Why a candy bowl is indispensable in every household
Buying a candy dish is not something you do every day, but once you have one in your home, you won't want to be without it. Why? These are the main advantages:
- Cosiness : a candy bowl invites people to come together and share.
- Decorative : combine sweets with colours that match your interior.
- Practical : you keep your treats organised and hygienically stored.
Whether you like colorful marshmallows or luxury chocolates: a well-chosen candy bowl makes everything just that little bit more special.
Tip 1: Choose the right place for your candy bowl
An important first step is location. Where will you place your scale? Here are a few popular options:
- On the coffee table : always within reach while watching TV or enjoying a cozy evening at home
- In the kitchen : a central place where everyone passes by
- At the office or in the study : to spoil yourself (and colleagues or housemates)
Please note that you do not place the candy bowl directly in the sun. This can negatively affect the shelf life of candy, especially chocolate or gelatin products.
Tip 2: Combine functionality with style
At TEKZEN.nl you will find bowls that are not only practical, but also beautiful. The Monoo bonbonnière – 3-layer glass candy jar with bamboo lid is a beautiful example of this. Thanks to the transparent layers you can immediately see what is inside, and the bamboo lid gives a modern, sustainable look. Handy and stylish!
Think beyond round bowls. Layered pots or varied shapes give a playful effect and make your candy bowl a real eye-catcher.
Tip 3: Sort your candy smartly
Do you have a candy dish with multiple compartments or layers? Then you can sort your candy by theme. For example:
- Layer 1: Sour and hard candies
- Layer 2: chocolates or caramel
- Layer 3: Gum and gelatin candy
Not only does it look neat, it also ensures that flavors and textures do not mix. Extra handy when you have guests!
Tip 4: Make your candy bowl seasonal
Change your candy bowl with the seasons. This keeps it fresh and surprising. Some ideas:
- Winter : peppermints, chocolate truffles or mini Christmas wreaths
- Spring : pastel jelly beans and cheerful candy butterflies
- Summer : tropical gummies and fruit candy
- Fall : caramel candies and cinnamon candies
A little creativity makes your candy bowl a real mood maker in your home. Don't forget to dust or lightly clean the bowl itself every now and then.
Tip 5: Use your candy bowl as decoration
Candy bowls are no longer just functional. Use them as part of your interior! Here are a few ideas:
- Color scheme : match your candy to your interior. Think black and white, pastel or bright colors as an accent.
- Holidays : Fill the bowl with themed candy (Easter eggs, Halloween candy, etc.)
- Extra decorations : add ribbons, confetti or a small plant for a festive look.
Remember, first impressions count — and this includes how you present your candy!
Tip 6: Don't forget hygiene
A neat and clean candy dish is essential, especially if you share it with family or guests. Follow these tips for a fresh dish:
- Preferably use bowls with a lid , such as the Monoo bonbonnière
- Rinse glass or ceramic dishes regularly with lukewarm water and a mild detergent
- For sticky candy: place a piece of baking paper on the bottom to make cleaning easier
With a little maintenance, your candy dish will remain beautiful and ready for use for years to come.
Tip 7: Not just for candy!
A candy dish is a versatile item. Feel free to use it in other ways:
- Fill with nuts, raisins or other healthy treats
- Use it as a stylish storage space for jewelry or office accessories
- Serve small cookies or chocolates during a high tea
This way you always have a reason to leave your beautiful candy bowl out — even if you want something a little less sweet.
