Pure Imagination, A full meal as candy.

As you might imagine, it's hard to want to be a candy maker without being inspired by Willy Wonka. Roald Dahl's book is a wonder about how to look at flavors and sweets. At Lofty Pursuits we tend to use Wonka as an verb, not a noun. We use it like: "We're going to Wonka the heck out of this candy." Wired magazine asked me if I could be inspired by Willy Wonka in time for the new film that will come out on December 15th 2023. It was easy. I always loved the scene from the Gene Wilder version from the 70's where Violet had a meal in bubblegum and the pie went wrong. I don't make bubble gum, but I do make some of the coolest hard candies. This candy takes you through a full meal. Candied Ham Yes ham, weirdly a flavor we've perfected that we are known for. Candy is in it's name after all. Sweet Corn. Once again sweet is in this name. Complete with butter salt and pepper. Apple Cider It slowly bubbles in your mouth as it dissolves for a little candy makers magic. Blueberry Pie.* Violet's favorite. A meal in candy. Vegan and tasty. Like everything else that we sell, this is perfect and sometimes confusing. "So shines a good deed in a weary world..." - Willy Wonka.   *contains gluten 2.75 oz bags.
