Best Answer

When a lei is presented to anyone, it is a sign of respect, love, endearment, honour, etc, etc. It shows to the person being presented, and to everyone else, that the person presented with the lei is loved, respected and honoured by the person, family or community who are presenting the lei. A lei can be made of flowers or any material, including money notes and candy and chocolate. So presenting a candy lei is another way of saying or declaring, I suppose, that the person being presented is a sweetie. When the event finishes, the candy or chocolates can be eaten.
