Simple & Sweet Favors

 

Confession, I really like candy coated nuts/ dragees.  And my favorite kind of favor for a wedding or celebration is something that one can snack on during the trip home.  Dragees have been a standby for favors for centuries and while there are all kinds of trends right now when it comes to favors, sometimes something as simple and sweet as a pretty box of dragees is the perfect touch.  A little glassine box with candy coated sunflower seeds tied with a pretty ribbon is timeless and something your guests will enjoy as a treat on the way home.  Keeping this age-old favor modern and current is all in the packaging... skip the tulle bag things and go with glassine or kraft packaging.

The nice folks at Superior Nut were kind enough to send me a sample of their candy coated sunflower seeds recently.  I don't usually do product reviews but I am always up for sharing a resource that I would actually use myself and this place fits.  Yummy! Both Dan and I would eat these by the handfuls!  And the price is definitely right.  One could easily package up simple and sweet favors or fill candy dishes for a holiday party for a reasonable portion of the budget with a couple of bags of the chocolate sunflower seeds...  Or mint lentils- yum!

Yum. I don't actually think I've ever made it to "on my way home" before I start eating these favors.

Such pretty packaging - I really love kraft paper/boxes etc.

I've never had this little treat - I'll have to try it out!
