As many of you know, I am making chocolates this year. Truffles, peanut butter cups, cashew logs, almond joys, peanut brittle. I am thrilled. I have been searching for cool candy boxes. Any ideas? Also I am making 6 different kinds of truffles. Any ideas there. I am making three based on cocktails and three others. GIVE ME IDEAS PLEASE!!! I AM DESPERATE!!

Get candy! Get candy! I’m so excited about your candy making for the holidays! You know I would like to see a mint candy in there somewhere – especially if you won’t make me some caramel covered marshmallows.

my other comment was better. poo on lost comments.
here are my candy-vessel ideas:
1. candy cones (probably not best suited for chocolates, but cute nonetheless.

2. chinese take out boxes. those are cute, and you can find them just about anywhere these days. i think i’ve seen them at target and at craft stores.
3. the martha stewart section of michaels is so lovely. i want to put it in a blender and drink a martha stewart paper crafts shake.
anyway, she has poinsettia boxes and cookie boxes. maybe they could work!

4. is there an xpedx in orem? if not, i’ll go to the one in salt lake with you. i love xpedx and they have lots of boxes and bags. maybe they’d have something that would work.
i hope that helps!

If you find yourself in Salt Lake may I suggest Orson Gygi (www.gygi.com). This is where my grandma got all of her candy supplies.

I totally agree with Marci- we will have to check out Gygis.
I vote the following flavors:
Orange
Mint
Raspberry
Chocolate with Hazelnuts
Is Vanilla possible?
and your fuzzy Navel- ewwwww not literally but the FLAVOR FUZZY NAVEL. Ewww wait even that sounds gross as I DONT WANT TO TASTE YOUR NAVEl- Not today anyways- ask me tomorrow.
