In the market there has been a decided move away from candy. It's a
tooth rotter that provides empty calories which only turn to fat if you
don't exercise a lot. Still there are adherents with the biggest
selling time being Valentine's Day.
If you can come up with a line of sugar free confections that don't
taste like they are sugar free that would be a real seller. For things
sweet I like to visit the local Italian gellato shop. While not fat
free gellato contains less fat than ice cream. Additionally, they make
sugar free gellato that tastes absolutely fantastic. Everything is made
on the site. I think there may be a franchise but I haven't noticed any
chains. I think keeping things small keeps the quality up. At this
gellato establishment they also dip fresh fruit in chocolate to order.
