Like most kids, 10-year-old Henry MacLane loves candy. Unlike most kids, Henry decided to turn his love of sweets into a business and created the Chocolate Fat Fish Company three years ago.
“We package our mixed candy in clear little cellophane bags and color code it by separating each bag into different colors,” he says. “They’re great birthday party favors.”
When Henry first started his business, he planned to package unwrapped candies, such as gummy bears, but was told he needed a license to sell unwrapped candies. That didn’t stop Henry!
“He asked how he could sell in stores and decided to iterate and create a medley of these colorful pre-wrapped candies, package them and rebrand,” says dad Jared.
“To say I’m proud is an understatement,” adds mom Katherine.
In addition to his website, ChocolateFatFish.com his candies can be found at Katie’s Hallmark stores in Brentwood and Belle Meade.
