About Newfangled Confections

After an experiment gone deliciously right involving a peanut butter dessert, founder Carrie Abbott created for a wedding reception, her signature candy Frittle was born. What is Frittle you ask? It’s the perfect marriage of peanut fudge and peanut brittle. Shortly thereafter, Carrie took her creation and founded Newfangled Confections in 2012 – a candy company that is a contemporary return to blast-from-the-past candies with a dash of love and nostalgia. Candy maker and business owner, Carrie's modern take on grandma’s candy dish favorites is inspired by fond childhood memories that included many trips with her grandfather to Hook’s Drugstore in the late 1970s. Newfangled Confections is based in Indianapolis, IN where Carrie lives with her husband and two daughters.
