It all started at Grandma’s house during the 90’s where young Robert unwound after long work days on his chicken and corn farm. When it was time to visit Grandma’s house, it was indefinite they’d have a good time. Nobody can take back the nostalgic feeling of watching black-and-white films together, ordering take-out food for movie nights, and running to the fridge for Grandma’s special Chocolate Walnut Fudge. “My Grandma didn’t make a lot of snacks, but when she did, she made them just right.” says Robert.

A young girl was also growing up in the same 90’s era, being conditioned for entrepreneurship at a young age. With her dad owning a restaurant and catering business her first half of her life, Cora was serving food at bingo halls by the age of 10. “I remember watching my parents prepare catering orders day in and day out for hungry factory workers, and practically living at the restaurant during the summertime.” says Cora.
Two worlds collide
Robert and Cora met in high school when she moved to North Huntingdon, PA, and they then parted ways for nearly a decade after graduating in 2011. After reuniting in 2018, marrying in 2020, it wasn’t until a couple years after their first child in which adversities led them to take a leap of faith by bringing sweetness to the world. Grandma’s recipe of fudge turned into a career driven by love, passion, and purpose.
