Do you see Pixy?
Because she’s peeking over to the right of me.
Isn’t she cute? I mean you know I just love her so much.
YES, she really is. And – AND !!! – you know what else is cute? YUMEARTH candy! I know, you’ve seen me brag about it on IG Stories & Snapchat but it’s one of those things I eat so frequently that I decided to share it on the blog. The candy is so on brand for The Skinny Confidential & I know the second your lips touch the peach licorice you will be bragging too. So there you go! Just being real.
AND SINCE WE’RE GETTING SPECIFIC- which we usually always do- I set this situation up to inspire you for your next holiday get-together.
I wanted the vibe to very much scream CANDY LAND.
Remember that movie? Or was it a board game?…or both?! Whatever it was reminds me of a land full of candy! Like the streets are paved in rainbow gum drops! Grandma’s house is made of chocolate! There’s a peppermint stick forest & a gingerbread plum tree! You get it.
This set-up is perfect for anyone who’s looking to do something fun for kids. But to be real Michael came home & stuffed his face with the gummy bears so you could set this up for a significant other too. Friends & family coming over? Got you covered.
What I did here is simple & something that anyone & everyone can throw together in 10 minutes because YOU KNOW HOW I ROLL.
WE G2G, so the quicker the better!
But still keeping it Instagrammy.
THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL’S 5 SECOND HOLIDAY CANDY LAND Soirée:
♡ ORGANIC CANDY:
Can’t have a Candy Land shindig without candy, duh! YUMEARTH
There’s nothing better than sneaking this into the movies. And I’m telling you, it will NOT disappoint for an adult get-together OR a kid’s party. That’s right, guys- kids & adults will LOVE.
PLUS the candy steers clear from artificial ingredients.
Also be sure to try the sour twists, insane lollipops ( don’t mean to brag but I was eating a hot chili mango lollipop today ), & SOUR beans. Sometimes they’re fun to add to the freezer before you serve them too. Not ONLY do they carry peach licorice, they also have POMEGRANATE AND STRAWBERRY LICORICE!!!!!! LIKE!!! WHAT!!!
Anyway, when you’re serving it- have fun with it! Display the candy in pretty little bowls for guests.
** use promo ‘Skinny’ for 15% off through 1/31/18. & get the peach licorice!
♡ CHAMPAGNE & CANDY-THEMED COCKTAILS:
Always champagne! Obviously serve kids ginger cider ( yes, this is a thing & kids love it! ) so the kids feel like they’re in on the fun. If it’s an adults-only party- which HEY!- I’m very much about- serve chilled champagne. I feel like you don’t need much detail here. Champagne is kind of an essential at holiday parties. Add pomegranate seeds to the champs to keep it holiday-ish. The champagne pictured is from We Drink Bubbles & it’s absolutely divine, guys! They have a monthly BUBBLES CLUB– imagine that, bubbles sent straight to your door every month. Into it!
ALSO you could do colorful, hard alcohol drinks like: caramel apple martinis, peppermint martinis, even CANDY MARGARITAS!! REMEMBER when I made candy margaritas?? Keep your theme strong here.
♡ CUPCAKES:
I actually did store-bought here. You know I’m not the best at time management so having the cupcakes ready & willing was ideal for me. If you have kids, let the kids decorate the cupcakes with candy. YUMEARTH is PERFECT for this because it’s pretty, not overly sweet, & it’s organic. YESSSS. You could also do gingerbread houses- I feel like you’re mom of the year if you do gingerbread houses. I was lazy & got store-bought cupcakes. Sugar cookies could be festive too. Whatever! You do you.

♡ CANDLES/MUSIC/CHIPS:
Candles because always candles. I’m obsessing over Ralph Lauren’s holiday scented candles. I cannot get enough really. The holiday scent is my favorite & the pine is a close second. Remember: you set the tone of a gathering with the scene. Music too though! Play the Candy Land soundtrack OR throw on Michael Bublé- his hottie voice gets me every time & his holiday album is gold. Chips too! Because chips always! Salsa, guac, some spicy hummus; everyone loves chips. One you start eating them, you can’t stop- you know?
♡ PLAY THE GAME:
The kingdom of sweet adventures! Nothing cuter than something that takes us right back to our childhood. The game is such a fun touch for a Candy Land party. Especially if you have kids. They will LOVE it. Lay the board game out to keep it festive for the kiddos…or the adults. I mean I feel like if you’re on a champagne/candy buzz anything can happen. Plus, it’s like $12 bucks so YES PLEASE! To get you going, remember the characters from the game? Plumpy, Jolly, Gramma Nutt, Princess Lolly, & Gloppy- just to get you REAL excited.
With that! I’m off to stuff my face with peach licorice ( freezing cold, it’s so good in the freezer ) & drink some mint tea. It’s way past my bedtime.
MORE GIVEAWAYS HAPPENING THIS WEEK so make sure you’re following along on Insta for a surprise one tomorrow.
See you soon-

It’s not a great game at all, but it’s definitely full of nostalgia and when you’re in preschool, a colorful game full of luck can be appealing. The pure luck definitely helps even things out when adults play the game with small children.
