How Do You Choose Candy for a Candy Buffet?

There’s a Method to the Mix

When you're standing in front of a wall of candy, choosing what goes into a candy buffet might seem pretty straightforward. Pick some favourites, match the colours to the event and call it a day.

We look at it a little differently. After more than a decade in the candy business, we know which candies people make a beeline for, which flavours work beautifully together, what's new and worth trying, and where to find some seriously good candy.

When we build a Candy Buffet, we're thinking about the people who will actually be eating it, the type of event, your colours and theme, flavour, texture, dietary requirements and how everything will come together in the finished display. You can give us as much direction as you'd like, from a colour palette to favourite flavours, nostalgic candies you haven't had in years or something you absolutely have to include. Then we take it from there.


The Candy Should Be as Good as the Buffet Looks

We love a beautifully coordinated Candy Buffet, but our job isn't just finding candy in the right shade of blue. It's finding really good candy in the right shade of blue.

We source premium candy from Canada and around the world, so your buffet can feature the nostalgic gummies everyone recognizes alongside candies your guests may never have tried before. We’re constantly discovering new products, flavours and brands, and that gives us a pretty deep candy bench to pull from when we're building a mix specifically for your event.

Freshness matters just as much. Your candy is selected for your event, kept sealed and opened fresh for your buffet. It hasn't been sitting open in a display bin waiting for someone to scoop it up, and it hasn't been hanging around waiting for the next event.

The result is a selection that fits the look you asked for, backed by years of knowing what people will actually get excited about eating.


And Yes, We Will Absolutely Run With a Theme

We're very much in the business of gummies and candy, but that doesn't mean every jar has to be filled with a gummy.

Sometimes the best addition to a buffet is something completely different. Give us a camping theme and suddenly we're thinking about sugar-flocked, cola-flavoured marshmallows or graham cracker-flavoured Teddy Grahams. Chocolate can even make an appearance, too, if the occasion calls for it! A nostalgic favourite might be exactly what the table needs. If there's an unexpected treat that enhances the theme, we're interested.

Dietary needs can be built into the selection too! Including gluten-free and dairy-free, peanut-free and nut-free, vegan, halal and sugar-free options. We want those considerations to feel like part of the buffet rather than something that was tacked on at the end. Plus, most of our tables inherently feature a variety; just because they're inclusive of dietary restrictions doesn't mean they're lacking in flavour!


You Give Us the Theme. We Assemble the Candy.

You don't need to know exactly which candies belong in every jar. That's our job.

Tell us about the event, the people coming, your colours, your theme, dietary considerations and anything you already know you love. From there, we can bring together the familiar favourites, premium finds, international candy and completely unexpected little additions that make the whole thing feel like your event.

After all, you hired candy people. You might as well let us show off a little.
