Candy and snack foods to fit any blue theme party
Bright blue is a happy beginning to a party. Whether you choose "Smurf blue" for a
Smurf's Party, "Cookie Monster blue" for a Cookie Monster party or "Blues Clues blue"
for a Blues Clues party, your kids party is sure to be a hit when you set up a candy bar
in shades of blue to match your party theme.
Blue candies:
Above you'll find a bevvy of delectable sweets in blue! Choose from:
- Blue gummies come in the shapes of blue rapsberries, blue gummy bears, blue
raspberry rings, and slices that look like blue citrus.
- Blue chocolates: Chocolate lentils, chocolate covered almonds, malt balls, and
candy coated chocolates are available in a variety of beautiful blue shades.
- Don't forget the blue raspberry laces and blue jelly beans.
Barty planners looking for blue party foods that fit an blue party theme will appreciate
this quick list of brightly blue snacks, and menu suggestions, plus ideas on how to
make blue ice cream, blue popcorn and more:
Blue party foods
- How to make blue ice cream: soften vanilla ice cream by letting it sit out to stand
a few minutes. Blend in blue powdered food coloring (not liquid). Then return to
the freezer to harden. Blue ice cream will look terrific for a pirate party or
nautical theme as it will look like the ocean.
Blue Popcorn recipe and ideas:
- How to make Blue Popcorn: Start with your favorite popped corn. Kettle corn is a
wonderful option as it is both sweet and savory and ideal for kids parties. Spray
1/4 of the popcorn with Wilton's Color Mist spray, left.
- How to make blue popcorn balls: Use your favorite popcorn ball recipe or try
melting marshmallows. A dash of blue food coloring is all it takes. Swirl the food
coloring into the marshmallow mixture or the corn syrup mixture.
- How to make sweet popcorn that's blue: Start with Blue Raspberry Glaze Pop
Popcorn Flavoring, right. Use this yummy raspberry frosted corn in your popcorn
popper. Start with corn and popping oil. Instead of salt, use a measure of Glaze
Pop equal to half the quantity of popcorn. Put the oil in the popper first and as
soon as it liquefies add the popcorn and Glaze Pop and stir until the popping
slows down. Then allow to cool before eating.
Blue candies
Candy buffets are all the rage at kids parties. Candies will look appetizing for your
party when you display them in clear apothecary jars. Give them a blue tooth with
these sweet treats

Blue Cakes and Cake Decorations

Blue drinks
Here are some sweet blue beverages for the perfect party drink:
- Jones soda has an awesome bubblegum blue
- Blue Gatorade flavors include:
- Torani syrup in blue raspberry is very blue indeed and makes a refreshing
shaved ice treat. Pour it over lemon lime soda for a soda the kids have likely
never tasted before.
Blue cotton candy
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something seahorse blue! Got
the blues? Whether you're having a blue cookie monster party, or celebrating a
birthday with seahorses, creating blue foods for a party is weird, wacky and
wonderful. How are you going to do it? We'll drop you a hint: err on the side of caution
as too much blue food coloring will detract from your theme. Use white plates and
accent with white foods so that you have just the right balance for guests to brave.
More blue party food:
- A blue birthday cake. Mix just a few drops of blue food coloring with your white
cake mix or angel food recipe, but frost with simple white icing with blue
decorating gels for the lettering and cake design. For something more
unexpected, try the Wilton cake checkerboard pans with half white cake and half
blue cake.
- Shimmy the Jimmies. Blueberries are an obvious choice of food for your party,
but you can kick things up a notch with blue whipped cream sprinkled with blue
jimmies. Add just a hint of blue to your whipped topping, so as not to overwhelm
your guests.
- Blue cookies. The cookie monster is blue, and your cookies should be too. Try our
Easy Big Batch Sugar Cookie recipe and use India Tree sugar crystals. Try
adding blue drops of food coloring to the easy and delicious recipe for royal icing
made of meringue powder. Left, you'll also find Blue cookie icing.
- Melt-away with Wilton candy melts. It's much easier than melting white chocolate
and adding food coloring, and you'll likely have a prettier color baby blue.
- Make seaside lemonade. Fill ice cube trays with water, then add a drop of food
coloring to each. As the blue ice melts into yellow lemonade, you'll have a
wonderful sea green.
- Blue bagel and cream cheese. Make blue bagels by adding a few drops of blue
food coloring to your home made bagel recipe. Keep the cream cheese white, so
that it's not too overwhelming. Don't have time to make bagels? Then do the
reverse: color the cream cheese.
- Blue deviled eggs. Start with your favorite deviled eggs recipe. Before scooping
the mixture back into the white egg halves, soak them in water mixed with a
few drops of food coloring to get the desired color. Allow drying time on paper
towels, then fill and serve. Blue looks terrific with the yellow centers.
