If you’re looking to create a truly unique candy lei you should give this gummy worm lei a try. While I’m admittedly not the biggest fan of eating gummy worms, I do think they make for an awesome candy lei. If you do know a gummy candy lover out there this lei is perfect for them.

Werthers are one of my favorite candies so needless to say a Werthers candy lei is a must. I also think these leis look awesome with their gold packaging. If you are looking to make a candy lei with money attached this is an excellent option.

You would be crazy to tell me people would not appreciate a gift of both sweets and money. That’s why this lei is always a perfect go-to! Whether graduating, heading off to college, or tying the knot, this lei will put a smile on anyone’s face!

The holiday season really isn’t complete without at least a few candy canes. We have them adorning our Christmas Tree every year. Most of them don’t make it past the holiday. 

I have to admit, Twizzlers aren’t my favorite candy. But I know a lot of people love them. I’m more of a Red Vines man but I didn’t have any around the house so I went with Twizzlers for this weeks candy lei. Feel free to use Red Vines though, they’ll work just as well. 

Starburst are absolutely delicious. Definitely among my top 5 favorite candies. One thing I love about Starburst Lei’s is that you can mix up the pattern to make it your own.
