The Best Party Candy

So, are you wondering what kind of candy to keep around the house for your party? Well, there is more to buying candy for a party than just loading up the shopping cart and writing a cheque! You have to consider the age groups of the guests attending, the activities that you have organized, what you are celebrating, and even the general mood of the get together. Is it a themed holiday, or just a get together? Does your candy need to follow any specific general rules? For example, displaying Christmas-style candy on the 4th of July might not look so great!

Remember not to buy hard candy if there are going to be little kids. Also, if it is a party for adults, you might rather have chocolate covered cherries than pixie sticks! Keep jars of assorted candy at the ready and filled up for your guests. If you do this though, try to keep the sweets individually wrapped, so that the flavor won’t affect the taste of the other sweets, otherwise you will end up with a whole jar of awful tasting candy.

Also, if you get jelly beans, try not to get flavors which are too weird. Try to get flavors everyone loves, for example blueberry, lemon and strawberry. Most importantly, don’t forget to consider your guest’s preferred tastes and plan accordingly. And don’t worry: most types of candy are kind of universal, in the way that everyone loves them! Remember that if you like to eat it, odds are everyone else will and if it is your favorite, odds are good that it is also the favorite of 90% of your guests as well. Everyone likes candy, so if you secure some great types for your party, everyone will find a snack to enjoy. So have fun, good luck, and enjoy the party!
