The Story Behind Nannie’s Sweet Treats

Hi, I’m Alyse, the owner of Nannie’s Sweet Treats. This business is more than just candy—it’s deeply personal to me. I started Nannie’s Sweet Treats in honor of my mother, who passed away shortly after Christmas in 2025 after a tragic car accident. Losing her was something I never could have prepared for, and instead of focusing only on the loss, I wanted to remember her for the good days—the laughter, the joy, and the love she brought into every room.

My mom was truly the life of the party. She had this energy that made people feel happy, welcomed, and alive. When I created this business, my goal wasn’t just to sell candy—it was to recreate that feeling. I wanted to bring that same joy into a room through the experience itself. From the moment guests walk up to the candy cart, see the bright, vibrant colors, and taste the candy, I want them to feel that same excitement and happiness that my mom gave to everyone around her.

As a mom of three children, I also became more aware of what we were actually consuming every day. I started to realize how many candies here in the U.S. are filled with ingredients that aren’t good for our bodies. That pushed me to start doing my own research, and that’s when I discovered Swedish candy—and I fell in love with it. Not only is it delicious, but it’s made differently. Many options are free from high fructose corn syrup, made without artificial dyes or food colorings, and include vegan and even some gluten-free choices. It felt like a better option for my family, and something I could feel good about sharing with others.

That’s how Nannie’s Sweet Treats was born—a combination of love, loss, motherhood, and a desire to create something meaningful. This business is my way of honoring my mom while also bringing something unique and better to my community. Every event I’m a part of means so much to me, because it’s not just about candy—it’s about creating moments, spreading joy, and giving people an experience they’ll remember.

Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to share something so close to my heart.

Love, Alyse
