Valentine’s Day Candy Bar Display

This year, I thought it would be fun to create a Valentine’s Day candy bar. Whether it’s a party in honor of St. Valentine, or a birthday, or even an addition to a dinner with friends, why not break out the pink and gold in order to celebrate all-things-sweet!?!?

Ah, love. It’s a many splendid thing. It’s all we need. And to some… it stinks. But the day of celebrating love – *ahem* Valentine’s Day – doesn’t have to be one strictly of romance. It can celebrate the love of a sibling, a parent, or even a friend. While I am apt to occasionally roll my eyes at the cornballiest of cards sitting upon the drugstore shelves, I cannot help myself when it comes to celebrating Valentine’s Day. I will always get Mr. Suburble a card from the humor section. I usually slip a small box of chocolates into my cart for the girls. And I have been known to send cards to my friends. And why not!?!?

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-1Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-2Valentine’s Day Candy Bar Supplies:

  • Melting Candy Wafers (Pink and White)
  • Heart Lollipop Candy Mold
  • Lollipop Sticks
  • David Tutera Love Banner
  • David Tutera Pearl Garland
  • Darice Favor Boxes
  • David Tutera Gold Candy Scoops
  • David Tutera Gold Candle Stick Holders
  • Gold ribbon

First, we have to talk about these adorable lollipops.

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-3With a microwave and some candy melts, these lollipops took no time at all! I was careful to microwave only in 25-second increments (with lots of stirring in between) and because the sticks were longer than the molds, I had to trim them down a bit with scissors.

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-4My kids were absolutely dying to try them after I had set the lot of them in the fridge, but they know the Blogging Rule: take a picture first!

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-5There. They’re now granted permission to have one of these little hearts-on-a-stick.

I used these gold-rimmed coupe glasses to showcase the treats in my Valentine’s Day candy bar. Martini glasses would also be a fun way to jazz up the candy selection. A gold scoop was added to each glass and all were set atop a gold tray.

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-6I opted to put out a mix of candies. My family goes bonkers for Swedish Berries, so those had to be in there. Another safe bet is jellybeans.

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-7On the Valentine’s Day candy bar, next to the cups and adorable little paper straws, I have a few favor bags that candy can be taken home in.

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-8These popcorn bags come pre-assembled and are just the right size for a few scoops of candy. And aren’t they so sweet!?!?

Valentines-Day-Candy-Bar-Darice-9Why not wrap up your next party with a candy bar? A few glitzy touches of gold and pearls are all you need to add something special to your fete.
