candygram

Mailed chocolate message

A candygram is a gift of candy sent with a message, typically through a delivery service offered by schools, workplaces, or organizations as a fundraiser—especially around Valentine's Day or holidays: She got three candygrams during the school assembly.

The format echoes telegram, suggesting a sweet message delivered formally.
