Favors -Check!

I just ordered 240 Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolate Candies for my favors. They are one of my favorite candies. FI's grandma always buys them for me for special occassions (Christmas, Easter, birthday, etc). I'm trying to decide if I want to buy little truffle boxes to put them in or use organza bags.

The candies cost me $94.49 including shipping. If I decide to do the boxes they will cost me $1.06 per guest (not including ribbon to wrap around the boxes).

The candy buffet was just too expensive. I had 6 candies picked out and was already up to $350. $350 was my maximum spending limit.  Since I'm way under budget I might even order a bag of the m&m's that FI was wanting. :) Not sure yet.

    Nice!  Sounds delicious and going under budget is a huge plus.

    I was thinking the boxes would probably look better too! Thanks for helping me make that decision. :)

    Those are my absolute favorite candy and I also get them for every holiday, and sometimes FI gets them for me just because.  I think the boxes would be cutest.  Where did you order them from?  We were considering getting them for favors as well and that sounds way cheaper than the prices we have found.

    I would go with the boxes.  Not sure where you are thinking of getting them but Michaels has them 100 for under $20 regular price.

    I actually found them from a bulk candy seller on ebay: ddmcandy. I do believe I bought the last 240 count and now they just have a 480 count left at $150.99 plus shipping. I'd day save them as a favorite and see if they offer the 240 count again if you don't need the 480 count or send a message asking if they have a 240 count available.
