Flavor Breakdown:  

Vanilla Whiskey - Vanilla pairs well with whiskey, and according to the church, Saint Patrick's symbolic color is blue, not green, so we made this blue. We've greatly improved the whiskey flavor this year.

Irish coffee, historically, is a newer Irish flavor tradition, invented in 1943. This year we updated the flavor of this clear brown candy, by improving the whiskey flavor, and making it more Irish whiskey-like in taste. In our video we'll cover the original way to make Irish coffee, and how the drink spread world wide. I had fun researching the drink and tasting the drink.

Foam Toffee - This flavor is for a specific type of aerated toffee (not taffy) made in Ireland. It's mostly known for being a topping for the Knickerbocker sundae that Harry Potter enjoyed in the first book. Color: Orange, which is roughly the color of toffee.

There's nothing like Irish cream to accompany Ireland's light green. We have a video of this from 2016, and it has our marching band in it!

Barmbrack - I know this one is a stretch. Barmbrack is a quick bread associated with Halloween in Ireland. It is true Irish taste. I encountered this in NYC growing up with Irish neighbors, and while it traditionally had dried fruit in it, apparently the New York version used more new world dried fruits (go figure). I decided to stick with my childhood flavor here. This bread/cake has the tradition of a ring baked inside it. If it's in your piece, it means a year of good luck, or a year of marriage. It always felt to me that this was a similar tradition to the King Cake baby. While the flavor is out of season it is a delightful and unusual flavor of candy. It lets us have fun, by letting us make a dozen candy rings for our version of the ring tradition. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to get one in your bag. If you do, send a photo! The color is white.

Clover Honey - the sweet flavor that remains from the last summer to enjoy before spring starts.

Apple - Saint Patrick was known for planting apple trees, and it was important in old Ireland. While not often thought of, it's a flavor for the holiday.
