Weddingbee Blog

Now that you have seen the bags we are using for our treat/candy bar, I wanted to share with you the things we have decided to include. As I mentioned in my bag blog, one of my bridesmaids’ moms has offered to spend the day baking with me a few days before the wedding to help create the candy/treat bar. I am so thrilled that I will get to spend the day with my BM and her mom and I know it will be relaxing and meaningful. I have been collecting ideas on what to include for months.

Here are the things that I know we will be making:

PROJECT: CANDY BARS

This is an easy project where we will just wrap Hershey chocolate bars.

WHAT WE NEED:

• Chocolate bars
• Paper to wrap
• Labels
• Glue dots

PROJECT: CARMEL MARSHMALLOWS

I have never done this before, but I’m not sure how hard it will be. I think we can use regular marshmallows and coat them in caramel. It would be awesome with square marshmallows.

WHAT WE NEED:

• Marshmallows
• Caramel for dipping
• Sticks

PROJECT: CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

This is simple, but I thought they would be easy to throw in the bags.

PROJECT: COOKIES!!

I would love to have some chocolate chip cookies in a jar to include! I thought we could make a big batch with yummy gourmet chips!

WHAT WE NEED:

• Recipe
• Chocolate chips

PROJECT: MINI CUPCAKES

I thought this might not be too hard. But with ADORABLE mini cupcake holders, it could be perfect.

WHAT WE NEED:

• Mini cupcake tins
• Cupcake holders
• Cake mix

I feel so lucky that my BM’s mom offered to help with this. I know it will be a fun day before the wedding putting all of this together.

Did you have any shower alternatives?
