It’s the day before Halloween but if you are still looking for a Halloween treat idea, these Halloween Candy Bars are one of my favorite ideas! And it couldn’t be simpler!
No matter what size candy bar you have, just cover it with paper and decorate! That’s it! These three are regular-size Hershey Bars that come six in a package. You could, on a very smaller scale, wrap the little Snack Size bars in paper for trick-or-treaters, keeping it very simple. And if you have one of the really big, giant chocolate bars, you can wrap that too for quite a spectacular gift! In fact, for Christmas, there is a funny poem that goes along with one of those big chocolate bars on the subject of Christmas fudge.
For these chocolate bars, I cut my paper at 5 1/4″ x 4 3/4″. The exact size might depend on your candy bar. You can use designer series paper or cardstock. On two of these candy bars, I used the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. On the first one, I just used the orange and black stripe paper and cut out ghosts and skulls from other patterns to glue on. On the third candy bar, I simply wrapped the designer paper with pumpkins and black cats around and added a greeting from the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set, and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I also punched two Basic Black pieces to layer underneath the Pumpkin Pie stamped greeting.
The middle candy bar is wrapped with Highland Heather Cardstock. You might want to kind of bend and soften the paper a little to make it easier to wrap around the candy bar. Just run it over a curved edge, like a table or something you have. Or just kind of loosen it up with your fingers. In the middle, I wrapped around a strip of the designer paper and tied some Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around in a bow. Then I cut out a black cat and a pumpkin from one of the sheets of paper and layered them on a die-cut Layering Circle Die with a scalloped edge.
There was absolutely no planning involved in decorating these candy bars so you know it is easy! I just knew I was going to use the Cute Halloween DSP. If you need a last-minute Halloween treat, try decorating some candy bars with whatever you have for Halloween!
