Our Story
Welcome to Stars & Stripes Sweets! We’re a family-run business with a passion for two things: our country and our sweets. What started as a simple idea to bring our family together has grown into something bigger—a way to share a little piece of our American dream with you, one delicious bite at a time.
It all started when we were looking for something we could create and enjoy as a family. With Kert in the kitchen as our Candy Maker and Jaynie behind the scenes (and helping Kert when needed), we quickly realized this wasn’t just about making candy. It was about creating moments—whether it’s a snack shared at the dinner table or a treat to celebrate after the kids’ sports games.
Speaking of kids, they’re a huge part of our team! Mia, our high school swimmer, and Knox, our second-grader and karate champ, love to help whenever they can. And if you’re wondering, Knox is also the comedian in the family—he keeps us all laughing while we work.
Our products are more than just candy. They’re a tribute to the country we love, with patriotic themes that celebrate the American spirit. We’re proud to say that each batch of our freeze-dried candy is made with care, quality, and a whole lot of love.
Our vision? To make the best freeze-dried candy out there and become a household name for sweet treats. But more than that, we hope to build something lasting—something we can pass down to Mia and Knox someday, and something that brings joy to families all across the country.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let’s celebrate life’s sweet moments, one candy at a time.
Always,
Kert, Jaynie, Mia & Knox
