Drops (confectionery)
Appearance
Drops are a traditional small, round confectionery made from a mixture of boiled sugar and flavourings. They are "dropped" onto a pan or baking sheet to set.[1] In the 1840s, drop roller machines came on the market.[2][3] These machines took the hot, 120 °C, cooked sugar, and molded it into shapes between two hand cranked brass rollers.[4]
