Enjoy these sweet candies at your summer picnics!
As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, there’s no better way to enjoy summer than with a picnic in the park, at the beach, or in your own backyard. You’ve packed the sandwiches, the lemonade, and the sunblock—but what about the sweets? No summer picnic is complete without a touch of candy to add a bit of fun and flavor to your outdoor adventure. Whether you’re planning a romantic afternoon or a family gathering, the right candy can elevate the experience and provide the perfect post-lunch pick-me-up.
At Wockenfuss Candies, we offer a wide range of sweet treats that are just right for summertime snacking. Here are some of the best candies to bring along for your next picnic:
Fruit Slices: A Burst of Summer Flavor
Bright, juicy, and just the right amount of chewy, our Candy Fruit Slices are a picnic-perfect treat. Shaped like real citrus wedges and coated in sugar, these fruit-flavored slices come in vibrant summer flavors such as cherry, lemon, lime, orange, grape, blue raspberry, and watermelon.
Their colorful appearance makes them a festive addition to your picnic spread, and they hold up well in warm weather. These nostalgic candies are a hit with kids and adults alike and pair perfectly with lemonade or iced tea.
Salt Water Taffy: A Classic for a Reason
Few treats capture the carefree spirit of summer like Salt Water Taffy. This chewy, flavorful candy comes in a wide assortment of classic and seasonal flavors, such as banana, chocolate, molasses, peanut butter, root beer, vanilla, and more.
Each piece is individually wrapped, making salt water taffy easy to pass around or tuck into a picnic basket without a mess. Taffy is also a great conversation-starter, as everyone tends to have their favorite flavor (and their own method for eating it!).
Gummi Candies: A Colorful Crowd-Pleaser
Gummi candies are always a picnic favorite thanks to their soft chew and fruity flavor. Our Fruity Gummi Fish, for example, are a fun and flavorful option for all ages. Measuring just over two inches long, these gummies come in delicious flavors like strawberry, orange, lemon, and lime.
Pack a few bags for sharing! Kids love sorting them by color, and grown-ups appreciate the refreshing, bite-sized sweetness after a savory meal.
Chocolate-Covered Pretzels: Sweet, Salty, and Satisfying
When you want a sweet treat with a little crunch, reach for a few Chocolate-Covered Pretzels. Available in both milk and dark chocolate, these crunchy snacks offer the perfect blend of salty and sweet, making them a go-to for any outdoor gathering.
Keep them shaded or in a cooler to prevent melting, and you’ll have a snack that pairs well with wine, fruit, and other picnic staples.
Creamy Mint Sticks: A Breath of Fresh Air
Need a cool and refreshing bite after a hearty picnic meal? Our Creamy Mint Sticks are the answer. With a just-right peppermint flavor and a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture, these minty delights are perfect for cleansing the palate and cooling off.
Available only from May through September, these seasonal treats are an elegant touch to any picnic basket.
