Recently, a reader named Bill asked me if I knew of any customizable candies – ones you can put your own custom message or design on. I actually already had a list going of them so here is my current list:
- Personalized M&Ms: M&M’s with your message on them – I wrote about them previously. 32oz is ~$40.
- Chocotelegram – a customized chocolate message
- Sugar Sugar: Customized candy like the ones shown above. Various prices.
- Custom Candy Hearts: These are customized Valentine’s conversation hearts. Price is $230.00 for 10 pounds (about 4200 pieces).
- Custom Sticky Candy: (picture above) I can’t figure out what kind of candy these are, but they look pretty. The company is in Australia and I can’t figure out how much the customized ones cost either. I’m pretty sure just by looking that these are the same candies made for Skype that Engadget recently mentioned. (also see Suga [thanks, Nay])
- Custom Chocolate Coins: Put your logo or message on an embossed chocolate coin. Price is “as low as $0.15 each”. Minimum order of 1440.
- Choco-Logo: Your logo in chocolate. No prices listed.
- Kustom Konfections: Personalized chocolate gifts & party favors, personal or corporate – prices vary
- NameThatChocolate.com: Many different types of custom/personalized chocolate
- GoCandy.com: various sizes and shapes of customized chocolates
- Necco hearts: Your own saying on the hearts – must buy 3500 lbs(!!!)
- Personalized MyDove Chocolate candy: You can customized the saying inside of the Dove wrappers
Did I miss any? Let me know in the comments or email me. I am looking for customizable candies, not customizable candy wrappers or containers. I’ll add to the list if anyone knows of any others.
Also from here in Australia, is Suga (www.suga.com.au). I quote from their website:
“Special Orders of customised Rock Candy are made in 10Kg batches. The normal price of a 10Kg minimum batch is $350 (ie. $35 per Kg), but as a special offer, Wedding Rock will be reduced to $31.50 per Kg. ”
That’s AU dollars – $35 per kg is about $US27 per kilo. And believe me, they are worth it! So delicious, and a great variety of flavours. Also well known here in Melbourne for making the candy in front of the public – you can stand and watch them from the pouring of boiling hot liquid sugar, through the mixing of colours and flavours, and then the kneading and arranging of different coloured sticks to make the desired pattern. Then, FREE SAMPLES!!! Worth every penny :) :) :)
A show on Discovery called \”How Its Made\” just had a segment on the Sticky candies. I can\’t remember much about them, but it was cool how they made them. I\’m sure you can find more about them somehow through the Discovery website.
