The Legend of the
Candy Pirates
Every pirate in the northern waters was chasing gold. Captain Elias Rook was chasing something sweeter — and it took him twelve years and ten thousand miles to find it all.
A Captain With a Sweeter Idea
Captain Elias Rook tasted gold exactly once. It was cold, it was hard, and it was entirely flavourless — and he decided on the spot that the world had its priorities upside down.
So he turned the Sugarhound south, then east, then wherever the wind smelled faintly of caramel, and went looking for a different kind of treasure. His crew thought he had lost his mind. Six months later they were fighting over the last liquorice twist from Alicante, and nobody mentioned gold again.
"Gold buys a thing once. Candy buys the whole afternoon."
— Captain Elias Rook
Twelve Years, One Rule
The rule was simple: never leave a port without something nobody back home had tasted.
Liquorice twists from Spain, dark and glossy as a midnight tide. Sour skulls from Sweden that made grown sailors weep. Merengue from Italy, fudge from Germany, giant gummy frogs from a harbour nobody on the crew could pronounce. Each find went into a wooden tube, each tube into a chest, and each chest into the hold — and that is still exactly how we pack them.
Build a Chest of Your OwnFrom the Old World to the Northern Lakes
Madrid · Rome · Berlin · Stockholm · Istanbul — and then a very long way north
Chapter Three. Legend says the Sugarhound was finally run aground on a frozen lake, a very long way from any sea a pirate had business being on. The crew hauled their chests out onto the ice, looked around at ten thousand lakes and not one palm tree, and decided this was as good a place as any to open a shop.
That shop is us. Every barrel, rope and chest in a Candy Pirates store is there for a reason — the Captain kept his treasure this way, so we do too. Open the lids, mix what you like, and weigh your haul at the counter.
Over 200 sweets from more than ten countries. All of it in Minnesota. All of it waiting for you to fill a chest of your own.
