This year I am giving a Hershey Mr. Goodbar candy bar as a holiday treat. This is a thicker candy bar than the regular Hershey Chocolate candy bar. Here is a photo of some of the treat holders I made:
This holder was made measuring one of the candy bars and then I cut the red card stock large enough to cover this thicker candy bar. I did only one score on the side of the card stock - 1/2" inch. To form this holder I just put the card stock around the candy bar - leaving some room so you can easily remove the candy bar from the holder - and pressed the sides with my hand. Used tear and tape on the scored side to close the holder. Then I removed the candy bar from the holder and worked on that .... Wanted the holder to look like the front of Santa's coat so I cut a piece of white card stock 1 inch wide and the length of the red card stock. Used a 3/8" circle punch and punched out three circles from black glittered card stock for the buttons. Used a square punch for the gold piece and then a smaller square punch for the black square in the center of the gold square as a buckle:
While the candy bar was not in the holder I used a smaller circle punch and punched a circle 1/2" from the top of the front and the back in the center for the ribbon to go through. Used liquid glue at the bottom of the holder and dug out my old Fiskars crimper tool and crimped the bottom of the holder. Cut my ribbon long enough to go the length of the candy bar and be tied at the top so the recipient just pulls on the ribbon at the top to remove the candy bar from the holder. Easy treat holder to assemble. More of these are finished:
