Cider Mills Open, Local Products a Hit
Fall can be bittersweet. The end of summer, back to school, and snow around the corner will make most people wish they had done more in June and July. However, the autumn also brings many wonderful traditions. Cider mills, Halloween, and the changing colors of the trees are some of the best things in Michigan.

Cider Mill season is in full swing—October is now here—with local products on hand to catch the eyes of conscience-minded shoppers. Shurms Candy, an Oakland Township business, is one of those made-in-Michigan companies delivering yummy treats to most of the area cider mills.
Michigan apples, on-site donut making, and fresh cider bring out the masses to visit the Rochester Area mills. However, the additional local products keep shoppers wanting more and coming back often.
What is Shurms Candy?
Soft candy chews is the short answer. Original Shurms come in caramel apple, caramel coffee, and caramel cherry flavors. The caramel apple—half sweet-caramel, half tart-apple—is a favorite at cider mills.

Their newer candy is the Shurms Mitts. The mitten-shaped candies come in three flavors. Peanut butter, caramel, and mint meltaway—coated with premium milk chocolate—shaped in the form of our mitten state.
Shurms Candy also has Michigan Taffy. Apple, cherry, blueberry and grape are the unique flavors found in in an eight-ounce box.
Shurms Candy strives to bring happiness with innovative and exclusive products. Based in Oakland Township, their candy can be found all around the state.
