Blueberries as Big as the End of Your Thumb
Robert Frost wrote about blueberries the way most people write about treasure: found, not planted, real sky-blue and briefly yours. That’s the fruit we chased for this candy. Not a flavoring that gestures at blueberry, but the berry itself, freeze dried and pressed into all natural extract, folded into honey candy drop by drop.
Blueberry bushes are pollinator plants. In spring, bees work the little bell-shaped blossoms, and by July the bushes pay it back in fruit. This candy holds that whole exchange in one drop: blossom, bee, berry. It opens with honey sweetness and finishes with the tart snap of a berry picked a day early.
Each hexagon-window box holds 3.5 ounces of individually crafted drops, made without corn syrup and without gluten. The box is sustainably made paper you can recycle or compost, and the inner bag is recyclable food-grade plastic.
What Makes Our Blueberry Honey Candy Special?
- Real blueberry, two ways: Freeze dried blueberries and all natural blueberry extract, not artificial flavoring. A touch of malic acid, the same acid found naturally in fruit, sharpens the tart finish.
- Honey at the center: Made with real honey and Non-GMO sugar. No corn syrup anywhere in the recipe.
- Sweet first, then the tart: The flavor arrives in order. Honey opens, blueberry follows, and the tartness lands last, like the berry itself.
- Gluten-free: Made without gluten. Produced in a facility that handles peanuts and tree nuts.
- Thoughtful packaging: A sustainably made paper box with a honeycomb window, recyclable or home-compostable when clean and dry.
Bring home the berry Frost went looking for.
How to use: Eat them right out of the box. Keep them in a coat pocket for a slow-dissolving sweet that lasts. Tuck a box into a care package, or pair a drop with a cup of hot tea and let the blueberry come through as it melts. Store in a cool, dry place away from sun and humidity.

Blueberry Honey Candy FAQs
Is there real blueberry in Blueberry Honey Candy?
Yes, two ways. Each drop is made with freeze dried blueberries and all natural blueberry extract, not artificial blueberry flavoring. A touch of malic acid, the same acid found naturally in fruit, sharpens the finish. Honey and non-GMO sugar make up the base, with no corn syrup, and the drops are made without gluten.
Is Blueberry Honey Candy sweet or tart?
Both, in that order. Honey opens the drop, the blueberry comes in behind it, and the tartness lands last, like a berry picked a day early. It isn’t a sour candy, and it doesn’t taste like blue raspberry or berry syrup. It tastes like real blueberry with honey around it, sweet first and tart at the finish.
Is Blueberry Honey Candy blue?
No. There’s no added coloring in any of our honey candy, and every flavor in the line is close to the same color, with only slight differences from batch to batch. The blueberry is something you taste, not something you see. If you’re giving a mix of flavors, the box tells them apart better than the drops do.
Are these honey candies kosher?
No. Our honey candy is not kosher certified, so please don’t rely on it for a kosher table or a kosher gift. If certification matters to you or to the person you’re shopping for, look to our jarred honeys instead: every honey we jar by hand in Owings Mills is Star-K kosher certified, from Wildflower to our Royale honeys.
Are your honey candies free of dairy, nuts, and soy?
Yes. There’s no dairy, nuts, or soy in any flavor, including Chocolate, which gets its flavor from cocoa rather than milk chocolate. Every flavor does contain non-GMO coconut oil, which some people with nut allergies ask about. The candy is made in a facility that also handles peanuts and tree nuts, so keep that in mind if nuts are a concern in your house.
Are your honey candies gluten-free and corn syrup free?
Yes to both. Every flavor is made without gluten and without corn syrup. Each recipe starts with the same four ingredients: non-GMO sugar, honey, water, and non-GMO coconut oil. From there, each flavor adds one or two of its own, like cocoa, ginger oil, vanilla extract, or freeze dried blueberries, and nothing else.
Where is your honey candy made?
Our honey candy is made in the USA with local honey. The recipes are short on purpose: every drop starts from honey and non-GMO sugar, and none of the flavors use corn syrup or added coloring, which is why the whole line comes out close to the same warm amber color.
How much candy is in a box?
Each box holds 3.5 ounces (99 grams) of honey drops, about six servings of 15 drops each. The box is about 3 by 5 inches, roughly the size of a tarot deck, with a honeycomb window so you can see the drops. It’s sustainably made paper you can recycle or home compost when clean and dry, and the inner bag is recyclable.
Do honey candies stick together in humid weather?
Yes, they can. Hard honey candy pulls moisture out of the air, and on a muggy day loose drops will start to cling to each other and turn tacky on the outside. Keep them sealed in their bag and away from heat, like a sunny windowsill or a hot car, and they’ll stay hard and separate.
How long does honey candy keep?
Honey candy is best within a year of the purchase date. Once you open a box, plan to finish it within three months. In between, keep it away from heat and humidity, which are what change hard candy most. If you’re buying ahead for the holidays or for gifts, a year gives you plenty of room.
Are your honey candies vegan?
Technically, no. Honey is made by bees, and many people who follow a vegan diet leave it out for that reason. Every flavor in our candy line starts with honey, so none of them fit a strict vegan diet. If you’re shopping for someone who eats vegan, it’s worth asking whether they include honey before you buy.
