Dessert tables and candy bars became huge, huge, huge in the wedding dessert world last year, and I think it’s safe to say they’ll only continue to grow in popularity in 2012.

So I just had to know: what kind of dessert table or candy bar would you want for your wedding? I asked all of our Facebook fans what they’re favs were, and here’s what they said…

The majority of our fans said they want all the classic candy bar favorites, including licorice, jellybeans, chocolates, caramels and peppermints. Having a selection of cookies — with milk, of course — was tied for second with a candy bar full of gummy candies. Assorted coffees and teas with biscotti and coffee cake came in third, and in last place? An ice cream/sundae bar complete with all the fixins.

Below are a few photos of the top 3 dessert table choices to help inspire you to create your own yummy, interactive buffet-style wedding dessert, as well as two more ideas I thought were fun.

Oh, and just a little side note: with zero votes, cupcakes didn’t make the cut.
