candy gems

Chocolate-coated candy gems are offered in a wide palette including Black, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow, Blue, Light Blue, Silver, Green, Orange and Gold. Seasonal assortments may include pastel mixes such as light blue, white, light pink, yellow and orange.

Candy gems come in several forms and textures: milk chocolate pieces with a crisp candy shell, wearable hard-candy gem lollipops, diamond-shaped gummy gems, and crystal-style candies that are crunchy on the outside and soft inside.

Candy gems are commonly used as baking and dessert toppings, in treat bags and party favors, on candy buffets and in bowls, for Easter egg hunts and baskets, as classroom or church giveaways, and on general party dessert tables.

Heat-sensitive chocolate gems are shipped with cold packs or other temperature protection when needed to help prevent melting during warm weather.

Common piece-count examples are 10 oz (~265 pieces) and 20 oz (~530 pieces); other offerings include mid-to-large sizes such as 1.25 lb, about 1.8–1.87 lb, 2.5 lb, 7.5 lb and up to 22.5 lb, with specific piece counts shown in some listings (for example 265, 530, 795, 1,060, 3,180 and 9,540).
