Made Like Memory

Maple Sugar Leaves & Brown Butter Melts
A tribute to New England sugaring season and Midwest harvest tables alike. Pure maple, a touch of cream, and a mold passed down through three candy-making families.
The Southern porch in candy form. Toasted pecans folded through amber sugar, stretched thin on marble, and cracked by hand for that unmistakable country fair shatter.
Pulled sugar pillows with the warm glow of 1970s autumn fair treats. Rolled twice in sparkling sugar so they glisten like ornaments in a holiday candy dish.
Dark, dramatic, and deeply nostalgic. Cooked to a deep amber, whipped with air, and shattered into generous blocks that taste like harvest homecoming nights.
Our marble table in Franklin, where every harvest batch is poured, pulled, and packed by hand.
Heritage Craft Since Harvest Days
Old-Fashioned Handmade Confections, Kept the Slow Way
Hearth & Hollow began with a rescued copper kettle, a grandmother's marble slab, and a shoebox of 1960s county fair candy wrappers. Today we still cook every batch over steady heat, test by look and aroma, and stretch brittle by hand while it sings.
We make heritage American confectionery for people who remember when sweets came from a counter, not an aisle. Small pours, honest ingredients, and textures you cannot rush: snappy, shattering, melting, glowing.
“It tastes like the fall festival of my childhood — the leaves, the cider, the candy dish that was never empty.”
From grandma's harvest candy dish to nostalgic harvest homecoming sweets, our lookbook celebrates the flavors that raised generations of American families.
