OK, it’s not free. But close enough: $0.01 for a bubblegum flavored hard candy, and $1 for a bag of five gourmet fudges or caramels (until one of her loyal fans talked her into upping it to $2). She dubbed her rustic line of fudges “Oh Wow,” which is completely appropriate. Then there are the homemade caramels, including black licorice and mint chocolate, each one uniquely handmade, cut and wrapped.
