Buttermints

Clark Barlow founded Buttermints using a modified version of his grandmother's recipe, which replaces corn syrup with blue agave sweetener. Early batches failed at a rate of nine out of 10, prompting Clark and his team to adjust what they could control, including room temperature, humidity levels, and sugar brands, before achieving consistency with their eight-pound batches. The company now produces buttermints, banking on ingredient quality and flavor range to distinguish the brand in a market
