««Food and music were the only things I ever wanted to do» is the way Mackenzie Colt explains how she went from being a "Hee Haw Honey" to owning her own candy business. "I grew up in a family where no one cooked. Sunday dinner was about the only homecooked meal we ever had, so when I got married at fifteen, I started reading cookbooks like they were novels," said Mackenzie. "Once I learned to cook, it was time to start experimenting and making up my own recipes." One of those made-up recipes became the now famous Colt's Bolts, the best selling product of her candy company. Mackenzie's father was a professional baseball player with the St. Louis Browns. She was born in Memphis when her family moved there for her dad to manage the Memphis Chicks, a semi-pro baseball team. A short time after her birth, her family moved back to St. Louis where she spent her childhood years.
