Our butter treats are artisanal hard boiled sugar sweets with a rich, creamy butter flavour. The sugar mass is boiled at high temperature until it crystallises hard, after which the butter flavour is worked in. The result is a firm sweet that dissolves slowly, gradually releasing a sweet, buttery note that is warmer and rounder than that of a fruity sweet.
In Flanders they're known as boterspekken and belong to the classic confectionery found in sweet shops generation after generation. A familiar taste for anyone who grew up with proper old-fashioned sweets.
