The candy retailer is the brainchild of Rosie O’Neill and Josh Resnick, a couple who first imagined a Candyland fit for grown-ups on their third date while at an outdoor screening of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (of course). The film prompted the entrepreneurial duo to wonder why kids should have all the fun, according to the Sugarfina website, sending the pair “on a quest to create the ultimate candy store for grown-ups.”

O’Neill and Resnick spent the next two years traveling to remote corners of the world, vowing to curate the best candies from around the globe to bring home to the U.S. From sparkling rosé bears imported from Germany to Parisian pineapple gummies made in France, they undeniably delivered on their promise.
