The Enduring Candy Bar

Posted by Katie Hatch, Style Director

Last night, I was talking with a friend about the new Snickers ads—you know, the ones with all of the plays on words, like "Snacklish," the name of the new snack-centric language they've invented—and it got me thinking about the candy-gram signs from my youth. A classic? "For my Big Hunk, I will love you Now & Later." (If you want to send one, check out this great selection of verses). This is all just to say that candy bars have pretty enduring appeal, and they're super easy to personalize; just re-wrap them in papers or scraps of fabric to coordinate with your wedding theme, monogram, or color palette. I went back into the MSW archive and found one of my favorite iterations of this idea:

These are simple candy bars covered in sweet wrapping papers. Of course, their slimmer size makes them a bit more interesting, too. And your standard bars will always work, but imagine your guests delight (sheer ecstasy, I'm guessing) if you wrap up one of the BonBonBar's handmade chocolate bars. (They offer bulk discounts and are open to special orders.) I'm a big fan of the caramel nut bar

and the orange candy bar, with its combination of pecan nougat, orange blossom-infused caramel, and dark chocolate:

So, are any of you considering re-wrapping a chocolate bar?
