C@ndy Buffet

Candy buffets were everywhere these past two years.

Everywhere from weddings, birthdays to even baby showers.

Which i don't mind, because if you know me,

you would know that i am the biggest Candy Whore there is.

The above and below photos are from my own Candy buffet...

My "SWEET TOOTH" Birthday party.

Here are a few things tips from planning a candy buffet.

Use clear, glass jars, vases, jugs

whatever as long as it's clear.

This shows all the colors of the candies and makes

the buffet look prettier.

Get them in different shapes and sizes ,

so it creates dimension.

I got mines at Micheal's Arts and Craft store,

they are cheaper then getting them from

a bridal store or interior design store.

I went with the giant cocktail glasses,

some fish bowls.

If you are having a color scheme,

get candies in those colors.

If your event is outside,

stay away from candies that will melt, duh,

like chocolate or yogurt covered candies.

Hard covered candies are the best,

because they come in many colors,

they are easy to scoop and less messy.

Expect to spend at least $150-200

dollars on candy or maybe more,

yes candy is pretty and may seem cheap,

but in the end it all adds up.

Each person will eat about 2lbs each.

You still want the buffet to

look full and to show there is enough candy,

so do go all out on the buffet,

i mean it is a buffet right?

Buy candy in bulk,

like in BJ's .Wal-mart always has

the best candy sells..

YUMMY. Start looking early for the kinds

of candy you want,

so you can make sure the store you are

going to will have them. Planning a

Candy Buffet should be fun, IT'S CANDY,

who doesn't love it?

Everyone becomes five all over again

when it's time to get some candy.

The kind of candies i had,

were the ones i grew up with or just my fave.

Anything from Wonka i love,

skittles, giant lollipops, Tooties Roll,

Twizzlers, Lemons Heads, Grape Head,

Gummy Bears where a big hit...lol

I also had boxed candy, and wrapped ones,

that way you do not worry about people's

hands all over the candy.

For open candies,

like the skittles, gummies..etc..use a scooper.

Whatever you do,

just make it your own, and HAVE FUN!

Here are some awesome

candy buffet's pictures i found in the web.

Because these pics are everywhere

the real credit sources vanishes,

but if you see ur pics here and want credit,

do let me know.

M&M's - History

M&M's were created in 1940 after Forrest Mars Sr. saw Spanish soldiers eating chocolate pellets coated in sugar during the Spanish Civil War, to prevent the soldiers from gaining sticky hands after eating chocolate. M&M's were first sold in the United States in 1941. By World War II, American soldiers were given the candy by the United States Army; soon after this it was marketed to the public. The candies were named for "Mars & Murrie" (Mars' business partner was Bruce Murrie, son of rival Milton S. Hershey's partner William Murrie.) M&M's soon became a hit because, in those times when air conditioning was not usually found in stores, homes, or the automobile, melting chocolate candy bars were a problem; but in M&M's, the candy's coating kept the chocolate from getting messy.

M&M's are so pretty when they are put together. Just about the only Rainbow u can really eat beside Skittles, lol, they also make me wanna write in different color fonts. M&M's World are huge stores all about these yummy candies.

One in Orlando Fla., Las Vegas and of course Broadway in NY. I want to visit them all. Oh an check those M&M's girls, aren't they the cutest?LOL.
