    so we are gonna do candy buffet- two 6 ft rectangle tables

    im thinking 20 kinds of candy.. so far i got sixteen-- silver wrapper kisses, pink valentine carmel kisses, valentine wrapped hugs, resse peanut butter hearts,rolos,orange gummi bears, purple gummi bears, hot tamales, cinanmon bears,dum dum pops,abba zaba chunks, red vines, butter scoth buttons,smarties, dove hearts, skittles.... i need 4 more kinds..

    suggestions?

    also for the valetine wrapped candy would it be bad to buy them and save them for a june wedding... i love that hersheys made carmel kiss but hate the ugly tiger wrappers.. so i saw them today and grab a bag and they are two shades of pink.. yay!

    We did a "childhood favorites" theme on our candy buffet. I think I would say that the things that went fastest were gummis like gummi worms and sour patch kids and then the super sugary stuff like pop rocks and pixi stix (we did the giant ones).

    Sorry - missed that you said Smarties.

    Nerds? I like nerds.

    I love sour gummy worms.

    Sour belts.....mmmm!

    This is a throw back to my favorite Asian favorites: white rabbits, HiChews, and Marukawa gum. =) but I do love some chocolate. lol

    Fun! We are doing a candy bar too! Since our reception is in a room that has a big Benjamin Franklin monument we are using lot time candy like button candy, mary jane's, rock candy, wax bottles, satellite saucers, rock candy, candy sticks, necco wafers, malt balls, circus peanuts, smarties, gummy bears, and candy legos.

    Anyone have any old time candy I missed?
