3. Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg

The all-important Reese’s Easter Egg. Somehow these little guys are the best thing to happen every year in the peanut butter and chocolate world, and almost no Easter basket is complete without them. Regular Reese’s just won’t do at Easter – it’s egg shaped or nothing. We have 36 packs to satisfy all the peanut butter lovers in your life, but you should still probably buy 2 just in case (or just for you!).

These worldwide favorites come in special Easter colors to help celebrate the holiday. They are great for both baskets and eggs, or to put on top of your favorite Easter cookies. They’re versatile and, of course, delicious, and we have an 11oz bag for your enjoyment.


7. Smarties

Smarties are an ever-popular candy choice and make a perfect basket stuffer for Easter. Even among the chocolate and marshmallows, candy lovers will reach for Smarties over and over. We have 7oz bags of Smarties to load up your baskets with.

What Is Fundraising Candy?

Most of you are familiar with fundraisers. Chances are you've been approached to buy some sort of goods in exchange for funds to help an organization, and you've very likely participated in a fundraiser yourself at some point in your life. Because almost everybody loves candy, it makes perfect sense that candy sales are an excellent way to meet your fundraising needs.

What Is Fundraising Candy Good For?

Whether you are in need of funds for a school function, a church group, a sports organization, or for one of a variety of other non-profit organizations, selling candy is a sure way to increase your odds of success. One advantage of candy sales is that unlike some other fundraising options, you will have the goods available at the time of purchase. That not only benefits the customer by eliminating the need to wait and wonder when the goods will be received, but it also benefits you who are doing the selling by eliminating the need to keep records of sales or go back later and collects money. That results in a win-win situation for everybody concerned. You walk away from the sale with your profits in hand.

How Is Fundraising Candy Used?

There are various ways to go about the sales for a fundraiser. One way is to go door to door. While this has been a familiar and popular way for fundraisers to be done through the years, some people these days are not fond of strangers showing up on their doorstep asking for money. Yet, in the case of candy sales, some who might not usually welcome that knock on their door would actually greet you with a smile. Not only are the customers purchasing something they probably love, but they will have the added benefit of getting to enjoy their purchase right away.

Another way to sell the products is to get permission to set up a table in front of established businesses or at the location of your organization. This could be done in addition to door to door sales or instead of them. It eliminates or decreases concerns about going door to door by allowing customers to approach you.
