Candy Salad

I’ve got a sweet little treat for you on this hump day! You may have seen this trending on social media but as a candy lover I really had to try this for myself. I could literally skip any dessert — I don’t care about cake, cookies, ice cream, pie — sure, they are fine and I will eat them but I have no problem turning them down.

Offer me some candy and I am all in though. I like chocolate but give me some fruity, sour gummy candy and I am your girl. When I saw this Candy Salad all over social media I thought, that is a trend I can get behind so I headed to Walmart to grab some Valentine’s Candy and make my own.

Since we are a week from Valentine’s Day it was a little hard to find holiday specific candy but I found some and grabbed some extra pink and red candy to fill in and let me tell you — I am glad I did this but, I should not have. It is so good an addicting and I am about to eat way too much of it.

Here is what I grabbed and used:

• Nerd clusters

• Black Raspberry Sour Patch Hearts

• Sour Jolly Rancher Chews

• Red and Pink Mini Starburst

• Mike and Ike Conversation Hearts

• Trolly Sour Hearts

The fun part is that you can literally grab any candy you want. I highly suggest getting some sour, some not, different textures and sizes, it makes grabbing a handful fun as you eat the surprise next candy! 😉

If you try it let me know what you add to it, I would love to make this again with regular candy Easter candy too!
