3 Delicious Island Candies to Take Home to the Family

1. Gummy Pineapple

Individually wrapped, these pineapple gummies are fun to give and even better to receive. You can surprise the kids at home with a bag or use them in a classroom as treats for good behavior. They even make the perfect candy lei when you string them together. Your kids will love the sweet pineapple taste and chewing on a miniature version of their favorite island fruit. 

2. Hurricane Popcorn

Hawaiian Hurricane Popcorn is a favorite for locals as well as visitors. The mixture consists of popcorn, melted butter, nori (dry roasted seaweed flakes), sesame seeds, and Japanese rice crackers (or mochi crunch). The nori is often tossed in a salt and sugar mixture, giving each bite a sweet and salty taste.

3. Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds

Place a bowl of these colorful candies on the counter and watch them disappear by the handful. Chocolate covered sunflower seeds come in a variety of bright colors. These little milk chocolate pieces make an excellent afternoon snack or can be added to goodie bags for your kids to take to school.
