Pressed Candy

Pressed Candy

Pressed candy, often called "chalk candy" due to its texture, is made by compressing finely powdered sugar (typically dextrose or glucose) and other ingredients with a small amount of binder in molds under high pressure. This process, which largely bypasses the boiling and crystallization typical of other candies, allows for consistent shapes and sizes. The invention of the candy press in 1847 revolutionized production, enabling mass manufacturing. Famous examples include the iconic, tart Sweethearts, Necco Wafers, and the fruit-shaped Runts candies. Pressed candies are known for their firm, often chalky, texture and intense, immediate flavor release. Explore the diverse world of pressed candies and find your favorite crunchy treat!
