(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Sugar Mama’s Candy brings southern Colorado a fruity twist with their Tanghulu-inspired treat: fresh and frozen fruits dipped in a delightful candy crunch coating!

At Sugar Mama’s Candy, they keep things exciting with a rotating flavor list and seasonal options, especially when it comes to their candied grapes and pineapple. Mekayla Booysen, the owner and creator, showcases her latest handcrafted candied fruit arrangements and gives Loving Living Local’s host, Krista Witiak, a taste test!

This local pop-up shop is not just about candied fruit; it’s a sweet journey of resilience and community support.

“I was in a scooter accident downtown in Colorado Springs, lost all my front teeth, and couldn’t work. Doctor bills started coming in, and I couldn’t afford dental implants. I posted the website with only $30 in my account. I immediately received an amazing response from the community, which kept me going,” Mekayla said during her interview on Loving Living Local.

Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply satisfying your sweet tooth, these unique treats promise a burst of sweetness in every bite. For more information or to place an order, visit Mekayla’s business on social media @Sugarmamascandy_cos.
