Cherry Candy

Cherry Candy

Known for its bright red color, sweetness, and slightly tart profile, we’d say that Cherry candy is one of the most cherished fruit-flavored candies of all time! The flavor has been used in candy production since the early development of fruit-flavored sweets in the late 19th century. First created by the French, who first developed this candy flavor in the 1700s with their iconic chocolate cherry cordials. 

However, in 1864, Cella’s chocolate-covered cherries, with cherry liquid, became the standard here in the United States, but we put those in a category of their own, although they’re still a core pillar in this candy-by-flavor category. In addition, cherry candy comes in all textures, including hard candy, chewy candy, gummies, lollipops, taffy, and all other candy types! As for brands, there are too many to list here in this description, but since you’re already here, we invite you to view them all.
