New York (CNN Buisness)A Canadian candy company is offering a very sweet gig.

Candy Funhouse, an online retailer of confectionery treats from chocolate bars to gummies and licorice, is hiring for a $78,000 a year ($100,000 Canadian), work-from-home job as its Chief Candy Officer.

He noted that he's been surprised by the number of "golden ticket" themed applications and the elaborate videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and salary.
