Claire was first introduced to the concept of a spicy sweet by a newspaper article from Australia regarding a lady who managed to turn her homemade treat into a flourishing business. Claire went online to purchase some of these sweets and found that no one in the UK produced anything similar, so she decided to make her own. The most important aspect for Claire was finding a chilli that was bold and aromatic enough to hold its own against the tang and sweetness of the candy. After much trial and ardor she found a perfect one and mixed it with 7 other spices to create her signature spice blend.
