What is Martha Washington Candy?<\/h2>\n

Martha Washington Candy is one of the those old-fashioned recipes that gets passed down from generation to generation! They are nostalgic and heart-warming, and my favorite kind of recipe to make for my family and friends. It\u2019s unclear how these little bites of heaven originated, but most conclude that they were invented by a chain of candy stores. These stores were popular from the 1890s until the depression in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

They are always filled with a creamy coconut center with some type of nuts, and then covered in chocolate. Often recipes include maraschino cherries, which, in my opinion, gives them an extra special taste. Plus, the pop of red color in the center makes them perfect for homemade gift-giving during the holiday season, and for Valentine\u2019s Day treats! <\/p>\n
