Needhams are a traditional Maine candy thats roots date back to the late 1800’s, made with a secret ingredient - potatoes! (You’d never know but it makes the filling fluffy and delicious.)
These delicious coconut and potato filled chocolates are made by Maine Needham Company and topped with our flaky “Upta Camp” Apple Wood smoked sea salt.
From the New England Historical Society about the Needham:
“The Maine potato candy known as the needham has always stood in the shadow of the whoopie pie, but generations of Mainers have nonetheless revered the sweet confection.
Mainers find needhams in their Christmas stockings. Maine moms get them in gift boxes on Mother’s Day. Maine grandmas make them at home, and Maine convenience stores display them by the cash register.”
