Newfangled Confections

ADDICTIVE. Can’t stop, won’t stop (just like TSwift).
The original peanut frittle is exactly what it says: a little sweet peanut treat. But the star of the show in my book is the pralines. GOOD GRACIOUS, is this what the heavens are made of? Melt in your mouth sweetness with a crunch. I bought some right on the spot at Indieana Handicraft Exchange. It is taking all the strength in me not to eat the entire bag in one sitting. Note that it has a shelf life of less than a week, so plan accordingly if it will be a gift. If it’s for yourself, well, I don’t think you’ll have any issues devouring it before it expires…
Newfangled also makes spicy pecans. Any of these treats would make a sweet gift or stocking stuffer!

Ok I have not tasted much of their product but if taste anything like what they brought out to the Unilocal even at Sun King it is awesome!!!

I have a serious frittle addiction, thanks to Newfangled Confections.
It all started a few months ago when a local pop-​up boutique was selling these little brown boxes with a name I had never heard of before: FRITTLE. Being the type of girl who loves to try new things, I purchased a box not knowing that my world was about to change for the better.
Inside my box were these little tan squares and an sugary aroma that enticed me to pop one in my mouth immediately. Just one square was packed with such a sweet, creamy, and peanutty taste that I couldn’t help but pop another one in my mouth… and another… and another… and the next thing I knew the box was empty! It was like the frittle had me in a snacking trance. It was so hypnotic that I bought the other two flavors shortly after – sesame and coconut – both of which had a similar effect on me: GONE IN ONE SITTING.
Not only do I FLIP OUT over frittle, but also I have bought the pralines and sweet & spicy pecans. Those don’t last long in my possession either. Everything is – as Brooke K. puts it – THE BOMB. I hope you have the pleasure of finding out for yourself, and good luck trying to share.

Whenever I pull out that little white bag of sweet nutty pralines, I become the best mom ever. I search this table out whenever I sneak off by myself to INDIEana Handicraft Exchange or Unilocal Totally Bizarre. I haven’t been in the shop. But, that hasn’t kept me and my boys from becoming huge fans. The way this candy melts in your mouth along with the crunch of the nuts is pure heaven. And if I could resist the urge to eat all the Frittle and actually send it to my far away friends I’m sure I would expand their fan base. Sweet people with sweet treats. It just can’t be beat.

Can I just say that everything, and I mean everything, that I have ever had from Newfangled Confections has been AMAZING! I haven’t ever been to the actual store, but always find it a point to seek them about at any event that they have a booth at and buy my stash otherwise when I go into Goose the Market or Homespun.
The Frittle is melt in your mouth heaven. I never like the taste of traditional peanut brittle with all of its sharp edges. This is not like anything close to that. if you haven’t tried it, you must because it is glorious. If you have friends that are gluten free, no worries, you have just found their Christmas present because Frittle is gluten free.
My other absolute favorite are the Pralines. I seriously have to stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. Usually I don’t succeed, but I try. It is sugary, wonderful goodness. The sweet and spicy pecans are also wonderful.
If you don’t live near or are looking for a Christmas or birthday gift, all of their wonderful creations are available for purchase online. All you have to do is try any of their creations once and you will be hooked!

Two words describing Newfangled Confections candy: Addictively delicious! I will be trying, buying, eating, repeating these tasty confections.
These candies are «The Bomb» — yes I said it! The Pralines melt in your mouth with buttery, sugary, nutty goodness. The Frittle is a deliciously sweet, softer, peanut brittle. All candies are Gluten Free so these make great tasty gifts for friends with special dietary needs.
At a recent event I was able to try the owners version of the Peppermint Meringue and that is when the world stopped for a moment.
The best part is Owner Carrie Abbott is super sweet, friendly, and helpful. She has great stories to share about her business making purchasing from her even that much more special. Her store is located in the Mass Ave area and sounds like a place where a lot of fun happens. I plan to stop in the next time I am in the area! The great news is you can also purchase these treats at businesses around the city and online. Check out the website for more details.

I was recently a guest at the Unilocal Meet the Maker, Newfangled Confections candy making event. Owner, Carrie Abbott, hosted a small group to make Pralines that are sold across Indianapolis at Yats as well as on her online store. We all got our turn for a hands on event and eventually reaping the rewards and tasting our final product. She also let us sample chocolate covered bacon and buttered mints that she made. I’m not much of a sweet tooth, but everything was absolutely amazing! I took it home to share with the family, who were happy to take it off my hands.
Several weeks later, as I was planning for a local meeting, I thought it would be a nice touch to share a little local flavor with my team of 50. Carrie met me downtown with her little brown boxes of Frittle wrapped in our company’s signature blue ribbon.
Needless to say, I made quite the impression with everyone just before they departed for home. Many were thankful to have something to take home to share, while others immediately dug in to see what it was.
If you’re looking for an original gift for a coworkers or colleague, do consider giving Carrie a ring. Whether its Pralines, her Frittle or spicy pecans, she’s sure to help you leave a sweet impression!

Chocolate bacon: try to stop eating it.
Pralines: soft, decadent. the perfect combo of sweet and salty.
Sweet & Spicy pecans: sweet and nutty, eat a few then the spicy will kick in!
Frittle: rich fudge taste with a thicker, chewy brittle texture. couldn’t eat just one.
