Right after we got engaged, we decided that we wanted to incorporate our 2 cultures in our wedding favors, so the idea was to find some type of native Filipino wicker container and put authentic Spanish pastries or candy inside.

My cousin in Manila actually bought us 220 containers and sent them through one of our family friends that came back from Manila when we got engaged. I was starting to look into truffles to put inside them, but I haven’t really stumbled to the right vendor. I looked into homemade truffles, Dan’s Chocolates, Harry & David’s and See’s Candy and still no luck.
We also need something that would be ok to pack into the containers about a week before the wedding day, and I don’t know if the truffles will really sit well outside of the fridge. I’m thinking about using those chocolate dipped shortbread cookies but don’t know where to get them in bulk.
Since we’re trying to stick to our budget as much as possible (the budget that is probably spilling over) – we need some suggestions on what to put in our wicker containers. Do you have any ideas?
Jordan almonds are traditional and will keep well, but they’re not too tasty, in my opinion.
Maybe mints — of the hard candy variety?
