Who knew June was the nation’s official candy month? We did! It says a lot about a country when it dedicates an entire month (the best month!) to candy. And according to official holiday rules, you have to eat candy for dinner every night until July. Alright, maybe those are Old Time Candy’s unofficial rules…but there’s no reason not to incorporate a little more sweetness into your days this June!
National Candy Month not only serves as a free pass to eat a few more gummi bears than usual, it also acts as a brightly colored reminder to live your life with the happiness and joy that candy brings. Remember that feeling you got walking through the aisles of your favorite candy store? Like Willy Wonka’s factory, you can surround yourself with a world of pure imagination in your everyday life! Here’s a roundup our favorite candy decor ideas to keep your world as colorful on the outside as you are on the inside.
