Unrivaled
“Needing a reprieve from my duties, I’d found comfort in the kitchen, where Mrs. Hughes was bustling about.
I was quickly losing hope that we could save the company. I wished I had the time to develop a premium line of sweets, the way I had hoped to when I’d come back from Europe, but my failure with the hazelnut chews made me reluctant to try again. Besides, any new recipe required experimentation, and experiments took money.
I looked down at the colorful nuts I held in my hand.
If ...only we could sell something fancier than Fancy Crunch. Although . . . Fancy Crunch was fancy. At least . . . it was supposed to be. All those brightly colored candy-coated dragées. Father had created them from an old French recipe. I’d seen dragées by the jarful in Europe.
Maybe . . . was there any way to make them even fancier? What if I could turn them into my premium line of confections?
If we didn’t mix the colors . . .MoreLess
