Day Dreams Top 10 Nostalgic Candy Treats
You caught me I am a child of the 1980’s !!! Everyone has different childhood candy favorites. My Mom would say: Mary Janes, Mallo Cups, Bit O Honey. I can spend hours listing all the wonderful and sometimes pretty horrid (only a kid could love) candy that reminds me of my childhood & don’t even get me going on 80's movies. It’s so fun to reminisce and keep cherished memories alive. Nostalgic candy makes for a wonderful birthday custom candy buffet. Turning 30 soon? The list below would be the buffet for you. My fiancé is turning 30 this year and I think it would so amazing to create a Day Dreams back in the day custom buffet with all his favorites from childhood. What takes you back? Here is my list:
10) Bonkers~ Yummy!
09) Pixie Sticks ~ sugar in a tube who would of thought a kid would love that !
08) Good N Plenty ~ Reminds me of my Dad.
07) Big League Chew ~ I still smile when I see this gum.
06) Candy Buttons ~ So cute for a baby shower candy buffet.
05) Candy Cigarettes ~ the 80’s were quite different times .
04) Sugar Babies ~ if you had a loose tooth this would do the trick.

Feeling like kids in a candy store
Welcome to Day Dreams Custom Candy Buffets blog. We are so happy to enter the wonderful world of blogging. For two sisters who grew up in a candy store the fact that we have entered into the candy business is no surprise. The suit and tie 9-5 life seemed the natural way to go out of college but with all this bottled up creativity we were starting to go crazy. We feel so blessed to now have an outlet for all of our ideas and we hope that we can bring sweet treats to all of you. We have found our passion and there is no stopping us. You name your event and we will create a custom themed one of a kind candy buffet for it. We do it all from elegant weddings, over the top corporate events, whimsical baby showers, nostalgic birthdays to wild and crazy bachelorette's. You day dream it and we will bring it to life at your next big event.It's funny some people say everything happens for a reason. We tend to agree and would like to say thank you to our hard working super woman of a mother. She taught us to be strong woman and follow our dreams. We would not know so much about candy and business if not for our childhood spent with her watching & learning as she ran a successful cake and candy store all while raising 8 children. So today is a special day for us, perhaps we celebrate with a few of our favorite candy treats. Thank you for reading and please come back again. ~Have a sweet day dream ~
