Enjoy a sweet treat with Werther's Original caramel hard candies. Used the best ingredients-real butter, fresh cream, white and a pinch of salt and a lot of time-to create a treasure worthy of being wrapped in gold. Because they turned out especially well, they were named Werther's Original in honor of the little village. Crafting this smooth, creamy caramel became a family tradition handed down through generations. Werther, candy-maker Gustav Nebel created his finest candy.
