#Treats bringing old-timey sweets to a new generation

Flint and Stephanie Christensen own #Treats at 202 S State St. in Shelley, Idaho. They opened the candy shop in 2018 after falling in love with the corner building where their shop is now located.
The couple is all about creating memories. One of their favorite things about opening their shop is when elderly patrons find a candy they used to enjoy as a kid. The Christensens enjoy hearing the stories these patrons share with them. They also love introducing younger generations to old-timey candy. But these candy merchants are also candy innovators.
Flint is the creator, and Stephanie is the perfector, of the CottonPop, a cotton candy treat turned into a push pop. To create the CottonPop, they put their homespun cotton candy into a tube attach a stick to one end and seal the cotton candy inside the tube with chocolate. Not only is the CottonPop a fun, less messy way to enjoy cotton candy, it is also delicious because the Christensens don't just use regular cotton candy. Instead, they use a variety of hard candies to create new and unique cotton candy flavors. The CottonPop is sold in various stores in South Eastern Idaho and Northern Utah.
