Note From The Author

When putting this list of songs about candy and sweets together, I may have gone a little overboard. Surely, you don’t need such an extensive list. However, I always worry that if I leave something, that one thing could have been the perfect one FOR YOU.

When I compiled this list, I was thinking of music that is played while serving dessert at a baby showers (or wedding,) but after chatting with some readers, I realized that playing songs about candy and sweets is perfect for kids parties too!

If I missed any good songs, do let me know in the comments.
