A candy necklace is a necklace made by stringing candies onto a ribbon, elastic, or thread. It can be worn and eaten, and is often made with dry and stable candy like Necco wafers. Commercially produced necklaces are tied with rubber bands to prevent choking. Homemade necklaces require string, a needle, and an assortment of candy. Some people even include cookies or use licorice as a string. Adventurous creators can use chocolate, candy paste, and sugar cane to make an elegant necklace.
A candy necklace is a necklace made by stringing candies onto a ribbon, piece of elastic, or thick thread. In theory, someone could both wear and eat the necklace, munching on interesting bits until all that was left was the core of the necklace. Many candy stores sell candy necklaces with a wide variety of candies attached, and it’s even possible to make your own at home. On Halloween, the candy necklace is often on offer in candy bowls.
Commonly, the candy used in a candy necklace is relatively dry and stable, ensuring that it does not melt on the wearer’s body and clothing when the necklace is worn. Paste candy like Necco wafers are common choices. Of course, you can also use other types of candy in a candy necklace, like peppermints, gumdrops, and so on, though you run the risk of making quite a mess.
When candy necklaces are commercially produced, they are often tied with rubber band to help reduce the risk of choking, as the necklace will expand or break before choking someone. The necklace is intertwined with candies that have been fashioned into rings or other shapes that are easily threaded and then individually wrapped for sanitary reasons and to make the necklace easier to handle during the shipping process. The recipient of the necklace can unpack it and wear it or just eat it, depending on personal taste.
If you want to make a candy necklace at home, you’ll need something to string the candy onto, like ribbon or string, along with a large needle and an assortment of candy. Many people use large plastic needles to make candy necklaces because it is difficult to injure yourself with such a needle. Some good candy choices might include candies that already have holes in them or candies that are naturally dried. Gumdrops and such can be used, but you may want to stay away from the chocolate, as it will melt quickly.
Some people even include things like cookies on their candy necklaces or use a string of licorice as a string. Either way, the candies can be strung onto the necklace in any order or pattern desired, then the necklace can be worn or given as a gift. If you make a candy necklace with especially sticky sticky candies, you might want to skip the stage to bring.
If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can create a candy necklace that wasn’t designed to be worn at all, using chocolate, candy paste, and sugar cane to create a dainty, elegant creation that’s likely to be greatly appreciated by the recipient.
