Of all of the joys in life, our appreciation for sweets and chocolate often goes uncelebrated. Yes, we express our love through eating, but there’s so much more fun to be had! National Candy Month presents the perfect opportunity to go all out and celebrate your love for the sweeter things in life.
As you know, we adore all kinds of confectionery here at Wholesale Sweets. So, we’re fully on board with celebrating them! Whether you simply indulge your sweet tooth with a few more of treats than normal, or celebrate with your friends and family, there’s no wrong way to express your appreciation. Here, we run down a few of the best ways to celebrate National Candy Month.
For most people with a sweet tooth, a pick n mix stand at home is the ultimate dream! With National Candy Month here, we’d say that it’s the best time to take the plunge and make your dreams come true. Not just a cup’s worth, but an actual pick n mix station! It may sound wild, but all the best dreams are.
The beautiful thing about creating your own spread is that you can have anything you want. It changes the game because you’re not just picking your favourites from what’s on offer, you’re picking your favourites full stop!
From nostalgic picks like White Mice to new and exciting gummies like Kingsway Tongue Painters, there’s no limits to what you can include. One idea is to combine your favourite of each type of pick n mix treat, that way you’ll get a variety that you love. You could also make a family mix, with everyone throwing their favourite into the mix! Whatever you choose, it makes sense to buy bulk bags of sweets – you’ll have plenty to last and get the best value, too.
With some sweet jars and bulk sweets, you can easily put together a temporary pick n mix station. We have an array of brilliant options here at Wholesale Sweets, but these Victorian Style Sweet Jars are our favourite for a home pick n mix. They bring sweetshop nostalgia and as a set of five there’s plenty of room for variety. It will be tempting to constantly dip into supplies for a little snack, but resisting will be worth it when you enjoy your signature pick and mix!
It’s understandable that we so often return to our favourite sweets and chocolate. But there is so much to try out in the confectionery universe! Wouldn’t it be great to have a new favourite?
When it comes to choosing something new, there are so many routes you can head down. Whether that’s trying a different version of your favourite or tasting the latest sweets to hit the market. If you don’t like to stray too far from what you like, try something slightly different, like the Haribo Fizzy Giant Strawbs rather than the classic. But for the fearless candy fan, you could pick a brand and treat at random and see what you think!
You could even turn the experience of trying something new into an occasion. Getting together with friends and family is always a great place to start – but it gets even better if everyone brings some sweets! Whether people bring a favourite or something completely new, sweets and loved ones is always a winning combination. Perhaps you pull names out of a hat and each bring a sweet you think that person will like! Think of it like Secret Santa, just with sweets and chocolate. And in June…
Seeing as National Candy Month originated in America, it is fitting to enjoy some of the best stateside sweets. Many of the biggest chocolate and sweet companies in the world are American, and they’re responsible for some truly iconic confectionery.
If you aren’t too familiar with American candy and chocolate, the big brands are a great place to start. Famous for their rich peanut butter-filled treats, Reese’s are a huge brand all over the world. If you love a nutty treat, then any of their products are the perfect way to celebrate.
When it comes to sweets, there are so many American options that the mind can boggle! But that does mean that there’s an option in there for everyone! If you want fruity, hard candies, then Jolly Rancher are ideal, whilst Swedish Fish are a gummy classic. If you like candy that tickles the tastebuds, then check our Sour Patch, Warheads and Sour Punch. Between them, these three brands you’ll find some incredibly inventive and tangy treats!
Candy is a big part of the movie theatre experience in America, and as a result many American sweets are available in theatre boxes – a bumper pack that lasts the whole film! Whilst there are loads of sweets at the cinemas here in Blighty, treating yourselves to an American treat is a brilliant way to shake it up. Whether you take them with you to see the next blockbuster or enjoy them during a movie night at home, it’s a fitting way to celebrate your love for sweets.
There’s an argument to be made that the best way to celebrate anything is with a party! And indulging your love of all things sweet and delicious is no different.
You can involve confectionery in the process however you like. Obviously having treats on hand is essential, but you don’t have to do all of the work yourself. A ‘bring your own sweets table’ is a wonderful way for people to try new things, whilst also ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
Pick n mix is a fun party theme idea, too. If you combine it with fancy dress and everyone came as their favourite sweets then the party would be a pick n mix! Plus, there are some really fun costume ideas – from retro sweets in particular. Just imagine opening the door to Bertie Bassett or the Milkybar Kid!
However you decide to celebrate your love of all things sweet, you’ll be able to find all the confectionery you need right here at Wholesale Sweets. With the biggest brands and the latest sweets, all available in bulk at great value, we deliver the very best of the wholesale experience to the comfort of your home.
