Chicago's Leading Women Candymakers Unite to Launch Exclusive Collection Supporting "New Moms" Organization

CHICAGO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Six of Chicago's most distinguished women confectioners have joined forces to create The Chicago Women-Owned Candycopia Candy Collection, a curated assortment of artisanal treats that celebrates female entrepreneurship while supporting local mothers in need.

"This box is more than just candy—it's a celebration of women, entrepreneurship and community," said Alycia Mason, co-founder and chief growth officer of Candycopia.

The limited-edition collection, which retails for $49.95, features signature creations from each of six local artisans, including:

• Sweet Addiction Toffee's handcrafted, third-generation-recipe Butter Toffee
• XO Marshmallow's popular Funfetti Marshmallows
• Katherine Anne Confections' award-winning Rosemary Sea Salt Caramels

• Chocs N Boxes' 5-piece BonBon collection featuring unique flavors like Calamansi Caramel and Ube

"Each piece in this collection tells a story of passion, craftsmanship and dedication to quality," said Katherine Duncan, founder of Katherine Anne Confections, "and we're proud that 10% of each box sold will go to support New Moms, an organization whose mission is to strengthen families by partnering with young moms as they progress toward housing stability, economic mobility and family well-being."

President and CEO of New Moms, Dr. Laura Zumdahl, said, "This partnership exemplifies how women-led businesses can come together to create positive change in our community.
