History

Established in 2014.

Both of my grandma’s loved to cook and nothing made them happier than to watch my three sisters and myself tear into their candies and baked goods. The recipes I use for my candies and treats are the same ones they passed down. Like them, I only use the best of ingredients and love it when people enjoy my confections.

Dragon’s Horde Candy all started with a piece of maple flavored hard candy. I had made some for my weekly game night and one of the players said that he bet he could sell it at work. So I gave him the rest to see what happened. Two days later I had three orders of five different flavors and requests for fudge and peanut brittle. In honor of the game we were playing (Dungeons & Dragons) I named my soon to be formed company Dragon’s Horde Candy.

Business Owner

Hi, despite what it says above, call me Scotty. (Melvin is a hard name to go through 3^rd grade with!) I went though the Army serving from 89 – 97 then moved around quite a bit after I got out settling in Florida, Texas, Missouri, then back here in my home state of Illinois. In addition to being a soldier I have also been employed as an assistant manager at a gas station, a correctional officer, an over the road driver, and a paramedic. I LOVED being a ‘medic then I ended up getting heart problems. The docs said I would never work again. I was raised as a hillbilly so that hasn’t set well with me. Beings I couldn’t find anyone to hire me I decided to hire myself! Now I am the owner of Dragon’s Horde Candy and doing what the docs said I couldn’t do.
