Loree Sandler and Bob Michelson both appeared in Shark Tank Season 15 Episode 17 and asked the Sharks for $100k for 10% equity in their company Let Them Eat Candles which is an Edible Chocolate Candles.
The idea for the edible chocolate candles business came to Loree during her son’s 12th birthday party. She saw how good it would be if a candle was put in a cake and it could be made edible.
She left her job as an architect to learn how to make chocolate candles at Chicago’s French Pastry School and the Chocolate Academy. She made many prototypes and tested them to reach the final product. To bring the product to the market, she created a website with better packaging. A total of 1.5 million candles have been sold in this company since January 2012.
