The Candy Man—Mark Jacobson The Candy Man presented a chocolate melting and dipping program at our library last year. I marketed this as a YA program and it was one of my best attended programs to date. You can’t go wrong with a program that involves chocolate, and the teens walked away with a box full of chocolate-dipped fruits, pretzels, etc. My only concern: Mark spent the first 15 minutes of the program discussing his life and how he became a candy maker. Librarians might want to encourage him to cut this down to 2-3 minutes, especially for younger audiences, and to discuss only the parts relevant to his candy-making career.
