Blood Orange doesn't get enough love in the candy world. We’ve been making the hard candy and popcorn versions with our chili-lime blend for a while now, and they’re still the first things I grab when I’m heading out the door. Any other Blood Orange fans in here, or are you strictly a Mango/Watermelon crowd?
My husband and I own a small candy company in Texas and after launching our candy people would ask when will you introduce a snack version? Jump forward a couple of years and we were sat in a coffee shop called Cosmic in Austin with some other emerging brand owners and one of them made popcorn. We asked her if she could help and literally 2 weeks later she gave us samples to try and wow!!! So we launched with our top selling candy flavors but with a caramelized popcorn! Unlike the candy with the chili, lime and sea salt inside we dusted the corns after caramelizing them and added the flavoring! Everyone has a favorite right? Mine is the mango!
So we did a thing, me and my husband started a candy company, handcrafted and stretching the candy. Instead of a sticky Mexican candy with the spice on the outside we switched it up and put the chili, lime and sea salt inside! What do you think?
