Sheltons

Sheltons are a type of small, round, and often colorful confectionery that are popular in many countries, particularly in the United States and Canada. They are typically made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients, and are often flavored with vanilla or other natural flavors. Sheltons are known for their distinctive shape, which is achieved by dropping the mixture into a bath of corn syrup and then rolling them in a mixture of sugar and flavorings. This process gives them their characteristic smooth, rounded surface.

The history of Sheltons dates back to the early 20th century, with the first known patent for a similar candy being issued in 1912. The candy was originally produced by the Sheltons Candy Company, which was founded in the United States. Over the years, the recipe and production methods have evolved, but the basic concept remains the same.

Sheltons are often enjoyed as a treat or snack, and are available in a variety of flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and fruit. They are also popular as a gift item, with many people choosing to give them as a sweet treat for special occasions. Despite their simple appearance, Sheltons have become a beloved candy in many households, and are often associated with nostalgia and childhood memories.
