Summer is one of the best times of the year to soak up the sun and host an amazing party right in your very own backyard. But high temperatures can keep you from cooking up a lot of those Pinterest party foods, especially when it comes to candy.
The good news is we’ve compiled a list of some of the top sweets that work well for summer parties even when you’re fighting against the humidity. Interested in setting up a candy buffet at your summer party? Try using some of these sweets:
- Licorice. Licorice pastels are a great way to bring summer colors to your candy buffet during your party. Licorice fairs well in the summer heat and won’t melt away like chocolate will because the candy is firmer and contains salt, which helps it keep its shape for a longer period of time.
- Pan candy. Pan candy may feel more like retro candy, but it does hold up well in the summer heat. Candies such as Lemonheads, Red Hots, and Atomic Fireballs are each individually wrapped, which creates a barrier and protects the candy from the hot temperatures outside. And, because pan candy is on the harder side itself, it’s less likely to melt when you take it out of its packaging.
- Old-fashioned candy sticks. Like pan candy, old-fashioned candy sticks are also a type of retro candy that is individually wrapped and can fare well in the summer heat. They also look great in mason jars and other decorative containers, so you can use them to create the centerpiece of your candy display.
Candy-coated peanuts. Candy coatings can help to keep certain sweets from melting in high temperatures. Candy-covered peanuts and candy-coated sunflower seeds do really well in the summer and their bright colors keep your candy buffet looking bright and happy.
