From the popular King Caramel to the quirky Marshmint, See's shares how their team of chocolate connoisseurs adds a pinch of magic to make every piece of candy taste like it's fresh from Mary See's kitchen. Learn how See's candy experts hold chocolate tastings, treating batches like fine wines, to choose the very best; how bonbons are still meticulously hand-dipped to perfection; and how See's cooked, tasted, and evaluated 250 recipes to create the perfect truffle.
