A local candy maker says the holiday season is very busy.

Erika Dietsch-Brokamp and Jeff Dietsch Dietsch Brothers said they have to keep up with chocolate-covered pretzels.

Erika said that they get an early start stockpiling Christmas gifts immediately.

Jeff adds that they get a start on candy early too.

He said they start thinking about what candies will be needed as early as August and start on what they can.
