About Us

Our story is 4 generations in the making.  Our Mom started this business in 2014. She grew up spending a lot of time with our Great Grandma and Grandpa in San, Diego, CA. They both loved to cook and spent a lot of time in the kitchen and the grill. Family time was important, and they shared many a great meal, music, cards and laughter with Uncles, Aunts and cousins too.

​

Christmas was always a big candy making time. Fudges, chocolates, cookies, and all kinds of sweet treats. We gave away sweet treats to work, friends, and family. A tradition she continued with us kids.

 

In May of 2000 our family moved to Montana to help her Dad open a candy store that he connected his antique stores too. It was wonderful! She loved the business. Making the fudge and hand dipping chocolates while providing quality customer service was awesome. Unfortunately working with her Dad wasn’t a good fit.

 

In 2014 Nick, our eldest brother joined my mom in Oregon to help run the business. Unfortunately, in 2017 our mom was diagnosed with Follicular Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I, Chavvahn, moved out to Oregon to help with the business and with cancer treatment. Nick and I helped our mom grow and run the business with help from our two other brothers until she passed in November of 2021.

 

Today, Nick and Chavvahn have continued with the business, using our Great Grandma’s recipes and our Moms’ Methods. It’s real family-oriented business.

Currently we do not have a 'storefront'. We take our product to the local farmer's markets and events throughout the state. We're hoping by adding a new online store presence more folks can have a 'sweet' time anywhere they live!'
