Justin and Angela Bard making treats together in the kitchen

About us

Angela & Justin Bard

We’re the husband-and-wife team behind The Candy Bard Co., founded in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 2026. Our company name is a play on our last name, Bard.

For years, we made caramels for friends and family. When people started asking to buy them, we decided to turn that tradition into a business.

We still make our treats in small batches, with the same care that went into those first gifts.

Our ingredients

We use the finest ingredients, including fresh, local cream, real vanilla and Belgian chocolate. Care in the ingredients is part of the care we put into every batch.

Our community

We’re proud to be a women and veteran owned business. The veteran community is especially important to us, and that connection is a core part of who we are.
