Family comes first & chocolate comes second! - Cheryl Salto
We’re back in my cozy living room with the fireplace roaring for another edition of The Story Behind Her Success. In the spotlight, a registered nurse and mother of two who makes chocolate treats all day long in her home kitchen, for special occasions. Check out Cheryl Salto’s yummy chocolate delights here: www.candyundercover2.com/shop. Her entrepreneur story started back in 1998 with her original company, Candy Under Cover. The small, home-based business took off like a rocket and Cheryl was able to sell it for a nice profit. These days, she’s renamed the business Candy Under Cover 2 and word about her creations continues to spread far and wide. In 2024 she took home the gold medal in the Best of the West contest and even placed holiday orders from the Boston Celtics! Although her husband kiddingly calls her Willy Wonka, Cheryl is determined to find a healthy balance between making chocolates, and savoring life. Says Cheryl: “Family comes first, and chocolate comes second.” Admittedly frugal, she explains in this interview that her initial investment in the business was small. “Some people want to go big. I wanted to stay small. It’s always been me, using my own pots and pans. If anything costs me an arm and a leg, I’m not doing it.” For down to earth advice about what matters most in this life, success as an entrepreneur and the sustaining power of faith, just hit that download button. #chocolate #smallbusiness #homebusiness #entrepreneur #RN #faith
