Our Story

The story of Mama's Candies began decades ago, as family recipes have been passed down for several generations. My grandma Bernie began the tradition of making fudge to share with family and friends during the holidays. My mother Alice created a delicious soft caramel recipe, and the toffee recipe was shared with me by my former mother-in-law Betty. 

Having attended culinary school, working many years in the field, and being a short order cook for my three kids growing up, it was only natural that I found myself in the kitchen a lot! I've been told that I show my love for others by drawing people together through my cooking. 

The catalyst to start Mama's Candies came in 2007, when I catered my neighborhoods' annual holiday party. Everyone made a point to tell me how delicious my candies were. It was strongly suggested that I start selling to the public.  With lots of support from family and friends and many hours of refinement we have the delicious candies of today.
