Editor's Note: Introducing Meet Me Mondays - Candy Version! I am Britta Malsch, the Purchasing Manager at Anderson's Candy Shop. I also help the Andersons with social media duties. As I enter my 10th year at the store, another one of my goals has been to help introduce each of our delicious candies to our wonderful customers, while also providing a tool for the general public to be able to identify our candy. I hope you enjoy this series which will highlight all the Anderson's Candy that you love!
Twelfth in our series is Cherrynut Cream.
Our Cherrynut Cream is for those who love flavor.
Packed full of rich cherry flavor, this cream center rivals Peppermint Cream for the most potent in our line!
Cherrynut cream is made and flavored much like the other fruit creams in our line. It starts out as a blank cream and is flavored with sweet cherry oil (yes, from real cherries). It is added just a few drops at a time until the flavor is just right. The cook is looking for an authentic and bold cherry flavor that will punch through a layer of chocolate to delight your pallet.
The originators of our recipe a few generations ago decided to "upgrade" this cream by adding a sprinkling of chopped pecans into every batch -- hence the Nut in Cherrynut Cream. The earthy pecans with the tart bold cherry swirl with our sweet chocolate and delight your tastebuds!
Much like other fruit creams we make, Cherrynut does not have a larger candy bar counterpart. But it does get to shine bright at Easter time!
That’s right, our Cherrynut cream also is made into a Cream Egg for Easter, but with a twist!
We add chopped pineapple and cherries to the recipe and Waa Laa! The Fruit & Nut Cream Egg is born!
When looking for a Cherrynut Cream piece in a box of our chocolates, remember to look for an oblong shape. This particular piece will have a “rough” mark on top, just like before on our Buttercream pieces and Peppermint Cream Bars. This mark has a scribbly or messy look to it. Messy, perfect and delicious.
Fun Fact: Cherrynut is also GLUTEN FREE!
