Got Candy on the Brain

Well a wonderful weekend of candy making bliss has come and gone. This weekend was devoted to hours of creating hand made candy canes. From boiling the candy cane mixture to forming the perfectly shaped hooks, each cane was made with the utmost care. The major flavors of the weekend? Butter rum, peppermint, and grape. Paul pulls the sweet mixture over a metal bar, the heavy scent of peppermint stingingly potent in the kitchen. As he gently pulls and forms the colored candy mix, Paul kneads the dough into pencil sized candy canes, pearl white against deep reds. Each candy cane is completely unique, still warm as it moves down the line.

Fabinelli's Candy- Nothing But The Best

Paul Ghinelli comes from a long line of candy makers. It all started in 1914 when his great grandfather Charles Fabiano opened an ice cream shop in Holland, Michigan. The ice cream, an immediate hit, grew into a candy shop as well, at the urging of Charles's son, Michael Fabiano. Using only the finest ingredients and homemade techniques their decadent ice cream and candies quickly grew into a household favorite. Their business expanded, passing through generations of Fabiano and Ghinelli candy makers. Paul Ghinelli continues the legacy, 94 years after his great grandfather originally revealed Fabiano's Ice Cream and Candy to Michigan. He currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest hand made candy cane and one of the largest hand made ribbon candy. He remains true to the traditional hand made process and delights Michigan Candy and Chocolate Lovers with Fabinelli's delightful treats.

Candy Cane Flavors: Sassafras, Raspberry, Cherry, Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintergreen, Anise, Pina Colada, Grape, Fruit Punch, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum, Cinnamon, Lemon Lime, Butter Rum, Orange
