Easter Egg Hunt Idea

                Spring time is right around the corner, which means we’re getting closer to Easter. Every family has their own yearly tradition when it comes to holidays. Why not start a new tradition this year? Here’s a neat twist for the classic Easter egg hunt. Make up candy apples in different colors and hide them throughout the house or outside. Then split the kids into teams (each team is the same color as one of the apple colors) and have them search for their designated team colored candy apple!

                Don’t worry, we have all the supplies you’ll need to accomplish this wonderful new game (except for the apples). The number of colors that you will use will be determined by how many kids are participating. You can always make it easy on yourself and just stick to two colors (two teams). We sell a number of delicious different Apple Magic Candy Apple Mixes - Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Grape, Lime, and Caramel. The blue raspberry, grape, and lime are perfect spring time colors for this game.

In addition to the mix, you will also need Candy Apple Skewers. These are the strong round sticks that you pierce the apples with. Don’t want to use wood? No problem, we also sell Paper Skewers. Because you will be hiding these apples they should be wrapped. Do NOT use saran wrap. It will stick to the apple and you’ll never be able to get it off. We have both Cello Wraps and Apple Bags available along with Twist Ties.

                Follow the instructions provided on the candy apple mix bags. Then wrap, seal, and hide them for the kids to find! I know if I were a youngster, this would be an amazing treat to find instead of a plastic egg with some jelly beans.

Note: Don’t make the apples too far in advance.  They will last 1-2 days. Make them the day before and store them in a cool, dry place or a refrigerator.

                From time to time people need to make white cotton candy but aren’t sure how to do it. It’s very simple; in fact it’s probably simpler than you think. To make white cotton candy, just buy a bag of white cane sugar at your local grocery store. That’s it! Just pour it in your machine and wait for the web of white floss to build up. This will not ruin your machine because traditional flavored/colored “fairy floss” uses sugar as a base with coloring and flavoring added to it.

                If you’re going to be making white cotton candy, try serving it with a color as well. It offers some fun and adds extra flavor. For instance for the fourth of July, make the white cotton candy first, then use Boo Blue Flossugar, followed by Cherry Berry Flossugar or Jolly Berry Strawberry Flossugar. (Always make the white cotton candy first so it won’t be tainted by the colors of the other flavors of cotton candy). Next put a cloud of Boo Blue at the bottom of the bag, followed by the white cotton candy with the Cherry Berry at the very top. You just made a perfect bag or red, white, and blue cotton candy!

                Because floss has so much air in it, you will never be able to get deep intense colors. It will tend to be on the pastel side. So you won’t get red- it will floss pink. (Strawberry is the darkest pink). Also, be sure to seal it tightly. Bagged floss keeps a day or two depending on the humidity.

                We have a variety of ready to use Flossugar flavors in stock. You can even make your own Flossugar for pennies by mixing Flossine Concentrate into your own sugar! In addition to that we also sell three different kinds of Cotton Candy Bags, as well as Cotton Candy Cones, Twist Ties, and Containers. We are your one stop shop for all of your cotton candy needs.
