Tucker Fish, 13, sells candy for college

[...] the Santa Rosa eighth-grade entrepreneur - he attends Rincon Middle School - doesn't let age define him.

[...] he's making candy bars to sell, because no one knows more about sweets than a kid, he says.

Under the new California Homemade Food Act (Cottage Food Law), which went into effect this month, he can make the candy in his home kitchen as long as he follows county regulations and health codes as mapped out by the legislation.

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri, who also lives in the area, has looked over Tucker's business proposal and is spurring him on.

After 11 tries and a little help from his uncle - "he's a really good cook" - Tucker has his recipe down pat.

The candy, called College Bound Bar and made from chocolate, toffee, graham crackers and a few secret ingredients, is his own invention.

Tucker has exceeded his goal of raising $3,000 through Kickstarter, a crowdfunding website, to buy ingredients and equipment.

[...] the place turned out to be a giant money pit.

[...] I really love the business and want to go to college to study it.

Do you think people take you less seriously as a businessman because you're 13?
