Drops (confectionery)

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.Davidson, Alan. The Oxford Companion to Food (Oxford, OUP, 2006), p. 257. In the 1840s, drop roller machines came on the market. These machines took the hot, 120 °C, cooked sugar, and molded it into shapes between two hand cranked brass rollers.
