Life really is a bowl of cherries now that we’ve discovered Wes Raley’s sweet-tart cherry rock candies! They’re bright red, with an almost jewel-like shine we love to show off in retro glass candy jars (everyone has those, right?). Back in college, Wes 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. tip of the tongue If you can stand to be so patient, let these hand-rolled and hand-cut candies dissolve slowly on your tongue. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
