Bulk candy makes your Christmas baking even sweeter

Prepare your pantry for the holiday baking frenzy with bulk candy.

Bulk Candy For Holiday Baking

It’s time to start stocking the pantry with holiday backing essentials. Sure you’ve got flour and sugar and salt, but if you want to bake the best Christmas cookies, the ingredient you really need to stock up on is candy. Don’t be caught without the bulk candy you need to make the holiday merry and bright. Our complete guide to candy to stock up on for Christmas baking will help you check off all the essentials. And we’ve even collected some great recipes to use them in.

Candy Canes

Candy canes are a Christmas tradition. You’ll probably have some in your tree or give some out as Christmas party favors. But you can bake with them too. Crush them up to make chocolate peppermint pretzels or mix them up in some peppermint bark. For a treat that looks like it took hours but is actually really easy, try this peppermint fudge from The Frugal Girls.

Red and Green M&M’s

M&M’s might be the most versatile candy in your baking pantry. Use them to make festive sugar cookie bars or whip up Santa’s favorite cookies for Christmas Eve. They’re also an essential ingredient in Reindeer Chow.

Pair them with candy canes to make unforgettable pretzel peppermint bark or crushed Oreos for Christmas Cookie bark.

M&M’s Minis

You can also substitute M&M Minis in place of chocolate chips in your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. You can also mix them into brownies or cupcakes for a chocolatey surprise.

This recipe uses them to make Christmas lights on sugar cookies, but don’t limit yourself. You can use the same decorating technique on a cake. They also make great decorating supplies for these adorable ornament cookies with the help of some Rolo candy.

Rolo Candy

Rolos aren’t just for the ornament cookies above. You can also use them to make these incredibly easy (and tasty) Rolo Pretzel sandwiches. If you’re looking for a truly decadent treat, try these Rolo blondies.

Hershey Kisses

There are as many variations on the “blossom” cookie as there are bakers who make them. The one thing they all share is a Hershey kiss right in the center. Make these Candy Cane Blossoms using Candy Cane Kisses, go the traditional route with milk chocolate Hershey Kisses and peanut butter cookies, or make something extra special with Hershey Kiss Smores Cookies.

All of these variations add the kiss to the top, but if you want a cookie that’s truly chocolate-filled, use this Hershey Kitchens recipe.

You can also combine them with pretzel rounds and M&M’s to make a salty-chocolaty treat that looks like something out of a specialty candy shop but is actually crazy-easy to make.

Of course, if you want to skip baking altogether and just put out a bowl of Hershey’s Candy Dish Assortment or Mars Christmas Miniature Mix, we’re not going to judge you. And we bet your guests won’t either. With bulk candy from Sweet Services, you’re always prepared for whatever the holidays have in store.
