For the Love of Candy
Sugar Island Candy Co. was built on a love for sweets and the joy of sharing them. Inspired by the nostalgic treats of childhood and the charm of Moosehead Lake’s very own Sugar Island, our brand brings playfulness and personality to every bite.
Whether it’s chocolate-covered memories or sour surprises, every mix we create is rooted in nostalgia and elevated for today’s tastes. We believe candy is more than a treat - it’s a time capsule, a celebration, and a way to connect with the people (and places) we love most.
Meet Our Founder
For Chloe, candy has always been more than a sweet tooth - it’s been a lifelong obsession. From negotiating candy as childhood currency, even convincing the Tooth Fairy to trade chocolate for coins, her passion started early and never let up. Founding Sugar Island Candy Co. was the realization of her childhood dream: to build a company rooted in nostalgia, joy, and playful indulgence.
The name Sugar Island isn’t just branding - it’s a heartfelt nod to summers spent on Moosehead Lake, a place filled with memories that inspired the spirit of the brand. After years in the gifting industry, Chloe saw a gap in the market: there wasn’t a candy company that felt both beautiful and delicious. She envisioned elevated mixes, thoughtful packaging, and a product that was as giftable as it was crave-worthy.
With a personality that’s fun, bright, and deeply sentimental, Chloe brings her love for storytelling and memory-making into every pouch. Sugar Island Candy Co. is her way of sharing those feelings - with every bite, a moment, a memory, a little magic.
What Makes Us Different
We don’t just sell candy - we tell stories with it. Each Sugar Island mix is thoughtfully crafted to spark joy and nostalgia, while still feeling elevated and intentional. From chocolate-covered gummy bears to champagne bubbles and cola bottles, our blends are made to surprise, delight, and satisfy all at once.
Our approach is simple: the best candies, packed with personality. No filler, no fluff—just playful, high-quality combinations you won’t find anywhere else.
Sugar Island: The Place Behind The Name
Our name comes from Sugar Island - an enchanting, memory-filled spot on Moosehead Lake in Maine. For Chloe, our founder, this island represents the simplicity of summer, the comfort of tradition, and the kind of sweetness that sticks with you long after. Just like our mixes, it’s a place that makes you smile.
