Ben Hur Candies

Well, it looks like the ONLY way we're ever going to revive the old Ben Hurs is for someone to BUY the recipe from Farleys & Sathers, since they claim it is proprietary information. But they've already said they have no plans to sell the recipe. Isn't it sad? The company isn't going to post the recipe to their website, but they're not going to sell it, and they certainly don't plan to start manufacturing Ben Hurs again. I mean, just stab me in the heart and get it over with.

Good Luck, 
 
After I initially confirmed that they had the recipe I contacted them to inquire about selling it but they did not reply.  They only ever sent me the standard reply that I posted in here a couple years ago.   I'm hoping that you have better luck with them.   

I have been on a search for these candies for many years. My Dad called them sen sens but the sen sens they sell in the foil pack isn't even close. I have although came across a product similar in flavor as a ben hur. The product is Violet mints by maker C. Howard. Give these a whirl and let me know what ya think.

I have read the blogs on the ben hur candy, and I miss them as much as anyone.
I am orig. from Buffalo, and I heard the recipe came from the native Americans near Rochester, NY.
They were sold in bulk at many stores in the Buffalo area, and I always
had a bag of them near me.
I also emailed the Farleys & Sathers and told them they must release the recipe
or sell the candy.
    One possible lead to the secret ingredient is that I purchased a cigar called Acid Kuba Kuba, and the scent of the cigar band
is exactly like a ben hur.
I wonder if the ingredients are such (tobacco) that they can't release the recipe?
If your are near a cigar store, go in and smell the wrapper on an acid Kuba Kuba cigar.
Meantime good luck.

Has anyone had any luck finding Ben Hurs yet?  I'm originally from Nanticoke PA and used to get them from Diamonds Candy store.  Doing an internet search led me to this forum.  I didn't know there were so many people on this same quest!  I sure hope we can find some or at least the recipe to make them.
