Quin candy founder Jami Curl appeared on CNBC to talk about the growing non-chocolate candy industry (which tallied $10 billion in sales last year). "There was a big need for non-chocolate sweets," Curl says of her hard-candy concept. "That was interesting to me, because I didn't want to get into any business involving tempering and tricky things around chocolate." Luckily for Curl, the non-chocolate candy industry expects to grow by an additional $1.3 billion in the next five years. [CNBC]
