These sweet-and-sour citrus candies are our favorite way to get our daily recommended dose of fruit. With flavors like lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit, we can’t help but pucker up! Back in college, Wes Raley, founder of Raley’s Confectionary, set down his lab tech textbooks, hopped on his Harley and sped off to Tallahassee, Florida, only to discover his true calling: the art of rock candy! He learned the trade at a local candy shop he’d seen on TV, then eventually got good enough to open his own store. Now he makes all kinds of creative, inventive candies with organic sugar and natural flavors, all boasting gorgeously intricate and whimsical designs. We’re totally crushing hard.
