General Info:

The Moon Rocks Story: Over 40 years ago my mother Cynthia Rae - (Mama Moon Rocks) was a single mother who worked 3 jobs and put herself through culinary school. While in school she complained to her professor that there were no chocolate chip cookies that tasted the way she wanted them to. He challenged her to create her own as a learning exercise. This is where the "secret recipe" was born. The unique flavor and texture are truly out of this world. This recipe more than proved that baking was truly my mother's calling. After working so hard and producing this extraordinary product you can imagine the disappointment when, as a new graduate, she was not able to find employment in the field. In all honesty it was a different world then and women did not have the opportunities that we have today, she was told again and again - "you're a woman, they don't bake". This was one of my mother's greatest disappointments in life. My whole life my mother has been telling me that we needed to make Moon Rocks, that the world needed them. : ) I have watched for years as our friends and family go absolutely crazy for these cookies. Wherever the cookies went, joy and happiness followed!! Shortly before my 50th birthday last year, I decided it was time to share the Moon Rocks love with the world. At 50 & 75 my mom and I set out to spread the Moon Rocks love and live her dream. Here we are 16 months later with an adorable little store front and our own kitchen. We help new bakers get started by renting our kitchen to them at a substantial discount and give them any guidance we can to help advance their businesses. We are very excited to be a part of our New Haven county neighborhood. All our tips and 10% of the sales of the local artists that have items displayed in our store go to support local charities. We need to do well - everything we own is in Moon Rocks but we can do well by doing good. All the boats rise together with the tide. Dreams do come true if we put actions behind it. In the store we have a dream wall where we tell this story and ask others to put their dreams on our wall. Words have power and at 50 & 75 if we can live our dream so can everyone else...............
