A New Generation of Candy Shops Arrives in New York With Lil Sweet Treat | Eater NY
"In Bushwick, I found Eugene J. Candy Co., run by Eugene J. since 2016 as a spooky, always-Halloween-themed shop that channels his DIY punk aesthetic and background in chemical engineering; known for chocolate-covered cereals, coated Gushers, and labor-intensive candy shells, Eugene sometimes wakes at 3 or 4 a.m. to make confections and shares the process on Instagram, and he crafts signature FG Freaks (hard-shelled, bumpy balls inspired by Wonka lore) as part of a playful, Wicked-style retelling of candy mythology." - Bettina Makalintal
