They’ll still love the sweetness of this DIY edible jewelry, but it won’t have the same amount of sugar as candy does. Anyway, I never did like the candies that were on them and there are so many options (cereal, candies, cookies, etc) available nowadays – so there’s no excuse not to string your own (or have your kids do it)!
