A man usually knows he is on the verge of a big idea if the woman in his life rolls her eyes.
Bluffton resident Vinnie Ferullo learned this firsthand a little over a year ago. While reclining on the beach in Aruba, an idea came to him to save humanity from the end of the world. With chocolate.
“Why can’t you just sit here and watch the women in the bathing suits?” Sandy Ferullo said at the time.
The retired owner of a New Canaan, Connecticut-based home-heating oil company, Ferullo ignored his wife, sipped his pina colada and turned to his lifelong buddy, Nick Monte. Monte owned a candy story in Vermont, and Ferullo enlisted his help in creating the confection that could save the world.
