Chicken Bones
Confectionery product
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chicken Bones is a line of candy products manufactured by Ganong Bros. of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, and available in Canada. A pink cinnamon-flavoured candy with a chocolate filling, it is 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 was created in 1885 by Frank Sparhawk,[2] a candy maker from Baltimore who took a Ganong Bros. job opening.[1] The original manufacturing method continues to be used.[3]
These candies are used by New Brunswick brewer Moonshine Creek Distilleries to make Chicken-Bones-flavoured liqueur.[4][5][6]
