Though more consumers are pursuing a healthy lifestyle, it won’t stop them from seeking indulgences that meet their needs, whether they’re based on health or ethical concerns.

Entrepreneur Magazine has put 13-year-old Alina Morse, founder of Zolli Candy, on the cover of its September 2018 issue to highlight the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Yesterday — while being interviewed by CNN on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange — Alina Morse, founder of tooth-friendly Zolli Candy, pledged to expand her Smiles Program candy giveaway from 250,000 to 1 million lollipops.  

Zollipops, created by 12-year-old “kidpreneur” Alina Morse, has become the top-selling sugar-free hard candy on Amazon, just before Halloween.

Morse, a Michigan native, will be featured in the 2017 Wild & Wacky Edition of Ripley’s Believe it or Not, which is designed for children ages 8 to 12. The special edition will be distributed to more than one million schools, libraries and families in North America, Australia and parts of Europe.
