"Eugene J. Candy Co. is a candy shop located in Bushwick, New York City, run by Eugene J. since 2016. The shop has a Halloween theme and is known for its unique handmade candies, such as chocolate-covered cereals and coated Gushers. Eugene, who has a background in chemical engineering and DIY punk bands, creates candies that are labor-intensive and shares the process on Instagram. His shop is influenced by his experiences in Berlin and New York, and it aims to bring back the magic of candy to customers." - Bettina Makalintal
