SmartSweets contacted LET’S about our 2SLGBTQIA+ Canada History workshop. They asked, as some of their staff are US based, that we also include US facts, which we were happy to do. The workshop went well, with participants particularly liking the multiple choice section.
The origin of SmartSweet by creator Tara Bosch:
“I’ve always had a love affair with candy. I started SmartSweets when I recognized I wanted to change my relationship with candy after experiencing the negative effects excess sugar has on our health. I tried to eat less sugar, but that only led me to crave candy even more, sparking my quest to Kick Sugar, Keep Candy! After spending months recipe testing in my kitchen with a gummy bear mould from Amazon, I innovated the first delicious candy – without all the sugar.”
SmartSweet Mission:
“Kick Sugar Keep Candy
