Amidst all the scattered things you have to think about during the holidays, we bet you’re a little ambivalent about baking. And think of these things you have to do: buying presents, wrapping presents, putting up your tree, decorating the tree, decorating the house, preparing dinner, maybe throw in some snow shoveling… The point is that you’re probably wondering if baking cookies on top of all that is even worth it. The answer to that is, well, of course it is.

It’s basically not the Christmas season without cookies, and even though baking does take some time and effort, it’s for a really, really good cause, which is feeding the masses of your family and friends with mouthwateringly delicious holiday cookies. So here’s some help with that to make things a bit easier this winter. First get some Hershey holiday candy as a base for your cookies. Then follow this easy recipe. You’ll need: two sticks of butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, two eggs, 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and two cups of Hershey’s chocolate chips (any kind you want!)!

First, heat your oven to 375 degrees F. Use a mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until it’s all creamy. Then add eggs and continue to mix. Separately, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and then add it to the buttery mixture. Then add in your Hershey’s chocolate chips. Use a teaspoon to form cookies on a cookie sheet.

Then just bake them all for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned. Oh, and enjoy the roughly 60 cookies this recipe makes! For all Hershey holiday candy, shop BlairCandy.com.

Come on, who doesn’t love a cute little Pez dispenser, especially when it’s themed as some of your favorite fictional characters or for the holidays? The thing that’s always made Pez dispensers special is their good old uniqueness. The dispensers themselves are like toys, and you lift their heads up and take delicious sugar candy tablets from their necks. When the candy is gone, you can refill the dispenser or keep it as a collectible. We’ve all had a lot of fun with these over the years, and now we’re bringing to you these seasonal Pez dispensers in loveable Christmas characters!

Each box of these you order from us contains 12 individually wrapped Pez dispensers, with candy included in each dispenser. So who do you get in the packages? Well, you get a delightful snowman, reindeer, Christmas dog, and, of course, Santa Claus himself! These will all make excellent stocking stuffers or just little gifties for kids and adults alike, as no one can say no to a fun Pez dispenser, particularly during a holiday time of year.

These Christmas Pez dispensers remind people that some things don’t have to go away and be “of the past.” Pez hasn’t gone anywhere. You can still enjoy it all, right here. Get a box or two of these adorable Christmas Pez dispensers. Blair Candy is a noted retailer of wholesale Christmas candy, so you know you can depend on us for all your bulk candy needs.

Here at Blair Candy, we’re proud to offer not only delicious candies for every conceivable occasion year round, but also fun candies. Being that we are well into the holiday season now, we want to do everything we can to make this special time of year enjoyable for you, and one of those things involves offering you supplies for your very own gingerbread houses!

You know the story on gingerbread houses, right? They’ve been part of Christmas culture since forever, are absolutely adorable, and are totally fun to make (and eat!). The gingerbread itself is of course a scrumptious delight, but what makes each gingerbread house special are the ways you decorate yours, and no two houses are exactly alike.

A gingerbread cottage kit from Wonka will get you all set up with your house, but regarding the decorating: why not try some marshmallow charm bits? These aren’t big, fluffy marshmallows like you would use for s’mores. Instead, they’re small marshmallow pieces like you find in cereals. The bits come in an assortment of bright colors, perfect for attaching to your gingerbread house with icing. Don’t be afraid of going overboard with them: these marshmallow bits are small, and you’ll want a bunch of them on there so you can eat them all later on!

Marshmallow charm bits are a great Christmas candy in bulk to get this season for your cute little gingerbread house. For all our bulk holiday candy, visit BlairCandy.com.

Starting usually sometime in November, you can find red and green, the traditional colors of Christmas, pretty much everywhere. They’ll generally be in the form of decorations or lights on people’s houses, small trinkets inside the house, or on ugly Christmas sweaters.

But have you ever thought of decorating your house with color using candy? Hey, candy has plenty of colors to go around, too (we’ll get to the lovely bright colors of marshmallow Easter Peeps next spring!). For this particular post, we’re recommending you go with red and green M&M’s in bulk, perfect for Christmas! Pour a bunch of these into bowls and place them strategically around the house so they catch the eye as being much more than just a candy: they’re also a decoration!

But of course, you won’t want to go through these delicious milk chocolate M&M’s too fast. That means you’ll also have to bake them into cookies for enjoying later! Who doesn’t love a good M&M cookie, especially at the holidays? Imagine red and green M&M’s sitting inside a golden-browned sugar cookie. We’re getting ourselves hungry!

So let red and green M&M’s in bulk handle your interior decorating this year. And for more Christmas-colored candies, visit BlairCandy.com!

When you’re looking to be different with your holiday enjoyment, you have a lot you can try. Old-timey decorations for the house are always nice. Classic older ornaments on your Christmas tree will work, too. But how about for your holiday snacking? How can there be old-time food, you ask? We know all about that!

If you want old-fashioned Christmas candy, look no further than Blair Candy! One item we’d like to highlight here is old-fashioned sugar corn by Molstoller’s. This pink and white popcorn isn’t like the normal snack you’re used to. It’s covered with a thick layer of sugar and is harder than standard popcorn. These features make it a most unique holiday snack and definitely one you could qualify as “old fashioned.” After all, this snack belongs to a simpler time, before people started eating all the massively commercial candies of today.

If you’re looking to stand out this Christmas, or even if you just want to chow down on some different snacks this year, check out old-fashioned Christmas candy like the pink and white sugar corn we mentioned. This absolutely delicious treat is just waiting to be added into your candy rotation. For more nostalgic Christmas sweets, visit BlairCandy.com!
