Graduate to Chocolate Party Favors

With college graduations in full swing and high school, 8th grade and Kindergarten graduations just ahead of us, it’s time to plan for your graduate’s celebration.  There’s practically nothing better than the proud moment you see your loved one cross the stage and get their diploma.  So, when it comes to planning the barbeque or party to celebrate, it’s always nice to give your guests a nice party favor to thank them for coming.  Trends in party favors have varied throughout the years and one of the hottest these days are chocolate favors.  There is nothing more delicious than for your guests to take home something that will not only remind them of the fun they had at your graduation party, but also provide a tasty snack for later.

There are many types of chocolate party favors that you can choose from, but here are a few of our favorites:

1)            Lollipops – these make great take-home gifts for all ages and can be made in the shape of a graduation cap or the year in different flavors and colors.  Chocolate lollipops can also be coated with nuts and/or sprinkles and come individually wrapped for convenience.

2)            Custom candy bar wrappers – from your graduate’s name and graduation year to their school mascot, custom candy bar wrappers can be personalized with whatever you want.  All of the candy bars are homemade and can be made from any type of chocolate.

3)            3-D favors – something that is a little more substantial than a lollipop with a variety of styles and shapes, 3-D party favors can be made with any type of chocolate in a variety of colors and coatings.  We can wrap them in foil or place them in decorative bags for an elegant and sophisticated touch for any party.

4)            Box chocolates – from 2 piece truffles to a four-piece sampler box, these make beautiful party favors for any type of graduation party from a formal event to a barbeque. 

5)            Hand-dipped chocolates – if you are looking for the crème de la crème of favors, look no further!  Hand-dipped chocolates are all the rage now from fresh fruits to pretzels, or even cookies.  If you are looking to impress your guests these are the must-have party favor.
