Candy Buffet

Hello everyone!

My sister is having a Halloween-themed wedding, and I have been placed in charge of the candy buffet, which will serve as wedding favors for the guests. I am going to be making all the chocolate candies (it's SO expensive to buy "specialty" chocolate) and purchasing a few other vegan non-chocolate candies (i.e. hot tamales). So does ( Read more... )

I work for a cafe, and I make these as a vegan dessert. They're a little like macaroons, and I think they'd be awfully delicious half-or-fully dipped in chocolate as well. These are popular with non-vegans as well!
I use a very small scoop to make them, so they can definitely be truffle/bite-size candy sized.

Mmm... that looks good as well! How long would the shelf life be on these? I want to make as much as I can as far in advance without compromising the quality.

They start out very chewy -- I usually keep them refrigerated, and they become a bit stiffer over time.

I could see easily five days in advance though, without it compromising the coconutty goodness, as long as they were kept chilled.
