Crunchy and nutty, p.o.p. buttercrunch candy is handmade in small batches on the west side and delivered fresh from the company's Santa Monica headquarters. All-natural ingredients like organic rosemary, thyme, and dried cherries come fresh from local farmers' markets. The company uses premium California almonds, pistachios, pecans and walnuts. And here's a little history lesson: The company named its candy after Santa Monica's former Pacific Ocean Park, the beachfront entertainment center of days past.
