By stocking up on these mints, employees can be confident that no matter what they had for lunch, they can maintain a minty fresh breath with some of these delightful pastel-colored candies.

Planning a Super Mario-themed Party with Chocolate Foil Coins and Other Fun Items

Planning a game-themed birthday party is a surefire way of having a unique and memorable celebration for your child. Make the party even more unforgettable by using a classic video game character that everyone knows and loves, Super Mario! With some imagination, art supplies, and a bunch of chocolate foil coins, you can get more than a 1-Up for your creativity skills.

There are lots of creative things that you can do to transform any room into the Mushroom Kingdom! Even better, these don’t have to cost too much. Some things you can consider include creating invitations shaped like Fire Flowers, Starmen, and Super Mushrooms; or getting a cake with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi standing on top.

Other examples for fun Mario-themed decorations include making beanstalks from green crepe paper, hanging computer-printed power-ups on the ceiling, and filling homemade coin block centerpieces with chocolate foil coins.

Daughters can have a Super Mario-themed party too! Just swap Luigi or Mario with Princess Peach or Birdo! In addition, preparing a playlist with chiptune songs for the party will add more ‘oomph’ to the fun, video game world you are planning to recreate.

By doing this, you can confidently throw a party that will stand out and be talked about for weeks to come!

Holiday Dessert Ideas: Cherry Cordial M&Ms in a Christmas Trifle

Christmas trifles are some of the most delectable holiday desserts any household can serve this season. Made with thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, and whipped cream, it’s hard to imagine anyone saying no to a plate of this treat. The best part about this dessert is that it can be served with any fruit imaginable! What’s more, you can even use candy like cherry cordial M&Ms!

When making trifles, most recipes have a layering pattern that starts with cake, fruit, and custard or a cream mixture. This is repeated until the container is full, and then topped off with a thin layer of sweetened whipped cream.

Holiday Beverages Taste Yummier with Mini Candy Canes

Aside from being yummy Christmas tree decorations and stocking fillers, mini candy canes also add a special taste to everyone’s favorite holiday beverages. Whether in eggnog, hot chocolate, or coffee, adding these lip-smacking candies can turn these rich, creamy drinks into instant gourmet beverages. Peppermint candy canes provide the perfect tongue-tingling balance between hot and cold on people’s taste buds.

When preparing hot drinks using these Christmas confections, hosts can pick between the two serving techniques: adding crushed or whole candy canes. Most of the time, it’s best to use both types to get the delicious minty kick infused in the drinks.

Simply crush a few candy canes finely and mix the powder in the drink. Next, hang a whole candy cane on the cup’s rim as a nice little garnish. Whipped cream can also be added on top of the beverage for a creamy, gourmet twist.

These minty flavor-enhancers aren’t just limited to warm drinks. With the right ingredients, they can also be easily added to create holiday versions of the martini and margarita. This way, even adults can enjoy the peppermint taste of these sweet holiday treats in their favorite cocktails.

Perfect for any Christmas beverage, mini candy canes are excellent holiday treats to stock up on this season!

The Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year, not just because of all the presents and parties, but also because of the delicious food! And nothing gets your Christmas shindig going better than sweet, mouthwatering holiday candy in festive Christmas colors.

Whether you enjoy devouring them as is, or adding them to desserts for that unique holiday twist, candies and chocolates are a staple part of everyone’s Christmas diet. The holiday season is the best time to spread kindness in other people’s lives and be thankful of the blessings we received this past year, that’s why sweet treats are really popular during Christmas.

Use colorful holiday candy as a table centerpiece, give them away in festive goody bags after your New Year’s Eve bash, or fill up the Christmas stockings over the fireplace with jellybeans, Hershey’s kisses, Jelly Bells, M&Ms, and other yummy treats from CandyDirect.com

.

There is no candy that represents the holiday season better than Hershey Kisses; even the name is festive! My favorite part about Hershey Kisses? Besides the deliciously smooth milk or dark chocolate, would have to be the amount of color options available. There are color combinations to fit just about every holiday themed party.

If you are throwing a Christmas party, pick up some bulk 5 pound bag of kisses to add to your candy buffet. They are available in Green and Silver, Red, Green, and Silver, and Red and Green. If you’re hosting a Hanukkah themed party, they are offered in Blue and Silver.

Looking to try a new flavor of Hershey Kiss? Look no further than Cherry Cordial and Candy Cane. These two flavors are sure to awaken your taste buds on a cold winter day!

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I think it’s time to discuss one of my favorite treats of all time; Caramel Apples. The deliciously sweet and crispy apple… the warm, soft and chewy caramel… and when combined…magic.

Some people think that these treats are difficult and time consuming to make. But if fact, using caramel squares and a few simple ingredients, they can be made with relative ease.

This recipe calls for the following:

• 6 apples
• 6 wooden sticks
• 1 package individually wrapped caramels
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Place 1 wooden stick in each apple,

2. Melt caramels, along with water, in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted caramels are smooth,

3. Stir in vanilla extract

4. Finally, dip each apple in the caramel and place on aluminum foil to cool.

5. Enjoy!!!

From here there are dozens of toppings and creative ways of sprucing up your apples. Whether you want to add chopped nuts or crushed oreo cookies, the possibilities are endless. And even if you love the taste of caramel apples but don’t have time to make them, then try these delicious caramel apple pops! They are sure to satisfy you caramel apple sweet tooth.
