Two friends mix Ghana street sweets with Wisconsin warmth at their Fox Valley candy shop.

When Yaw Asare shared his childhood favorite nkatie cake with Orson Fournillier, it sparked more than friendship. Now their Fox Valley candy shop transforms this Ghanaian street treat into smooth-biting, nutty brittle that's winning Wisconsin hearts. It's just the beginning of their mission to share West African flavors with their new home.
