We're going to have a candy bar and I'm making small chocolate boxes for everyone filled with little candies (by chocolate boxes I mean boxes made out of chocolate) I did my first test batch last night and they came out pretty good. I'm going to be using white chocolate and red colored candy melts for the wedding, these are just my tests.

Here's the small box closed...

and here is the small and large boxes together (not really very large it's only 1 1/2 " tall and 3" wide)

I forgot to mention, I'm probably going to fill the LOVE and little heart on the top of the large box in with red chocolate and the rest will be white

I bought the molds on ebay. There are a ton of different styles, I even have small football boxes to make for the guys and I'm thinking about buying a couple other styles (there's a really cute one that looks like a tiered wedding cake with a little bride and groom on top) Just go to ebay and look up pour box molds

Whoa, those are cool! I was thinking to myself, wow she must be spending a lot of money on those!! That is great you can make those yourself, they look great (and tasty if I may say so!)

[MrsKittyManes]

What kind of candy do y'all think I should put in them? The small ones are 1 inch tall and 1 3/4" at the widest part and the "large" ones are 1 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches at the widest. I was going to do kisses but I'm pretty sure they're too big. Maybe some of the kissables?

[KMS]

Kissables would be adorable in there! Or maybe some of those creamy little mints - http://www.bulkfoods.com/pictures/2685.jpg

After looking at those, I want chocolate so bad and I'm not even pmsing! What about m and ms in your colors?

Ooh yeah that would be cute! M&Ms actually come in 22 colors and you can order any of them on their website.

I believe you can also get them monogrammed. One of my friends did this and it was actually pretty reasonable.

You can also try your local candy stores. We have a Candyopolis at one of the malls aound here, and they had them for WAY cheaper than the M&M website. I tried to find the website I ordered them from, but couldn't. I'll keep looking though. If I find it, I'll post it for you! :D

Yeah, unfortunately nowhere here in or even near our town has them so we'd have to order them online :( I just wanted to give a heads up because many people don't even know about the other colors if they haven't been to one of these stores.

That stinks! I did order them from the M&M website, too. They arrived in really good condition and they came packaged in a little "cooler-thing" with an ice-pack. And they were pretty yummy, too! I got a lot of compliments on them!
