St. Patrick’s Day is a golden opportunity for candy
businesses to attract customers with fun, festive treats. Here’s five creative
ideas that are sure to bring a little luck (and extra sales) your way!
Snackle
Box – A Treasure Chest of Treats
Turn a compartment-style container into a festive
"Snackle Box" filled with green, gold and rainbow-themed goodies.
Think chocolate coins, rainbow licorice, green gummy bears and green
foil-wrapped chocolates. Add a St. Patrick’s Day tag and ribbon for an extra
special touch. This is a great grab-and-go item for families looking to treat
their little leprechauns!
Chocolate
Shot Glasses – A Toast to the Irish
Make St. Patrick’s Day celebrations extra sweet with edible
chocolate shot glasses! Decorate the rims with green and gold sprinkles to mark
the occasion. Customers can fill them with Irish cream or a non-alcoholic
dessert drink. These make for a fun and delicious party addition.
St.
Patty’s Chocolates – A Touch of Irish Magic
A themed chocolate collection is a must for St. Patrick’s
Day. Take inspiration from RCI member Fazio’s Chocolates with flavors like:
- Luck
of the Irish: White chocolate filled with Irish cream ganache.
- Leprechaun’s
Lime: A creamy lime ganache center.
- Hearts of Gold: Butter rum-filled milk chocolate with a shimmering gold exterior.
Be sure to check your local liquor laws before selling
alcohol-infused products!
Lucky
Popcorn Mix – A Colorful, Crunchy Delight
This simple yet festive treat is easy to make and hard to
resist! Mix popcorn with Lucky Charms™ marshmallows, pastel chocolate candies,
mini pretzels and festive sprinkles. Package it in clear bags or decorative
cups for a cheerful, ready-to-sell snack. Perfect for parties or a fun family celebration!
Candy
Cones – A Pot of Gold in Every Bite
Create an edible pot-of-gold by filling waffle cones with an
assortment of chocolate-covered treats made festive with drizzles of green
chocolate and plenty of sprinkles. Wrap them in cellophane with a ribbon and
label for a charming, gift-worthy presentation.
