Company at a glance

We believe candy is so much more than candy.

It has the power to say thank you, I love you, I celebrate you. It can even express what’s impossible to say… At its core, candy is a delicious treat. At its heart, candy Spreads Joy and Bits of Optimism

That joy starts with the process of creation. Our thoughtfully curated gifts and indulgences are unique, delicious, unmatched in quality, and sourced from around the globe. Walking into one of our stores or shopping online is inviting and exciting, filled with high-quality products and eye-popping choice designed to inspire our guests and offer endless possibilities.

When a client buys a box of truffles or fills a bag or curates a box, they transform into a Dreamer, a Creator, a Giver. We’re here to empower their process of creation so they can spread versions of joy in their own unique way. We also want our customers to embrace the freedom to indulge in a bit of self-care, as it’s important to remember to be a Giver to ourselves.

Our mission is to create experiences that wow our guests by offering bits of optimism along the way. Our candies and chocolates and treats come with positive affirmations, encouraging bits of bravery, strength, hope, kindness, and other powerful words we need to hear each day. Generosity is essential to who we are, and we’re committed to delivering generous gestures and good surprises to each and every one of our clients, one ooey gooey bit at a time.

We’re suckers for our clients, and we’ll bend over backwards, sideways and upside down to help make their day better than it was before. We want to help our guests say thanks, express their love, celebrate life, and create memories for the day, or for a lifetime.
