| CANDY BUFFET - Tips & Tricks |
 |
The greatest concern for many people doing a candy buffet is to figure out how much candy to buy. Your sweet table will look unattractive if your jars look empty because you didn’t get enough candy; and on the other hand, you risk having a lot of leftover if you get too much. Candies are of different sizes and weights, making it difficult to visualize how much candy a bag represent. There is however an easy way to calculate per type of candy, how much is needed to fill your candy jars. First you’ll need to read our tips on 'Candy Buffet - How Much Candy Do You Need To Fill Your Glass Jars’. Once you have measured and recorded the capacity of each of your jars, you’ll be able to easily select your candies, and the quantity required to fill each of your jars. Below is a chart of the top candies use for candy buffets with the weight format they are available in, and its equivalence in terms of measuring cups. Equipped with the result of your jar capacity measurement, select and assign a type of candy for each of yours jars. To save on the cost of your candy buffet, assign small, heavy candy such as Jelly Belly to fill your smallest jars; and assign bigger, lighter candy such as salt water taffy, to fill your largest jars. The same chart is also helpful to calculate how much candy to buy for your wedding favours. Simply fill up your container with water or rice, and pour into a measuring cup to find its filling capacity. Multiply that value with the number of favours you need, to get the total amount of cups required. Refer to the chart to find the equivalence in kilograms that you will need.
