What’s this moustachey-looking thing in my bag of Emperor Norton?


To answer that question, first let’s talk about The Captain’s Secret ‘Stache. Captain Sugar Bugs, the mastermind behind our delicious caramels, likes to keep things exciting by whipping up a little special something here and there; something different from our standard offerings.

Two months ago we offered The Mother Lode. We used our lowest-glycemic, most nutritious Bold-Fashioned recipe as the base caramel and topped it with a big dose of raw, organic cocoa nibs. Widely considered to be a superfood, no less! We like to think it’s as close to a health food as you’ll get in a piece of candy. This caramel has been so popular that we made another tiny batch and still have some in stock (for now).
This past month, we created The Emperor Norton. Like the Emperor, himself, it’s pretty nutty! This yummy chew also uses our Bold-Fashioned caramel as the base and is infused with a touch of cinnamon and a lot of raw, California walnuts from a local family farm.
So, in honor of the Captain’s Secret ‘Stache, we’ve included a bonus “beerstache” in each and every bag! This is a versatile ‘stache that can be attached to the mouth of any bottle (water bottles, beer bottles, soda bottles, etc.) to add a touch of class to every sip, all compliments of yours truly, Captain Sugar Bugs!
Enjoy your ‘stache responsibly…
