Flaherty’s Candy blends Irish heritage into winning recipes 

What began as a “side gig” in Joy Flaherty’s kitchen has transformed into a full-fledged business that has outgrown her home and become a big part of her life. 

Some 20 years after Ms. Flaherty – along with her husband Dennis Flaherty – made their own client holiday gifts using his Irish family’s favorites, the couple have turned their passion into Flaherty’s Irish Candy Co.
