Our inspiration: Where it all began

Our inspiration from the very beginning, and eventually our

 namesake, has been Katrina’s mother Elizabeth. Elizabeth 

grew up on a small farm outside of Wausau, WI and was one of eight children. She learned from her mother the family secrets to baking candy and Katrina’s favorite: chocolate covered popcorn.

                               It soon became a tradition that Elizabeth passed on to her daughter, and Katrina has very fond memories of her and her mom spending the holidays baking together.

 I had the privilege last year to meet Elizabeth and see her family home before she passed away, and she was so happy that Katrina and I are turning her dream of selling her chocolates into reality. We couldn't think of a better way to honor Elizabeth and her wonderful family recipes than to name our business after her.
