Hey! I'm "Big Perky" the creator and owner of Perks Fruit Candy! We've (Perks Fruit Candy and I) have had an interesting yet positive journey over the years.
In June 2017 I BEAT CANCER! During my battle with cancer I entered a deep depression and realized staying depressed wouldn't get me healthy. Apart of my path to remission included going vegan for 10 months. As a avid foodie transitioning from eating meat to vegan wasn't the easiest, so I heavily relied on fruits and candy in between meals. Starting as a hobby in February 2018 with just fresh kiwi and grapes as the first ever fruit candy I made but only enjoyed among my close friends and partner at the the time. Later in 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and leaving a 6 year relationship I had a lot of free time and another yearning to feel real happiness and self-love. With that free time, I began making fruit candy again. On January 2, 2021, I launched @INeedAPerk or Perks Fruit Candy and immediately went viral on Tiktok and Instagram. Using my exclusive and irresistible candy sauce recipe to coat fresh-picked, organic fruit has started a viral sensation and since sparked a fruit candy trend. Known as the originator, and creator of the fruit candy trend, I am grateful you are here, whether to shop, learn more or just be inspired. Thank you for your support!
Remember good things come to those who wait, and dreams come true for those who chase them!
