Mollycoddled Hash Slinger keeps it local & simple
Who we are as a company-
We strive to bring those forgotten classic confections back to life with a modern palate.
Our Signature product is in fact the molten sugary goodness of the caramel. The artisan caramel has long been forgotten until now with our Salted Whiskey Caramels. Our confections are cooked in small batches, hand cut and hand wrapped using only the freshest ingredients we can get our sticky fingers on. We cherish our Oklahoma heritage and use many Oklahoma sourced ingredients in our candies. We believe that supporting fellow Oklahoma small businesses truly comes full circle for our state's economy. When we can't source something from within Oklahoma, supporting other small businesses nationwide takes priority over sourcing from larger companies.
How Mollycoddled Hash Slinger got started-
Around the holidays of 2011, owner and Head Sugar Slinger Melissa Wedman sought out to create a yummy treat she could gift to her friends and family but wanted to put a spin on it in memory of her late father. Her father loved all things caramel and had a discussion several years prior with him in regarding the growing artisan chocolate confections and hard candy market but the artisan sugar confection world was becoming a lost art. So, Melissa began playing with ingredients and flavor profiles until she felt she had it perfected. By the holidays of 2012 she was making several batches a week to gift to friends and family. Soon after, those recipients were asking to purchase the Salted Whiskey Caramels to gift themselves. After a few years of making the caramels in her home-by the hundreds-she felt it was time to explore the idea of a commercial operation. Her husband & Head Sugar Daddy (CFO) Justin has been a vital part in encouraging the new venture as he saw first hand the demand for these hand crafted confections. While watching the news one morning, Justin & Melissa came by a segment featuring a couple who make salsa and were participating in a program called Kitchen 66 in Tulsa, OK. Melissa immediately Googled Kitchen 66 and discovered there was an incubator kitchen mentor program for small food companies in the area. She immediately applied for their 2016 Fall Launch 1.0 program and was accepted after pitching her business idea. Kitchen 66 was instrumental in providing the resources needed to launch the confections company. New confection ideas and flavor profiles while using fresh and locally sourced ingredients will remain the forefront of Mollycoddled Hash Slinger.
