(351 Products)Office candy types
Purchase several types of candy in bulk so that every employee or visitor finds something they like. Many people love chocolate, while others like to savor long-lasting hard candy. Provide gum and mints as a quick way to freshen breath before a meeting or after eating strongly flavored foods at lunch. Gummies and lollipops are enticing treats for kids at medical offices or day care centers.
Reasons to provide candy in bulk
Whether in an office setting or a store with customers milling about, there are a few reasons it may be a good idea to provide candy. Consider these for:
- Retail customers as a welcome to the shop
- Employees as a fun snack and energy boost during the work day
- Children to keep them happy while waiting
- For children as a reward for good behavior
Consider candy as part of food gift baskets for important visiting and potential clients.
Benefits of providing candy to employees
A communal candy dish at a desk or in the office snack room acts like a sweeter water cooler facility for employee socialization. Offering goodies to an employee during a one-on-one meeting may help them feel more comfortable while talking. Free-to-everyone candy, gum, or mints is a good option over vending machines. Candy jars take up less space, reduce frustration from problematic machines, and don’t require employees to pay for snacks.
Dietary restrictions
It's important to keep dietary restrictions in mind when purchasing snacks for employees or customers. Look for sugar-free candies for diabetics. Many hard and gummy candies are dairy-free for those with allergies. Gluten-free candies are trickier, since many that seem gluten-free use wheat ingredients. Always check the label closely. The same goes for nut-free options. Snacks that don't contain nuts may have been manufactured alongside snacks that do. Labels usually note this. Lots of candies, including chocolates and taffy, are kosher, and have a clear label for easy identification.
