Where can I buy some long (10-12inch) lolly stick/coffee stirrers?

I usually make some chocolate/sweet filled cups to sell for charity every Christmas. 

I sell them in a charity shop I work in and they sell well and raise a lot of funds for the charity.

Because  have done them for a few years I feel the idea may be getting a bit stale so want to do them a bit different this year.

I want to do some adult ones using wrapped biscuits (Kit Kats etc) instead of the usual Roses/Quality St) and so want to use double sided tape to arrange them on sticks in the cups.

Those coffee stirrer type you get in Costa or McDonalds would be perfect but I can only find ones about 5 inches on sale which is not long enough.

Does anyone have any idea where I could get some please. I need about 300.

Craft sticks??  There seems to be quite a variety on Amazon.

Thank you (again!) 

I have seen those but I want the flat ones as I think the round dowel type will end up not staying straight when I try to fix them. I cover them with cellophane bags and put gift tags and ribbon on so have to have them perfcct before the wrapping goes on.

There are these ones which are 19cm - how long do you want them to be?

What about these "paint stir sticks"? 30cm x 2.4cm (although they may be wider than you want?)

Or these 40cm x 0.9cm

How about candy floss sticks?  Amazon has them at aproximately 11 inches long (28cm).  

I saw the craft sticks but dont know whether not being food grade will be an issue?

You could try looking for plant label sticks.

I think I bought mine at Wilko and they were about 30cms and flat for writing on.
