AvenueSweets
A (very) quick history
The story...
Before
For years the candy maker - Agnieszka Jones, a.k.a. Agnes - was whipping up big sheets of caramels in her house. She cut them by hand, wrapped them herself and gave them as gifts to friends and neighbors. Those same friends and neighbors were persistently urging her to start a candy business.
The beginning
In 2005, with her two kids finally in elementary school she took the plunge and started AvenueSweets. Originally, it started with just two caramel flavors (vanilla and chocolate) and her amazing almond nougat. Within the first year, the nougat found it's way into Martha Stewart Living magazine and her caramels into the gift bags at the International Emmy Awards.
Now
Today, AvenueSweets is a massive multi-national corporation. No, just kidding. It's a family business operated by Agnes, her husband Bruce, and a magnificent group of confectionery connoisseurs who craft and package our delicious, all natural treats just for you.
