Visions of those darned sugarplums kept us up the whole night before Christmas year after year-wondering what the heck sugarplums were and why on earth they were dancing. Now we know: a truffle-like chocolate-coated candy that will have you dancing all night long. Ours are made by hand from a luscious plum compote and wonderfully rich, dark chocolate. They're every bit as delectable as those enjoyed in Victorian England, where sugarplums were the toast of the aristocracy. Place one on someone's pillow before bedtime on Christmas Eve to revive an old tradition.
Sweet old-fashioned sugarplums are worth dreaming about.

“I was a little frightened to try these, but extremely curious, because of the famous poem. They are like giant chocolate covered cherries in consistency, but with a sweet plum flavouring instead. An excellent treat for the sweet lover in the family and, of course, any children.” — Audrey Ormberg, College Station, TX
“Dear Mr. Orton, I want to remark about the wonderful products your store has to offer. I did almost my entire Christmas shopping at Vermont Country Store. But the best thing I found in your catalogue was sugarplums. I was astounded that you had them because in the poem [The Night Before Christmas] sugarplums are mentioned. I had no idea how they tasted, so when I received them, I just had to eat one . . . well, maybe more than one! They were delicious! I hope this comming Christmas your store will carry them again so, again, I can eat a few of those tasty candies!” — Millie Parus, Chesterfield Twp, MI
“I am always looking for ways to make the holidays extra special. I love to browse through your catalog for ideas and found your sugar plums. On Christmas Eve I read the story "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and, when coming to the part where it mentions sugarplums, I hand them to my children. They get so excited! This year will make the 5th year, and I want to thank you for playing a part in making special memories for my family.” — Kathy Maloy, Hamden, OH
