Aquarium gravel works-someone here suggested putting it in a small baggie to ensure that is not in contact with the food-this is what I do now as well.

I love the dried beans idea!! Cheap, heavy, food safe... and hey they can make dinner later too!

How about M&M's (when they're on sale, of course!) or some MMF, which you can also use as a base to hold your lolipop sticks.

I always like to stick to edible whenever possible.

For an edible solution, you could use candy clay. I saw this in a cookie bouquet book by Autumn Carpenter, and thought it was a neat idea!
