The invention
It happened in the little town of Werther, Germany in 1909. That is where confectioner Gustav Nebel created his most perfect candy at the peak of his career. He took fresh cream, real butter, refined white sugar, brown rock sugar, a pinch of salt and plenty of time to create the now globally famous Butter Candy.
