Candy Hall of Fame
The Candy Hall of Fame, presented by the National Confectionery Sales Association (NCSA), honors leaders whose passion and innovation have shaped the confectionery industry. Built on education, mentoring, fellowship, and recognition, this prestigious award celebrates a lifetime of achievement and lasting impact.
