Transform chocolate bars, mints, and rolled candy into festive treats with some basic supplies.
We spent a couple of enjoyable hours customising treats for gift giving. We used a range of chocolate bars; rolls of Mentos; Tic Tacs; and peanut brittle. Firstly we wrapped the chocolate bars in aluminium foil. Then covered them with Christmas themed scrap booking paper, and added ribbons, tags, stickers, and other embellishments.
The possibilities are endless!
Sarah is going to give some to her Kris Kindle (Secret Santa) at school and the large blocks of chocolate to her teachers. Some of the smaller treats will be added to Christmas packages and stockings; or used as place cards at the Christmas table.
This is a great activity for kids!

A saying comes to mind when I see these gifts. “Less is More”.
Just simple wrapping makes it look so effective.
Just beautiful girls.
These are adorable! You girls are just full of great ideas!
Lisa and Sarah,
As ususal totally adorable. Thank you for the well wishes on coming home from the hospital Lisa. It’s so nice to be home! Great Job on the Candy!
It looks like a good idea for big kids too – another idea from my Christmas making day – I wonder how much will actually get wrapped though ๐ I wish I taught your daughter! It’s not the same teaching the ‘big ones’ at Christmas. I need to think of things to take in for them at the end of term – all ideas gratefully received (I have about 80 students).
That’s such a sweet and simple idea and it looks amazing!
The teachers should be very impressed indeed.
Got to love a post about wrapping chocolate! They look great – a very good idea for my daughter’s Kita caregivers.
Perfect holiday packaging! The recipients will be blown away by your stylish festive touches!
What a brilliant idea – they look so pretty. I love how you’ve used scrap-booking paper.
What a wonderful idea ๐
Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas. I have been struggling with the kids teachers gifts, wanting to give them something hand made but running out of time.
I hope you dont mind if I use your idea.
A great idea. Very creative and thoughtful.

what a great idea! I love the pink present paper too.
Yum – those gifts look good enough to eat. Beautiful wrapping and accessorising. Hugs Jx
Terrific ideas. Great way to use up some of the smaller pieces of Christmas wrap.
Very, very festive and delightful…And as always, ever so stylish! Happy Days making ready…((HUGS))
What an awesome idea! I love, love, love it. You are so clever.
Very cute!
so cute!
little packages can’t be beat. ๐
This is a great idea! I’ve done something similar with glossy magazine pages. For a swim banquet I used pages from USA Swimming. Everyone wanted to know where I “bought” those swim bars!
What a teriffic idea. They look beautiful.

Hello Lisa and Sarah, absolutely gorgeous and very creative.Regards Lyn
these are beautiful. i love the idea of using them on the christmas table. my boys would love that.
I like the candy canes into a heart. I don’t think I have ever seen that before! You all keep cranking out the cool crafts!
Thanks for sharing!
Whilst I applaud the beauty of your wrapping, chocolate wouldn’t stay on the table long enough to be wrapped in this house!
;o)
I love to do this with Lilli we lots of fun with chocolate and paper wrapping!
Just gorgeous girls. I love your tags, and your paper.
Beautiful. Such a fabulous idea – you know, if they didn’t contain chocolate I wouldn’t ever want to unwrap them, they’re so lovely.
very nice, almost a shame to open the prezzies.
Gotta have chocies that look as good as they taste!!! Great job girls.
Homemade presents are truly the best…of course, I don’t know if I’d be able to open yours!
What great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I love this idea…I will be using it for some gifties! Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea, and I love your paper choices.

Thanks for the tip on wrapping chocolate bars – I might even try to make some peanut brittle for my grandfather (sure to be a hit!)
Love the candy cane paper.

Wow! These all look great!!! Lucky teacher and ‘Secret Santa’ to be receiving these.
You ladies have been so busy – I love the Christmassy decorated chocolate and candy … the yo-yo decorations and the balls made from strips of paint test cards … I’m utterly jealous of your productivity and ideas ๐ Keep them coming.
Great idea!! I’ve been trying to think of a good, inexpensive gift for everyone in my very LARGE family.. this is perfect!! And I love to scrapbook! Even better!!
