Finding the sweet spot
What started as a solution for less-sugary treats for my kids became a whole new kind of snack.
What started as a solution for less-sugary treats for my kids became a whole new kind of snack.
I grew up Vietnamese, where desserts are never meant to be too sweet. So when I became a mom and every birthday party came with sugar-on-sugar cakes, I started baking my own.
I’m self-taught and posted my cakes on Instagram for fun, which is how a Food Network producer found me, and before I knew it, I was on the Great Chocolate Showdown.
That's where I fell in love with the world of candy. When I returned home, that curiosity turned into soft brittle. When shoppers at my first farmers market asked for something vegan and dairy-free, I went back to the kitchen and found a way to make it plant-based without sacrificing the flavor. After all, not all sweets need to be bad for you.
Today, it’s still a family affair. We make every batch by hand, pass out tasters at markets, and handle deliveries. My favorite part is hearing how our soft brittle reminds people of something from home. In my family, food has always been how we express our love. That’s why there’s always more than enough to go around.
