Bang Candy Company

Nashville


When someone describes themselves as a 'sugar-peddler,' you know you're in for something quirky and fun. That's exactly how to describe Sarah Souther, an Irish native who has set up shop inside the Marathon Village complex. Her delicacies are all preservative-free, with no artificial colors or flavors, and everything is made small batch.

Start with the excellent marshmallows and work your way up to the chocolates. The Sparkle Bark (a version of peppermint bark) is particularly delightful.
