Plants vs Zombies Candy Ideas

Peashooter is one of the most popular characters in the video game, therefore, he must make a showing on your candy buffet.   Peashooter is the primary attacking plant in the game and he features a long tube for a mouth.  He shoots peas out of his mouth to cause the zombies some serious damage.

Sunflower is the second plant achieved in the video game and it is the only producer of sun.    Sunflower has a happy, cartoon face and is definitely one of the favorite characters in this game.

The jalapeno plant is one of the most dangerous in the video game.  It is highly explosive and can clear an entire lane of zombies.   Real jalapeno peppers are spicy and in the game this plant is very explosive.  I like the connection!

These jalapeno gummy candies would be a great idea for your candy buffet.   Each package contains over 2lbs of sweet cherry flavored candy.

Haribo gummy candies are always a hit.

These cherry gummy candies would be ideal to represent Cherry Bomb on your sweets table.  They are twin cherries just like in the game.  

Cherry Bomb is an instant kill plant.  This single use plant explodes almost immediately.  So, if you plant it, be ready to use it.

The gummy candies are sold in sets of 12.

Using these specialty candy molds is a very simple and inexpensive way to fill your buffet with sweet treats.  

The three candy molds featured below would be perfect to represent the games brain eating zombies, mushroom plants and Star Fruit.

For the brains, I would use pink Wilton candy melts and for the stars I would use yellow melts.  There are a few different mushrooms in the game, so for that chocolate you can choose whichever is your favorite or use a mix of different colors.

If you have never used Wilton candy melts before please visit my Easy Chocolate Using Wilton Melts page.

Blover is a combination of blow and clover.  Blover is a single-use plant that blows away all balloon zombies and fog.    

I love these oreo cookie molds and so will your party guests.  Plus they are so easy to use.  Simply melt green Wilton chocolate melts and fill the mold about 1/3 of the way.  Then place an oreo cookie inside and fill the remaining cavity with melted chocolate. 

Potato Mine is a single-use explosive plant.  They cause massive damage, but do take awhile to arm themselves.  

If you want to include Potato Mine on your buffet, these chocolate potato chips would be perfect.  However, they are a bit expensive, so another idea would be to make your own chocolate potato chips.  Here is a great recipe to make your own chocolate covered chips using a bag of chocolate chip morsels and a bag of ruffled chips.  

Coffee Bean plants wake up sleeping mushroom plants and allow players to use them on day, pool and roof levels.  I guess the mushrooms just needed some caffeine.  

These delicious candies are covered in a rich, creamy chocolate.
