Mistress Muffy has been hard at work building the family business back up to what it use to be in all its glory. She is adding to the old recipes many new recipes that she has developed.
The family was always known best for its soft caramels that melt in your mouth. They were given the name "Heavenly Caramels" by King Peter the 1st of Serbia, father of King Alexander. The family has been making candies for the royal families dating all the way back before the Ottoman invasion of the 16th century.
The most popular time in history for our candies was during the reign of King Alexander of the Royal House of Karadordevic, his mother, Princess Zorka of Montenegro, who hailed from Romania bore 3 sons who, along with their mother, were crazy for the Collins family caramels.
Family members started coming across the sea to the United States during World War 1 and with them came copies of the families candy recipes.
All through the centuries a part of the family ran the candy business, prior to that, family members were employed by Kings. During that time there were no shops allowed in town, specialities were created for the Royal Family only. Peasants were not allowed to share in the tasting of these delicious delicacies nor could they afford to purchase this type of expensive sweet.
The family recipes have stayed alive all these years and each generation of family has developed and added new recipes which has made quite a few recipes for the Mistress, although it is written in text in the families history journals that Mistresss Muffy has been the creator of the families best seller.....Decandent Chocolate Truffles! |
