Our Hard Candy Flavoring Capabilities
The team at Mother Murphy’s has a deep knowledge of the hard-candy manufacturing process. We can develop flavors that withstand the inherent challenges of manufacturing hard candies. Our team has developed flavors for all-natural, traditional and sugar-free hard candies. We also work with manufacturers to develop flavors that have low-flash components, such as fruits, that remain stable under high heat.
