Where It All Began
Established in 2016, Candyapple & Co. began as a small landscaping business before unexpectedly growing into something wonderfully sweet. Founders Hans and Debbie Stevens built the company around thoughtfully crafted treats, creative flavors, and the joy of making every occasion a little more special.
Over the years, Candyapple & Co. has created more than 300 specialty, hand-dipped candy and caramel apple varieties, many offered seasonally or as part of a rotating selection.
In November 2025, Hans and Debbie passed ownership of Candyapple & Co. to Kerry and Beth Hamilton. Kerry and Beth are honored to carry forward the company they built while bringing new energy and ideas to its next chapter. Candyapple & Co. remains proudly Ohio and family-owned and committed to creating memorable treats made to share and celebrate.

Throughout their 30 years of marriage, they have taken on many roles, from nursing, healthcare administration, consulting, bartending, to stay-at-home parents. After raising their two wonderful daughters, they were ready to begin an exciting new chapter together as small-business owners. They are thrilled to carry Candyapple & Co. into the future and cannot wait to see how the business continues to grow.
