A new twist for the candy station that brides love is to“theme” it.  For example, an all chocolate candy station which would include: cookies and chocolate milk, hot chocolate (2 kinds: dark chocolate & peanut butter chocolate cocoa), cupcakes,éclairs, white chocolate truffle lollipops, salted caramel truffles and chocolate bark done in both dark and white. 

    To enhance this idea, the wedding cake can also be made featuring chocolate mousse and perhaps topped with raspberry and cocoa-colored sugar flowers.    Guests can sip demi-sec champagne like Pol Roger Rich NV because its sweetness pairs well with these dessert. 

    This candy station could be called something like: the Cocoa Cabana or Bon Bon Lounge.  Talk about a sugar high, your guests will stay awake dancing for hours.
