“Skinnygirl Candy fills a void in the sweets industry, giving candy lovers a permissible and well-deserved indulgence,” said Pieter De Haan, President, Rivo. “It’s not only portion controlled to eliminate guilt, but made using only the best premium ingredients so you can feel good about satisfying any sweet craving.”
