How to Take Candy to Your Host

Rare is the host who won't be tickled by a box of sweet, decadent candies. Tailor your selection to the host's individual personality and create a festive wrap for the morsels.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Belgian Chocolates
• Sugar-free Candy
• chocolates

1. Reflect upon your host's personal style and what you know about his or her taste. Determine a particular type of candy that seems to best fit the personality. Is she the decadent truffle type? Does he adore tangy, fruity candy?
2. Visit individual candy stores such as See's or Godiva to find prewrapped candy gift boxes. Specialized confection stores carry a wide array of decadently wrapped candy boxes in all shapes and sizes.
3. Consider shopping at a bulk candy store, where you can choose an assortment of treats from bins and boxes.
4. Wrap bulk candies in individual plastic gift bags, divided tins or miniature jars. Be creative with your packaging. Stuff candies into a potting plant for a host who likes to garden, or fill a pie tin with treats to present to a host who cooks.
5. Finish the package off with a colorful bow or a hand-curled ribbon and a gift card.
6. Present the candy to your host immediately after arriving at the party or event.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider making your own candy to present as a gift. A candy thermometer and a good candy cookbook are almost all you need to create luscious treats in your own home.
