Hard Candy For Every Occasion

Give hard candy as an Easter gift or for a spring birthday. Gourmet candy is also an excellent corporate gift, and it's a sweet way to treat yourself to something special. Put your candies in a clear canister or bowl for an elegant desk or table display.

Types of Hard Candy

There are multiple types of hard candy for gift-giving or filling your own candy jar. Lemon Sherbet Drops are a refreshing treat for any season. They're lemon-shaped and have a sweet-and-sour fizzy center. These tart-and-sweet candies are made in Britain and come in a clear bag with a festive white ribbon for a stylish presentation. Buy them as a single bag or as a set of two, so you can keep one for yourself.

Médicis Chocolate Covered Pastel Almonds also come in gift-ready packaging. They're made in France by master confectioners and resemble speckled bird eggs. Inside the pastel sugar shell is a roasted almond, which is covered with rich hazelnut chocolate. Arrange these cute candies on a wood cheese board as part of a sweet spring charcuterie or display them in any clear bowl.

Williams Sonoma has premade Easter baskets in various sizes. The Premade Carboard Small Easter Basket is adorned with a vintage bunny illustration, and it includes an assortment of candies including a chocolate bunny. There's even a hand-iced sugar cookie in this adorable spring basket.

Other Gourmet Gifts

In addition to hard candy, there are plenty of other gourmet confections to enjoy. Treat that special someone to German Chocolate Egg Truffles in a decorative container or brightly wrapped German Chocolate Ladybugs nestled in faux Easter grass. There are fruit-flavored gummies in bunny shapes, jelly beans and a wide variety of boxed chocolates. You'll also find everything you need to make your own candies and spring-shaped cookies, including candy molds and cookie cutters in seasonal shapes.
