Black Pepper Melon Lollipops

This week, we started selling new flavors including Black Pepper Melon lollipops in our Etsy store. When I found out that a new, high-quality natural Black Pepper essence was available, I ordered it immediately without any particular plan for it. I just knew I needed to try it out in a dessert context where you wouldn’t usually see it.

Honeydew Melon was one of the first flavors I tried pairing it with, and I was delighted when our taste testers started raving about it:

a very solid flavor that's the kind of unusual brilliance we expect from This Charming Candy – Deb & Mike

I loved, loved love the Black Pepper and Melon--Spot on for my palate!  I wouldn't change a thing – Anne

You might think a sophisticated combination such as this one would be enjoyed only by adults. Well, think again. When I was refining the recipe, testing different levels of pepperiness, my friend’s daughter got in on the action with Mom & Dad and declared, “I love these! I like that one and I also like that one over there.”
