I put the candies(buying 2lbs. candies/about 70 candies per lb./putting 3 mints per box) in small decorative boxes (bought from a local dollar store at 12pk for a dollar...but they looked expensive because they were embossed with very gorgeous designs) then put some crinkled yellow paper as filler on the bottom(from a craft store originally for filling Easter baskets attached yellow bows on the top of the boxes with hot glue, then finished the boxes with a white fabric rosette(bought at craft store for 33 cents/12 rosettes/using about 7 bunches) to cover the hot glued ribbon(bought at a fabric store on clearance for 10 cents a spool/6 yards a spool/using exactly 4 spools)in the center. It came out ridiculously cute and actually very simple to do...only like and hour and a half of manpower for about 72 boxes. I was soooo happy to spend a little bit on something that usually costs sooo much, but by doing it all yourself and spending wisely you can really achieve exactly what YOU are looking for within your budget.
Pretty Good, Not bad !

These were not too bad, Nice lemon flavor and the perfect size to go inside Favor boxes! They are also great for adding to Gift baskets as loose candy, These don't Dissolve as quickly as the peppermint soft ones but just slow enough to really enjoy the lemon flavor to lingere in your mouth !
