Confections


At Mother Murphy’s,
we love a confectionery challenge.To date, we have created more than 60,000 food flavoring formulations. We draw from this deep catalog to create flavors that are the sweetest of the sweet and sourest of the sour, as well as fruity, spicy, savory or traditional candy flavorings.
If a confectioner or candy manufacturer wants to break convention, we can help create new and novel food flavoring that harmonizes with their desired texture and shape. Our company may be more than 70 years old, but we’ve never stopped innovating.
