Thanks! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381825 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:05:57 +0000 LindsayInNY 1381825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I would stick with pink/red-ish candies with maybe a couple orange candies thrown in, depending on how much of the color you use in the party theme. Ideas: sour watermelons, pink M&amp;Ms, pink lollipops (like Dum Dums), pink nerds, licorice, airheads, jolly ranchers... Trying to think of some chocolate ideas. Since we're near Valentine's Day, now would be a good time to buy pink candies! They should have a ton of wrapped little chocolates and whatnot in pink - like Dove, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381785 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:54:07 +0000 Lindsay05 1381785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those all sound yummy!</p> <p>I would choose Cadbury mini eggs, Dinosours, blue whales, and cherry licorice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381784 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:54:03 +0000 autumnlove 1381784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I kinda like these colors! </p> [attach=1791/14/n04kj4.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381780 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:52:42 +0000 cmomma17 1381780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hershey kisses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381779 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:52:38 +0000 dolphin 1381779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the theme. For DD's winter one-derland party we had pepperment bark, white chocolate (snow) covered pretzels, marshmallow sticks (north poles), rock candy (icicles), powdered donuts (snowballs). But if there isn't a theme, I'd go for the gummies and sour belts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381775 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:51:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 1381775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: I've had some of their stuff before! You can find it at CVS and some other stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381773 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:50:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 1381773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Colors are a theme!! I have no personal candy bar experience, I just like candy. BUT, I would definitely stick with a mix of wrapped/unwrapped (you won't need a ton of scoops that way either!) in the party colors! Do you know what they'll be? Or just colors in general (like rainbow)? I'm living vicariously through you and your candy right now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381761 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:47:01 +0000 autumnlove 1381761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: No theme for a first bday yet....I need to get on it! Maybe just colors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381753 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:45:30 +0000 HolisticMama 1381753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ADORE candy. LOL. I have really really been wanting to try UNREAL candy, but I haven't spent enough time looking for it. I will probably just order it online: <a href="http://getunreal.com/" rel="nofollow">http://getunreal.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381751 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:45:16 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1381751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one at our wedding. But I would choose Sour Patch Kids, sour jujubes, chocolate covered anything (raisins, nuts, gummies), salt water taffy and those marshmallow bananas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381740 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:41:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1381740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sixlets, peanut butter cups/peanut butter M&amp;M's, gummy bears, dove chocolates, Whoppers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381732 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:39:15 +0000 LindsayInNY 1381732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Well, personally, I love sweets. BUT if you're planning a candy bar, I would go with a mix of packaged/wrapped items for the germaphobes (and I say that in a nice way!) along with unwrapped items. Maybe avoid things that stick together or need to be touched - like Twizzlers (would have to touch unless individually wrapped), Sour Patch Kids. Also, if kids are present, maybe avoid choking hazards like gobstoppers? Are you looking to color coordinate or have any sort of theme? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381723 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:35:29 +0000 autumnlove 1381723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Good answer for a candy addict! What do you think about pixie sticks? jawbreakers?</p> <p>@Dandelion: Yeah, I am not sure about gum! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381706 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:32:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 1381706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381450 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:38:40 +0000 Ash 1381450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever is chocolate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381430 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:34:56 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1381430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do my candy bars to color coordinate so I try to find licorice, rock candy, gummies and chocolates wrapped in the color I need, plus whatever else I find that goes with the theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-candy-would-you-choose#post-1381419 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:34:12 +0000 Dandelion 1381419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, a candy bar sounds amazing to this GD lady, haha.</p> <p>Your assortment sounds good!

Maybe mini Charleston chews? </p>
