Throwing Candy, Not Shade: The Ultimate Guide to Parade Sweets

Mar 7th 2024

Ah, parades! A vibrant mix of marching bands, floats, and...candy flying through the air? Yep, tossing treats to the crowd is a beloved tradition, and selecting the perfect parade candy is an art form. Fear not, fellow revelers, for Blair Candy is here to guide you through the delightful (and delicious) world of parade handouts!

Choosing the Best Parade Candy

First things first, not all candy is created equal for the parade battlefield. Here are some key qualities to consider:

  • Weather Warriors: The sun is relentless, especially during outdoor celebrations. If your parade is being held during hot weather, avoid melty treats like chocolate bars or chocolate-filled candies. Opt for sturdier options like TaffySkittles, and Tootsie Rolls that can withstand the heat.
  • The Unbreakables: Picture this: you toss a candy with gusto, only to hear a disheartening thud as it collides with the pavement in a sugary mess. Nobody wants that! Steer clear of fragile candies that might shatter mid-flight.
  • Individually Wrapped Classics: When it comes to parade candy, popularity reigns supreme. Think about the sweet treats that elicit cheers and wide smiles. Classics like Tootsie Pops and Bazooka Bubble Gum are perfect picks.  And don't forget, all the candy you toss at the parade should be individually wrapped!

Remember, it's all about spreading joy and creating a memorable parade experience.
