Thank You to Our Contributors
Any reporter will tell you — it’s the sources that make all the difference. This is never more true than when the time comes to compile our annual Candy Category Hand book. The following are chief among those who shared valuable information that allowed us to report on the categories covered in the 2006 handbook.
To all of you, we at Confectioner extend our most sincere thanks.
Your time and knowledge is invaluable,
your willingness to share it, truly generous.
