Cinnamon Honey Candy

Good for the Beehive, Good for the Bees

Marcus Aurelius put the hive’s whole philosophy in one line: that which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees. Cinnamon has always understood something similar. It is the only spice that smells like a room, and a specific one at that: the kitchen in November, something in the oven, someone you love nearby. Whatever is happening in that room is good for everyone in it.

The bark itself has traveled further than nearly any ingredient we use, peeled from trees half a world away and carried along spice routes older than most countries. And yet it always tastes like home. In this candy, the honey opens first, and the cinnamon arrives behind it with real warmth: not the burn of a red-hot, but the slow kind that reaches you when you walk in from the cold.

Each hexagon-window box holds 3.5 ounces of drops made without corn syrup and without gluten. The box is sustainably made paper you can recycle or compost, and the inner bag is recyclable food-grade plastic.

What Makes Our Cinnamon Honey Candy Special?

• All natural cinnamon oil: True bark-warm cinnamon, not the candy-aisle scorch. The spice builds gently as the drop dissolves.
• Honey first, then the spice: The flavor arrives in order. Honey opens soft and sweet, and the cinnamon warms through behind it.
• A kitchen in your pocket: The pairing of honey and cinnamon is as old as baking itself: toast, oatmeal, apple pie, now in one drop.
• Gluten-free and corn-syrup-free: Made without gluten or corn syrup. Produced in a facility that handles peanuts and tree nuts.
• Thoughtful packaging: A sustainably made paper box with a honeycomb window, recyclable or home-compostable when clean and dry.

Carry November with you all year.

How to use: Eat them right out of the bag. Drop one into a cup of hot Cider & Spice Tea and let cinnamon meet cinnamon and apple; the pairing this candy was born for. Let a drop dissolve in a hot toddy where the cinnamon stick usually goes. Stir one into a mulled cider or a chai on the first cold afternoon of fall. Set a dish out when the baking starts and the kitchen smells like the candy tastes; a drop in warm milk leans it toward snickerdoodle territory. Keep the box by the kettle all winter; a small warming ritual for the darkest weeks of the year. Store in a cool, dry place away from sun and humidity.
