I've had dreams like this. Nice job and idea. Softer light would've helped as the reflection form each piece of candy detracts a bit IMO... good luck with your shot.
This is too funny. I like all the bright colors, but the little hot spots become distracting, just because there are so many of them. I can't offer any advice to fix them, though, so I suppose it isn't really helpful.
Something I do think would make the composition a bit stronger is to move the hand out of the center of the frame and use negative space to your advantage. By having the hand in the lower right or left corner, it would kind of give the impression of being "smothered" by the candy.
