Blue Sixlets — Classic Candy-Coated Chocolate Balls
Our Blue Sixlets bring the classic candy-coated chocolate experience in a vibrant sky blue shell. Each piece delivers smooth milk chocolate wrapped in a crispy, sugar-coated candy layer that delivers satisfying crunch and sweetness in every bite.
We've been crafting Sixlets since 1960, and the blue variety remains one of our most popular choices for color-coordinated events, party favors, and candy buffets. The bright, consistent blue hue makes these candies ideal for baby showers, nautical-themed celebrations, sports team events, and any occasion where you need reliable blue candy that tastes as good as it looks.
What makes Blue Sixlets special
Ingredients & Nutrition Facts
Each serving of Blue Sixlets (approximately 30 pieces, 40g) contains 180 calories, with ingredients including sugar, dextrose, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, reduced protein whey, cocoa, corn syrup, carnauba wax, lecithin (soy), natural and artificial flavors, and Blue 1 Lake for coloring.
Our formula is gluten-free and suitable for most dietary preferences, though it does contain milk and soy derivatives. We manufacture Sixlets in a facility that also processes tree nuts and peanuts, so cross-contact is possible. The candy-coated shell provides a barrier that keeps the chocolate center fresh and prevents melting in moderate temperatures, making blue sixlets a reliable choice for outdoor events and warm-weather gatherings.
Packaging Options & Bulk Availability
Blue Sixlets ship in several formats to match your needs. Individual twist-end wax paper rolls contain approximately 1.5 ounces and fit perfectly into party favor bags, lunchboxes, and trick-or-treat buckets. Our 5-pound bulk bags deliver approximately 2,000 pieces, ideal for large events, candy buffets, and commercial applications.
We also offer theater-style boxes (3.5 ounces) and resealable stand-up pouches in 1-pound and 3-pound sizes. All packaging options maintain product freshness through sealed closures and moisture barriers. For event planners and retailers, we provide case quantities at volume pricing — contact our sales team for wholesale pricing on orders of 50 pounds or more.
Color Coordination & Event Planning
Pairing Blue Sixlets with Other Colors
Blue Sixlets work beautifully as a standalone candy or combined with complementary shades for themed displays. The medium-bright blue pairs naturally with white for baby showers and christenings, with silver for winter events, and with yellow for nautical or spring themes. Sports teams that feature blue in their colors often use our Sixlets for tailgate parties, team celebrations, and fundraising events.
We’ve seen event planners layer blue Sixlets with white Sixlets in tiered apothecary jars for elegant candy buffets, creating a clean, sophisticated look. The uniform size of Sixlets makes them easy to portion into favor boxes, organza bags, and acrylic containers without sorting or culling irregular pieces.

Blue Sixlets — common questions
Yes, Blue Sixlets are gluten-free. Our formula does not contain wheat, barley, rye, or other gluten-containing ingredients. However, we manufacture Sixlets in a facility that also processes products containing tree nuts and peanuts, so cross-contact is possible if you have severe allergies to those ingredients.
A one-pound bag contains approximately 400 individual Blue Sixlets. The exact count varies slightly based on the size and weight of each piece, but 400 pieces per pound is our standard estimate for planning purposes. A 5-pound bulk bag delivers roughly 2,000 pieces.
The candy shell provides protection against melting in moderate temperatures, but the milk chocolate center will begin to soften around 78°F. For outdoor events in warm weather, keep Sixlets in shaded areas away from direct sunlight and consider using insulated containers or ice packs nearby. The candy shell prevents the complete melting you'd see with bare chocolate, but pieces may become soft to the touch in sustained heat.
Absolutely. We offer bulk bags in 5-pound, 10-pound, and 25-pound quantities, with volume pricing available for orders of 50 pounds or more. For wedding planning, estimate 4-6 ounces per guest if candy is part of a dessert table, or 8-10 ounces per guest for take-home favors. Contact our sales team for custom quantities and wholesale pricing on large orders.
Unopened packages remain fresh for up to 12 months from the manufacture date when stored in a cool, dry location at 60-70°F. Once opened, transfer unused candy to an airtight container and consume within 3-4 weeks for best flavor and texture. The manufacture date is printed on every package for your reference.
Yes, we use Blue 1 Lake, an FDA-approved food colorant, to achieve the vibrant sky blue shade. This colorant is stable, does not bleed onto hands or other surfaces under normal handling, and provides the consistent color customers expect from our product. All ingredients meet FDA standards for food safety and are listed on every package.
Blue Sixlets are not certified kosher at this time. They are also not vegan, as the formula contains milk derivatives in the chocolate center. For customers seeking plant-based or kosher-certified candy options, we recommend reviewing our full product line or contacting our customer service team for guidance on alternative products.
