The Art Box - Episode 480 — A Little Happiness in Every Bite: Beep Stanton29 aug56 min

Sometimes the sweetest chapters of our lives have been quietly taking shape for decades.

On Episode 480 of The Art Box, Steve visits with Thalia “Beep” Stanton, creator of Grama Beep’s Sweets. Beep’s love of candy making began as a teenager in a friend’s kitchen and became a Christmas tradition filled with memories of family and friends. More than 50 years later, after retiring and moving to Mesquite, encouragement from the people around her helped turn that lifelong tradition into a new adventure.

We talk about learning a craft until smell and feel become as important as a recipe, starting something new later in life, supporting local businesses, giving back to the community, and the family traditions that continue to influence Beep today. Beep says making candy is more than a business, it’s a way to share a little happiness and that might just be the perfect description of this conversation.
