After sampling a few bags of freeze-dried candy at a local boutique, Cherry Creek high school friends Dylan and Bennett wanted to know more about how it was made. What began as a curiousity and hobby, quickly became a real business.

After a few months selling at school and at Denver fairs, they decided to get serious and reinvest all their earnings into a top quality freeze-dryer and premium packaging.

At the same time, they had the opportunity to enter Esquilo Candies in Young Americans Bank's Youthbiz Denver area contest. That experience inspired them to launch their online store with a few popular flavors to begin, and a large variety of unique offerings in the near future.
