Candy Fundraising - S-W-E-E-T!

Candy bar fundraising remains the easiest fundraising option. You purchase your choice of candy, and have it on hand to sell directly to your customer. Candy can be sold at sporting events, school, and even in front of a local store.

Most fundraising candy bars sell for one dollar. The biggest decision is which type of candy to sell. Here are three different options to consider:

  • Hershey Chocolate Candy Bars Fundraising: Hershey's offers four different variety packs of fundraising candy bars. You can choose to buy cases that contain four carriers of 40 candy bars, or four carriers of 52 candy bars. All of the variety packs contain some of the best known candies. Hershey's offers the most popular one dollar candy options in fundraising. All of the bars sell for just a dollar. Your cost and profit depends on how much candy you buy. Profits are obviously higher when larger case quantities are purchased.
  • M&M's Fundraiser Candy: The M&M's variety pack is the single best selling candy fundraising variety pack. It includes M&M's, Peanut M&M's, Snickers and Skittles. You get four carriers of 52 candy bars in each case you purchase. The selection offers some of the best known candy items. All sell for a dollar each, and comes in handled carriers.
  • Original One Dollar Fundraising Candy Bar: The only thing negative we hear about selling candy as a fundraising item is that people sometimes complain about the size of the candy bar, or the price as compared to the local discount store or vending machines. Many groups instead choose to sell the Original One Dollar Candy Bar. It is the largest one dollar chocolate fundraising candy bar available. Also, it is sold only through fundraising groups, so you will not be competing with vending machines and discounters selling candy as a loss leader. This candy is perfect for small groups because the minimum order is only one case.

There are many other candy fundraisers. You may consider selling wholesale lollipops for fundraising. Here are other fundraising ideas for you to look at:
