Which Would Be Best? (baby shower favors)

[bekkiz]

I'm ordering these super cute baby shower favor boxes that look like little popcorn boxes (you know, red and white stripes) and they say "About to Pop" on them. Anyway, now I'm wondering which is best to fill the boxes with.

Which would you rather get?

ETA: By candy corn, I mean popped popcorn that is coated with some sort of candy coating NOT the orange stuff you get at Halloween!

How cute! I voted for jelly beans!

That's a cute idea. I voted the jelly bellys. Are the boxes too small for popped popcorn? Or are you using that as a snack item?

Jelly beans....Pineapple Jelly Belly's

 

[coliebird]

I think the Jelly Belly's would be a really cute idea

Has to be the "bellys" - after all, that's what is about to pop on the mommy

Other....I have to go for the chocolate. I vote M&M's, Kisses, etc...

I think candy corn is a good idea. I saw a woman demonstrate making this at ACMoore: she popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave and spread it on a cookie sheet, then she sprayed it lightly with Pam. Before the Pam dried she sprinkled it with a mix of sugar and cinnamon. Then she drizzled it lightly with melted milk chocolate (she let it drip from the tines of a fork). It was easy to make and it looked pretty!

I vote chocolate too.....hate jelly beans.
If room, I would do popped popcorn though.

I like caramel corn...and the Jelly Belly thing is cute except for the "popcorn" flavor. I am more of a fruity person. I like the PP's idea of pineapple flavor. Or maybe a mix of flavors would be good.
What a cute idea!!!

Great idea! My vote is the Jelly Belly's.. Do you know the gender of the baby? If so, you could use the appropriate color - unless of course the parents want it kept a secret..

Another one for the jelly bellys!!! BTW, I think that's a really cute idea!!!

We threw ourselves a baby BBQ for our 2nd and I made mini loaves of bread (banana, pumpkin, blueberry), and put stickers on the wrap about our little bun in the oven.

Although I love the popcorn flavored jelly belly's I don't think alot of people do so I voted for the caramel corn.

I voted for the candy corn. Although I really like jelly bellys, I hate the popcorn flavored kind.

You could also do blue and pink colored jelly bellys. The blue is mint, and the pink is cotton candy I believe.....

Well, I may finally have a solution! Jelly Belly makes a CARMEL CORN bean!! I was really in love with the carmel corn idea (even if I couldn't remember what it was called ), but DH pointed out the box isn't that big, and it would probably hold a handful of it. So, maybe the carmel corn jelly beans might be the best thing!

Thanks so much for everyone's ideas. This is one of my closest friends and the first shower I've thrown, so I want to make it great!

I'm sure it will be perfect! Try to have fun....and not be too stressed out with all the planning!
