As competition at the World Cup steps up into the knockout round, a soccer-candy-themed party could be a great excuse to get some friends together and celebrate summer.
From stamped gumballs to an artfully crafted replica of the World Cup trophy, there’s a soccer candy product for almost any fan on any budget. My favorite is the Chocolate Football Boot and Shirt set from a UK store called Thorntons. They set up an entire section of World Cup 2006 candies. Thorntons United States shipping is steep (partly due to US FDA fees), but I’m seriously considering placing an order anyway, especially because the Cup only comes around once every four years.
For a true fan, you can drop a couple hundred bucks on a dark chocolate, edible gold-dusted trophy, also from the UK. I’d have a hard time eating something that expensive, but it’s certainly unique.
If you’re just looking for some soccer snacks for a weekend party, foil-wrapped chocolate balls are easy and affordable. Also, Soccer Lickin Clickin Pops are inexpensive and come in apple, strawberry, and blue raspberry. Each pop gadget functions as a whistle, which would definitely liven up a game and make you feel closer to Germany. Go England, or Portugal, or Argentina. . .
