Wisconsin Fairy Food

If you’ve never heard of Fairy Food, you’re in for a delightful surprise. This whimsically named confection—sometimes called Angel Food Candy or Nest Candy—is a beloved holiday tradition in Wisconsin, where it’s passed down through generations like a sugary heirloom. Light as spun sugar, with a delicate honey-toffee flavor and a shatteringly crisp texture, it’s unlike any candy you’ve tried. And when dipped in chocolate? Pure magic: the contrast of airy crunch and rich cocoa is downright enchanting.
