Food Friday: Candy & Confections

Candy is a staple of Halloween—or any holiday for that matter—and it just wouldn’t be All Hallow’s Eve without it. Candy comes in all shapes and sizes: Gooey, chewy, hard, glazed, chocolate, cherry, you name it, there’s a candy out there that has it. We have three of the finest confectioners in our region in the studio with us today.

Tom Krause is the candy-man behind Krause’s Homemade Candy in Albany, Mike Fitzgerald is the pioneer of the peppermint pig over at Saratoga Sweets in Halfmoon, New York, and Joe Suhrada is the master of chocolate over at Uncle Sam’s All American Chocolate Factory in Schenectady.
