Nature Themed Candy Buffet!

kirarae

Hey y'all!
I'm planning on having a candy buffet as the favors at my reception. The wedding is all nature themed with no emphasis on anything in particular. Does anyone know of any candies that are naturey themed? Anything you can think of that's fruit shaped or related to trees, flowers, meadows, forests, animals, etc. Thanks!

The obvious candies that come to mind are Runts, gummy Bears, Gummy worms, and Swedish fish.  Non candy items would include animal crackers, candy corn, pumpkin peeps, or pumpkin seeds.

Perhaps it would be easier to offer a cookie bar?  You can find scores of cookie cutters in a variety of nature-like shapes.

Otherwise, go to an actual confectionery or candy store and have chocolates made in a few shapes that fit your theme.

Maple candies shaped like leaves, those rock candies that look sort of like hyacinths (order in purple so they really look like hyacinths).

Oh, and skilled candy makers can do all sorts of things with marzipan.

How about rock candies?

I like the rock candy and maple candy ideas. I'd probably just got for little jars of honey. It's still edible and very "naturey." Made by nature from nature...goes with the theme.

We had a similar wedding theme, but went the route of a trail mix bar. We got various kinds of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate for people to create their own bag of trail mix. I bought brown bags (similar to coffee bean bags) for the guests to put the mix in. It was a huge hit. Not quite what you were thinking, but another suggestion
