What makes purple Sixlets special
Candy Shell Coating & Chocolate Core
The purple candy shell on every Sixlet uses food-grade coloring that won’t bleed or transfer to fingers during normal handling. We apply the coating in multiple layers to achieve the deep violet hue our customers expect. The shell provides a pleasant snap before giving way to creamy milk chocolate.
Our chocolate formula balances cocoa richness with sweetness, creating a smooth melt that contrasts with the candy crunch. The coating-to-chocolate ratio stays consistent across every production batch, so the flavor experience matches whether you’re buying your first bag or your fiftieth. We monitor shell thickness to ensure durability during shipping without sacrificing the delicate texture customers love.
Sizing & Count Per Pound
Each purple Sixlet measures approximately 0.5 inches in diameter — the same size as our entire Sixlets line. This uniformity matters when you’re planning candy displays or dividing portions for party favors. You’ll get roughly 72 pieces per pound, though slight variations occur due to the handmade nature of candy coating.
For event planning, we recommend calculating 1.5 to 2 ounces per guest for candy buffet stations. A one-pound bag serves approximately 8 to 10 guests when mixed with other candies, or 6 to 8 guests when purple Sixlets are the featured candy. The consistent sizing also makes these candies easy to incorporate into baking projects — they hold their shape in cookies and brownies when added during the final two minutes of baking.
Storage & Freshness Guidelines
Store purple Sixlets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The candy shell protects the chocolate from minor temperature fluctuations, but prolonged heat above 75°F may cause softening. We package every batch in resealable bags that lock out moisture and preserve the candy’s signature crunch.
Shelf life extends up to 12 months when stored properly. Once opened, reseal the bag completely after each use and consume within 60 days for peak freshness. Refrigeration isn’t necessary and may actually introduce condensation that affects the candy shell. If you’re preparing favors or decorations days in advance, keep assembled items in an air-conditioned space rather than warm kitchens or outdoor areas.

Common Questions About Purple Sixlets
A one-pound bag contains approximately 72 purple Sixlets. The count may vary slightly due to the handmade coating process, but you can expect between 70 and 75 pieces in most bags.
For event planning, this translates to roughly 4.8 pieces per ounce, making portion calculations straightforward for party favors and candy buffet stations.
Yes, we produce purple Sixlets in a dedicated nut-free facility. The candies do not contain peanuts, tree nuts, or any nut-derived ingredients, making them suitable for schools and events with strict allergy policies.
The chocolate does contain milk and soy, so they are not appropriate for dairy allergies or vegan diets. Always review the ingredient list on the package if you have specific dietary concerns.
The purple candy shell uses food-grade coloring that resists bleeding under normal handling conditions. You won't see color transfer to fingers during serving or eating. However, prolonged contact with moisture or condensation can cause minor color migration.
If you're using purple Sixlets as cake or cupcake toppers, apply them shortly before serving to avoid any moisture interaction with frosting. For candy buffets and favor bags, the coating remains stable throughout multi-hour events.
Absolutely. Purple Sixlets mix well with any color in our lineup to create custom palettes for your event. Popular combinations include purple with gold for elegant occasions, purple with pink for baby showers, and purple with white for winter themes.
Because all Sixlets share the same size and shape, mixed bowls look intentional rather than random. The uniform coating thickness also ensures consistent texture across every color you combine.
Once opened, purple Sixlets maintain optimal freshness for 60 days when stored in the resealable bag at room temperature. The candy shell protects the chocolate from staleness, but exposure to air gradually affects texture.
For longest shelf life, squeeze excess air from the bag before resealing and store in a pantry or cabinet away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Our purple Sixlets feature a violet shade that sits between true grape and lavender on the color spectrum. The hue leans slightly toward blue-violet rather than red-violet, giving it versatility across both cool and warm color schemes.
The glossy candy finish makes the color appear slightly deeper in dim lighting and brighter under direct light. We maintain strict color standards across batches, so repeat orders will match your initial purchase.
Purple Sixlets can be incorporated into baking with some technique adjustments. Add them to cookie or brownie batter during the final two minutes of baking to prevent extensive melting. The candy shell softens in oven heat but usually holds enough structure to create colorful pockets in the finished product.
For best results, press Sixlets into the top of cookie dough immediately after removing the pan from the oven. The residual heat will adhere them to the surface without completely melting the chocolate core.
