Select a bag of the recipient's favorite candy. If you're not certain what her favorite is, select one you know you've seen her have before or ask one of her other friends.

Put the treats in a plastic storage bag or clear gift bag. Write your message or candy gram saying in marker on the paper or index card you've chosen. Cut the paper to fit the size of your package. (If you have scrapping scissors you can use, this will add a nice touch.) Use tape to secure the message on the candy package.
Add ribbon or stickers to the candy gram, if you choose, to dress it up.
