Jan's Homemade Candies: Home is where sweet skills are honed
Family traditions lead to a dream come true — a retail confectionery shop — for Jan Lendi in Florida.
When visitors click on the “About Us” link on Jan’s Homemade Candies website, they’ll come across Jan Lendi talking about her Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish roots, about helping Mom bake and decorate cakes to earn extra income and about homemade, chocolate-decorated Easter eggs.
Given such a heritage, it’s not surprising that Lendi gravitated toward making her own confections, first at home as a grade school room mother, making chocolate-covered pretzel rods and chocolate mascot pops for her children’s sport teams.
