frosters

Frosters are a type of confectionery that originated in the United States during the 19th century. They are small, round, and typically hard candies that are often flavored with fruit juices or extracts. The name "froster" is believed to have derived from the German word "frost," referring to the icy, cold sensation the candies can evoke when placed in the mouth. Frosters are typically made from a combination of sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings, and are often coated in a thin layer of sugar or chocolate. They are commonly used as a topping for ice cream, sundaes, or other desserts, and are also enjoyed as a standalone treat. Frosters are available in a variety of flavors, including classic options like cherry, lemon, and orange, as well as more exotic choices like mango, pineapple, and coconut. They are often produced in large quantities and sold in bulk, making them a popular choice for home bakers and commercial bakers alike.
