I am thinking about doing a candy table for my daughter's communion party. I am wondering if anyone knows of any after Vday sales for any type of white candy.

Love the idea! I was thinking there must be a white chocolate hershey kiss that you should be able to get at the after Valentine's Day sale. There were also quite a few white chocolate covered pretzels that I noticed in the Valentine aisle. I would check both Target and Walgreens over the next couple of days.

White gumballs? M&MS?

Not V-day- but individually wrapped mint lifesavers are white.

Thanks! Def going to get the pretzels. I was think kisses and maybe sticking a white personalized label on them. Maybe mints, life savers, powdered donuts, Rock candy...

I think I'm going to be busy checking the stores this weekend. I never thought of mentos.

Thank you!

Birthday express, someone posted a coupon for 25% off today only and free shipping with Shoprunner, I was browsing the sight because I'm doing yellow for DD2 and they had an all white candy buffet.

Here's Candy Warehouse's white candy selection. You probably don't need this much but at least it may give you some ideas.

Could someone help me with the birthday express code?


Op: white M&m s, rock candy sticks, Hershey's cookies and cream mini bars, you could make whit chocolate crosses or lollipops.

I was so excited and came back from shopping so disappointed. I went to Michaels's and Target and couldn't find any white candy on sale! Maybe I will have better luck after Easter...

Not candy but an easy and very well received treat is sugar cookies with white glaze. Let the glaze harden. Take kitchen scissors and slice off the ends of the large size marshmallows. Stick one marshmallow end to each cookie. It just looks like a white circle. Sticks on it's own. Then pipe on a white cross. Easy peasy. Very tasty! They'll go fast and people will be so impressed!

We have bought color themed candy from amazon. The bags were pretty huge though!

I was thinking of white choc lollipops but cookies are a great idea! I'm not sure if I am that talented, though!

Thanks for the Amazon search. On going to check it out.

Try AC Moore. I was at a store yesterday. They had a nice selection of white candy (white gumballs, lollipops, m&ms etc.). They were also handing out 20% off entire order coupon at the registers.

You can also buy from Wilton. http://www.wilton.com/store/site/department.cfm?id=5343A0C8-475A-BAC0-51F9721C7F62CB85&fid=CFEFE04D-1E0B-C910-EAA7E18656E3A72D

For cookies, how about meringues? Another type of cookies would be snowballs. We really like this recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Snowballs-107453

My DD is going to have her first Communion later this year too. I really like OP's idea of white candy buffet! :)

Thanks! I should experiment with making cookies.

I may have to go to AC Moore since I cannot find anywhere w/a percent off. Here is another site that I was checking out and they have some items $5 a pound:

I also need the glass jars. I was thinking even Wine glasses and martini glasses. I was also going to go the The Dollar Tree to see their glassware.

On pinterest I searched candy table and dessert table and found some really pretty displays.

For the jars, after you have exhausted Dollar Tree, I would try Home Goods. They have a variety of apothecary jars in different sizes at reasonable prices.

I never thought of Home Goods...great idea, thanks! I was hoping to find them and mix them with the cheaper glassware.

Target has Valentines clearance ones, they're $2.69, clear glass with silver lids and a little heart handle that could easily be painted white or taken off.
