    The 2016 Scovie Awards judging panel of top culinary experts honored JAVA & Co. with a First Place Award in the Sweet Heat - Candy/Cakes/Pastries/Cookies category for their Spicy Habanero Caramels. This was JAVA & Co.'s first time entering the Scovie Awards. Their winning product was applauded by the judges.

    Competition for the 2016 Scovie Awards was tougher than ever, with a new twist.
