Here are some ideas on how to decorate candy bars for Halloween treats. If you happen to have a box of chocolate candy bars (I mean, craft supplies) in your pantry, you can have a good time decorating some of them (not all of them, of course!) with Halloween designer paper and embellishments. Maybe you don’t want to give out these regular size candy bars out to the trick-or-treaters but maybe it would be fun to make them for family, friends, office mates or neighbors. You could also do this with the little snack candy bars if you wanted to make a lot.
Just wrap a piece of cardstock or designer paper around the candy bar. I found that a piece of 5″ x 5″ Monster Bash Designer Series Paper worked fine. To make sure I had a good adhesive to hold the paper together after I wrapped it around, I used Tear & Tape. If you use Snail Adhesive, I would put it on both ends so the tape sticks to itself and makes the hold stronger. I do this a lot.
Decorate the candy bar however you like. On these Halloween candy bars, I used one character face from the Monster Bash Designer Paper layered on a 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. The other two have stamped greetings from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set. I layered each on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames Dies. Each die-cut was too big so I just cut them down in the middle and matched up the two ends underneath the greeting. It worked well enough for candy bars!
You could make these as fancy or as simple as you like, depending on who you are giving them to. Most likely you want to make them fairly simple. You could also use stamped or plain cardstock with some kind of embellishment. Here are some little candy bars I decorated several years ago! It really is fun once you get started. You may not want to stop!
