My most recent post is about a sale on some lollipops if you want to start stocking up now.
Mrs. Bee and I went to a Martha Stewart event with the most beautiful candy buffet filled with Hammond's Candies: http://www.hammondscandies.com/
Some personalized options can be found in Miss Spring Rolls's post:

Miss Kitten just wrote a post on her fruit-roll-ups!
And lots of info can be found on the wiki:

Good luck!
I'm not planning on having a candy bar, but I have seen so many that don't have anything choclate, therefore no melting! Personally, I think candy bars are cutier when the candy is not individually wrapped and just left loosely in jars. I think this creates an atmosphere of being in a candy store :)
Other candies I have heard brides use are gummy bears/ worms, gumballs, gumdrops, hot tamales; pretty much whatever type of candy you want!

I would go for non-chocolate. Like @AnnieAAA said, the presentation looks much better if the candies aren't wrapped anyway.
We are doing candy bar and I would like all of the candy to be pink so I will have to be creative with what to buy.
I love candy buffets!!! They are so cute! I like when they have all different colors, as many as possible, and the candy is loose with little scoops. Also, I think it's cute when you use as many different shaped jars and bowls as possible.
Don't forget old-fashioned stick candy, rock candy and jelly beans! They come in a huge variety of colors that are sure to brighten your buffet. :o)
What about... skittles, Mike & Ikes, gobstoppers, sweet tarts, cinnamon hearts, lemon heads, gummi bears, swedish fish
Now I am hungry!
Gummi gummi gummi! I am a fan of Haribo's original gummi bears! Not sure if you have a specialty candy store nearby, but here in ATL near me, we have a huge candy store at the Avenue in Forsyth with over FORTY different kinds of gummis (including my fave tropical fruit flavor) and alot of different specialty candies).
I would love to have the candy bracelets for the little ones!
Definitely go non melting candies. Maybe brownie pops?
Thanks for all of the help!
I think I'll be doing some gummi, rock candy pops, jelly beans, starbursts and Twizzlers. I've got time to tweak it, and I'm so excited by all of your ideas!
Sixlets would be a good option for the melting factor. They are chocolate, but candy coated so they won't melt, and the shell is a little bit thicker than M&Ms. They now have them available in a lot of different colors so you could match your wedding colors. You can but them at metrocandy.com.

I'd recommend NECCO wafers too. NECCO is the abbreviation for the New England Candy Company - perfect for New England wedding like yours! They are a great "nostalia" candy, are non-chocolate so you don't have to worry about the melt factor and come in tons of different package sizes & styles.
Be sure to hunt around online for candy deals (watch for free shipping especially, it's a huge help if you're buying bulk) and if you need any suggestions let me know - I used to manage a candy store!

Hi Bees,
We are having cupcakes for our dessert at our tented June wedding (on Cape Cod, in a family member's yard). My baker suggested adding jars & bowls of candy with scoops to the dessert table (with little bags for filling). I love this idea, but I'm super nervous about the melting factor. One idea is to chill the empty containers in the freezer before setting out. A few of the canly ideas I've thought of are:
- individually wrapped Twizzlers
- starbursts
- lollipops
That may just do it, but I wanted to appeal to you creative, smart ladies...Any other candy suggestions????
