What do birthdays, school parties, Halloween, weddings, Valentine’s Day, corporate events and movie nights have in common?

CANDY.

With the onset of school starting, I’m always reminded that school parties will be here before you know it. To get a jump on my school party planning I was looking on Pinterest at some school party ideas and kept coming across these creative uses of candy.

Candy is not only for kids these days, but adults too. I just might have to renew my vows just so I can have another wedding reception WITH a candy bar. From delicious treats to gifts to take-home goody bags, candy still puts smiles not only on young faces, but some older faces too. Party on like a 6-year-old again and enjoy!
