Candy buffet

[Robbi]

Does anyone have a link(s) to bulk candy for a candy buffet? The women hostessing my daughter's baby shower asked me and I have no idea but I thought maybe some of you might know. Thanks!

We did a candy buffet for my sisters wedding.

We got a lot of candy at Costco. We also got some from Amazon along with bags, bowls, and scoops.

Thank-you, I'll check out Amazon. We don't have a Costco near us but I will check Sam's Club.

We have a place here called "Bulk Barn". Anything you need for baking, cooking from scratch etc is in big bins and you measure out the amount you want yourself. They have at least a hundred different candy bins. Would you have something similar where you are? It seems to me there must be some place you guys have that's the same.

No, we don't have anything similar. The Bulk Barn sounds fantastic!

I also did one for conference I was working. What a showstopper! I worked with one of our local candy stores (local business) and she provided all the glassware, scoops and bags (along with our logo on the outside of the bag) for our event. In addition, she gave me table decorations and a discount on the candy I ordered through her. Our booth was adorable. We expected 300 people at our event and all of that cost us around $400. I would start with a local business owner (I love supporting local businesses). They usually want the exposure and the owner I worked with was willing to throw in all the freebees!

I bought candy at Costco and oriental trading. I am also making chocolate covered oreoes and pretzels to add to the buffet for my sisters baby shower.

Chocolate covered oreos and pretzels sound delicious.

Sounds great except we live in a small town. I might ask the local grocery store owner though.
