A Slice of American Candy History
The beloved fruit slice has deep roots in American candy-making traditions. These treats can trace their origins back to the H.W. Powers Candy Company, founded in Boston, Massachusetts. Among the first to produce and sell fruit slices in the United States, H.W. Powers helped define the look and flavor of the jelly fruit slices we know and love today.
In the 1980s, a former Powers employee acquired the rights to this classic candy and established the Boston Fruit Slices brand. Originally handmade in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the company later moved to Sanford, North Carolina in 2016, expanding production while preserving the artisanal techniques that have made these treats so special.
Today, Boston Fruit Slices are still made in small batches using traditional methods, maintaining the candy’s reputation for quality, flavor, and craftsmanship. When you enjoy a fruit slice from Wockenfuss Candies, you’re tasting a piece of American confectionery history.
