We use candy in so many different ways. Whether it’s a gift for a friend, something to show off at a party or just a sweet treat. But, why stick with something commonplace and well… boring?

There is a wealth of options out there, especially as sites like Etsy are getting more common and more popular.

The Etsy store lists these as wedding favors, and I would tend to agree, as they look perfect for that occasion.
