Wedding Wednesday: Love is Sweet, Have some treats from our candy bar

Gabriel has a very sweet tooth, and since we've been together, I've gotten very used to having something dulce everyday. So we decided that it was necessary for us to have a candy bar at our wedding, make that a sweet and spicy one! Hehehe.

A day before our wedding, Magi (one of my sister in laws) and I went to el mercado de dulce to pick out some mouth watering candy for the candy bar. We thought it would be a good idea to get some traditional Mexican candies, since my family and friends were coming from Canada, Honduras and USA, and had probably never tried them candy before! I also picked up some of Gabriel's favorite candies from childhood. Oh yeah, I also grabbed some cute little marshmallow cones that looked like ice cream...

The majority of the candies came individually wrapped, so we didn't have to do anything to those since they were going to be placed into large glass vases on the candy bar. Oh, and the lollipops, were just placed into oval tin cans with shredded tissue paper.

The treats that weren't wrapped individually, we packaged ourselves and put them into two large wicker baskets.

Oh yes, we also had some "rines" (ree-nez) de harina that we packed into little cellophane bags. They are like a type of chip, but made of flour, and they are so tasty with chile y limon! Yes, we did have the hot sauce ready for'em! Hehehe.

Our candy bar was a total hit with our National and International guests! :) Here is the list of dulces that we used for our candy bar...
