Patsy had a dream inspired by his taste buds to create the best candied popcorn and confections he could, which he sold at local fairs and various events around Terra Haute, Indiana. Legend has it that Patsy crafted a caramel popcorn recipe so good he traded it in a gambling bet to two brothers who infamously started a company called Cracker Jack that's still sold to this day in nearly every professional baseball stadium around the country. Due to health reasons Patsy moved out west to Colorado and settled in Manitou Springs, Colorado at the foot of Pikes Peak in 1903 and started Patsy's Candies where we still make our candies with his famous recipes today.
