Candy Bar, Candy Buffet, Dessert Bar, Dessert Buffet…..what ever you want to call it, candy is a hot trend for weddings!
From chocolate to sugar candies that take us back to our childhood, sweets are a “sweet” idea for favors for guests of weddings.
Psssstttt……..Okay, listen closely, I am going to tell you a secret!
Putting together an over-the-top dessert table for your wedding day can be a BIG job to take on. You can spend months doing Google searches to find wholesale candy distributors, weeks trying to guestimate how many bags of lollypops you need to fill up your apothecary jars, and days praying the chocolate does not melt in the Arizona heat before it hits your door step.
So, here’s my secret. Sweeties. Yep, one word with a whole lot of meaning. Sweeties is a family owned and operated candy store in Chandler. It’s the largest candy store of it’s kind in the state. They stock over 75,000 pounds of candy filling up their 5,000 square foot store!

Sweeties offers literally almost every candy you can think of. So for your candy buffet that’s customized around a theme or even a color they will have something that matches your theme. Candies are sold in bulk by colors and type. Basically the larger amount you buy the more money you save.

Another candy store to die for is Smeeks off Camelback Rd in Phoenix.
