Candy Bars with a Personality!

Yes, I admit that our blog has been just a tad bit ignored with our last post being back in June of this year and we're soooo sorry :(  So, you ask...what is Yvonne's excuse for being MIA in the blogosphere? Well, this year, we have decided to take a plunge into a second sector of our business with Yvonne's Candy Bar Boutique, and boy, has this taken off tremendously!! Candy bar favors have always been a favorite of mine. I remember receiving my first candy bar favor when a close friend had a baby boy and she she gave out a "Hereheis" candy bar announcement rather than a traditional one with all of her baby stats on the wrapper in place of the candy bar's nutritional data. I thought this was so clever and one of the cutest things ever. Since then, I have made them myself as a hobby for friend and family celebrations. Now, I am proud and happy to offer them as part of our offerings to brides, moms and everyone planning a special event!

"...I have always loved "bling" ever since I can remember. I love clothes with rhinestones, I love extra-glitzy jewelry, I just love love love sparkly, glittering stuff! So, it was perfectly fitting of me to make my bars...glittery...blingy and so I decided to embellish my bars and Yvonne's Candy Bar Boutique took off!"

These are the embellished poinsettias on Yvonne's "Christmas Bar-Candy Bar."
The poinsettias on the candy bar are embellished with glitter and rhinestone centers.

What makes Yvonne's Candy Bars different? As I began making them on my own, like any other artisan, I just couldn't wait to see the final product! It takes sometime to create a batch - from the designing, to the wrapper cutting and the gluing of wrappers to the bars (in case your wondering...we wrap the foil and outside wrapper ON TOP of the already wrapped chocolate bar, so the actual chocolate is never touched).  Then when they were done, I would look at them and would still think that they were just not done, like something was missing. For those that know me personally, I have always loved "bling" ever since I can remember. I love clothes with rhinestones, I love extra-glitzy jewelry, I just love love love sparkly, glittering stuff! So, it was perfectly fitting of me to make my bars...glittery...blingy and so I decided to embellish my bars and Yvonne's Candy Bar Boutique took off! 

Yvonne's Yo Gabba Gabba Candy Bar

Yvonne's offers embellished bars for every occasion from children's birthdays, to sweet sixteens, holidays and just about everything in-between. We hand-make all of our candy bar wrappers and can custom-design just about anything for any type of themed event! We differ from other candy bar shops out there in the way that we offer the completed hand-assembled candy bar and hand-embellishments (glitter, rhinestones, ribbon and trinkets), taking the "customer-assembly required" out of the purchase. Each candy car is hand-glittered and hand embellished one-by-one with lots and lots of Tender Lovin' Care (TLC)!

So let Yvonne make a candy bar that is as unique as you are!
