Buy our candy: www.pd.net Black Friday Coupon Code in Video
Join our Patreon at / loftypursuits
Listen to our podcast: loftypursuits.libsyn.com/website
Greg makes a new type of candy, by working in cocoa powder into black cherry candy for a unique candy with mouth flavor. We also have a coupon code good for Black Friday weekend 2019 or while supplies last. It's at the end of the video.
These are made on a Thomas Mills drop roller from the late 1800's.

When I was a kid I'd eat just about anything in the cupboard. I'd eat spoonfuls of sugar,uncooked oatmeal,flour,spices,peanut butter,you name it,but I always thought the cocoa powder tasted bitter and bland because it didn't have sugar. When you mentioned it had to be cooked to bring out the chocolate flavor it made perfect sense.

We loved it all, and you have such an incredible talent. Thank you so much Greg, you have made our Christmas even more memorable. I cannot wait to order more from your great store.
