Candy cups are thin paper or foil cups, similar to muffin cups, that are the perfect size for holding a bite-sized candy or truffle. They help prevent candies from sticking to each other or your serving plate, and they make your candy look much more professional. Seasonal and decorative candy cups are also available to make your candy suitable for special occasions. Candy cups are also used to create chocolate cups.
