craftgrrl | a question for all you craft godesses

i am currently making (well planning) a collage for myself that has things that remind me of the boy that i am currently in love with (and he loves me back! doesn't get much better than that). i want (read: need) to put a twizzler on it, but can i? like is the candy gonna get all gross over time with the glue or whatever? i need your help because i really don't wanna eff this up.
