So I was walking down the street and I spotted an interesting sign that said "The Candy Pushers" and I thought, what's that? And I looked inside and sure enough, it's full of candy! So I thought I would go inside and speak to the... owner?
Yeah, I'm the owner. My name is Shannon. I'm the Candy Queen of the Candy Pushers.
Oh, hold it right there! We are talking to the candy queen! Okay, so relax everybody. I know it's exciting, but...
I'm the Candy Queen of the Candy Pushers. My wife and I own the business, and she's the Fudge Master. And we have...
And you say the fudge master, does that mean she makes the fudge?
Fresh homemade fudge every week.
Oh, oh, okay. I'm sorry people. Hold on. I have to get over this, because I'm a little excited -- it's fudge!
Yeah, we make and rotate through 48 flavors a year.
What kind of flavors of fudge exist?
There's the Fudge Packer. We have Lemon Blueberry uh Cheesecake. Citrus Bliss, which is an orange and lemon essential oils mix of fudge. We have Chocolate, Chocolate Walnut, Vanilla Pralines...
Oh, okay, do people get, like, addicted to this? It sounds a little addicting!
Yes. 100% We have people who come in every week to buy their fudge.
Because the chocolate does something to you, right?
Well, it makes you happy and puts a smile on your face.
Oh, there you go! So okay, people next time you're on University Avenue...
