Sue, my friend from PSU (my neighbor in the dorms, actually), decided to leave an unsatisfying job at a large software company and launch a candy-making company called This Charming Candy with one of her friends. She was always a free spirited kind of gal, and I love her for it, so I was nervous and happy for her over this endeavor.
Her company, This Charming Candy, specializes in gift-worthy lollipops.You're probably thinking, Lollipops??? I've tried the lollipops she makes and they are AMAZING. They are definitely not the kind of tinted plastic lollipops you get at the bank -- they are sophisticated combinations of flavor. I should note that I don't even like hard candy and I love these lollipops! My favorite, so far, is Salted Caramel, but I'm going to try Pistachio-Marshmallow soon. Other flavors include root beer float, vanilla-cardamom, and nutmeg creme....mmmm.
Believe it or not, but she just found out that her lollipops are appearing in Real Simple Magazine this month! I am so happy for her!!!! So, in addition to the millions of readers that will see her product, I'd like to add my ten or so blog readers to the list. :-)
So, if you're hankering for a good lolly or need a nice housewarming gift or a nice present for a sick friend, consider my friend Sue, following her candy-making dreams out in Washington State.
