Chicken Bones Explained
Chicken Bones are a line of candy products manufactured by Ganong Bros. of St. Stephen, New Brunswick and available in Canada. They are pink, cinnamon-flavoured candy with a chocolate filling, and are considered a traditional treat among Atlantic Canadians during Christmas. Due to its popularity, it is the sole remaining hard candy manufactured by the company.[1]
Chicken Bones were created in 1885 by Frank Sparhawk,[2] a candy maker from Baltimore who took a Ganong Bros. job opening.[1] The method used to manufacturing them continues to be used.[3]
They are used by New Brunswick brewer Moonshine Creek Distilleries to make Chicken Bones-flavoured liqueur.[4] [5] [6]
