What is a Maine Needham anyway?
We're so glad you asked!
Also known as Potato Candy, Needhams have a coconut and potato filling covered in dark chocolate (don't knock it 'til you've tried it - they're delicious!). They've been around for about 150 years and are a beloved treat of many Mainers.
You can learn more about the history and tradition of the Maine Needham here.
