Ask him anything

Norman Love has won the hearts of chocolate and candy lovers all over in the last 15 years through Norman Love Confections, his Fort Myers-based Willy Wonka-esque company. The business makes at least 7 million chocolates a year, in addition to gelato and cakes. It includes a retail, wholesale and online operation.

Now Love has won the minds of thousands of Reddit users. Reddit is a social news aggregation site with a niche in user-generated content, including a popular feature called AMA: Ask Me Anything.

Love logged on to Reddit Feb. 6 with, in part, this note: “I'm chooclatier Norman Love, AM (and my guard dog Sid) A about chocolate/pastry/baking/entrepreneurship.”
