Having lived in London, there are some foods I will forever associate with England: fried fish and thick chips, custard on every dessert, baked beans on toast, and floral-scented candies. Flower-based candies seem less prevalent in America, but rose, lavender, and violet treats creams were found in every confectionery I visited in England. Given this, Violet Creams seem to be the perfect candy fit for Best Picture Nominee The Queen. Cheer on Helen Mirren's Oscar bid while munching on these delicate creams topped with candied violets.
