Ino told The Sun: “The people of Canvey Island and Essex have gone crazy for my products. It’s like Candy Island.”
Top sellers include Mrs Freshley’s Oreo Brownies and berry and pineapple Fanta drinks.
He added: “My dad had a sweet shop already. He had the odd product shipped in and suggested I did it on my own. The success has been immense.”
