Halloween Memories Decorated Candy Bars

Decorating these candy bars for Halloween was one of the easiest projects to do! When I came across these chocolate bars with a Harry Potter wrapper, I knew I had to get them for my niece and nephew and their families who love Harry Potter. When I went to decorate them, it was so easy with the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. In the kit, you get designer series paper, cardstock, and stickers! And obviously, you don’t have to only use it for scrapbooking, although it would sure make scrapbooking Halloween memories easy!

For these candy bars, I wrapped each one in a different Halloween color of cardstock. You could use designer series paper which is a little thinner and easier to fold around. I secured the two ends on the back to each other with Stampin’ Seal+ which is a little stronger. I happened to have some scraps of the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder so I cut those down into strips and adhered around the candy bar. On the third bar at the top I used a piece of the Halloween Spells DSP to wrap around. The rest are stickers in the kit except for a few Daffodil Delight stars I punched out with a retired small star punch. The ghost is my favorite technique of all time, cutting a heart in half and making it into a ghost!

Here is another group of decorated candy bars using cardstock and stickers in the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. I did add some eyes on the bats with a white gel pen. And on the top purple bar is the other half of the heart ghost and some punched out stars.

These were so fun and easy it was incredible! I had no plan, no design idea, just played with what I had in front of me. Using chocolate candy in your stamping projects is always one of the most fun things you can do! Even if you had little candy bars you could wrap around small pieces of paper and decorate a little bit. Designer Series Paper probably would work best.

Have fun jazzing up some of your Halloween treats!

Halloween Candy Bars

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!

How to Decorate Candy Bars For Halloween Treats

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!
