The candy bar candy came in!
And I realize it was not a good idea to plan so far ahead (two weeks) because now I have all this amazing candy just SITTING in my study. Oh, goodness!
I got all my candy at Candy Warehouse. TIP – when you’re ordering, if it’s hot on the day you want to place the order, they will advise you get the candy shipped to you faster so no heat damage happens. Well, to do that would have cost me (from California to Chicago) $175 EXTRA! No way! So I waited until the next day when it was cooler and ordered then.
Okay, candy:
I picked out my candy sticking to a color scheme (red, light blue, pink, orange, mint green) and the general nostalgic vibe. Some (like the lollipops) have all colors, but those will just color-up the candy bar and be fun to look at! I also decided against chocolate, knowing full well what it’s like in Southern Indiana in the middle of July.
A – Marshmallow Cones
B – Taffy
C – Sour Twists (because my friend Mike said no candy bar is complete without something sour)
D – Candy Buttons
E – Cherry Hard Candies
F – Rock Candy
G – Wax Sips (which I also got more of at Oriental Trading when I placed an order for trinkets)
H – Circus Peanuts (my sister tried to convince me to not get these “ew” candies, but I know many who like them! … like me)
I – Candy Sticks
J – Mini Lollipops (coupled with bigger ones from Oriental Trading. This is going to be fun to set up!)
K – Satellite Wafers
L – Unicorn Pops
If I can find bubble gum in my colors in Chicago or my home town, I’ll be getting those as well. Candy Warehouse only had an 850 count option. Definitely do not need that many!
I am SO EXCITED to put this candy bar together! I hope I can take pictures before it’s completely eaten up!
