I might have a thing for candy. Maybe. Probably. Definitely. Which is why I am milking National Candy Month for all that it’s worth…about 30 bucks. Because with 30 bucks, you can buy all the candies.
Back in the day I made this candy bar project, but today I’m reviving it with a simpler, more doable approach. Cause I’m all about that doable DIY. And I want you to have every reason under the sun to sink your teeth into some yummy chocolate. Once you’re done scrolling through this deliciousness, let me know what you want your candy bars to say?!
You’ll need the following supplies (click any of the tags above to take you right over to the exact product I used for this project).
- Ghiradelli Melting Chocolate
- Lawn Fawn Let’s Polka Paper Pad
- Chocolate Bar Mold
- Mama Elephant Big Words Stamp Set
- Gold foil candy wrappers
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe container. I used a Pyrex
- Place the stamps into the mold. Press firmly so that the clear stamp is well adhered to the candy mold. (I would suggest doing this with, new unused stamps …you know…cause this is food and you probably don’t want to ingest any remnants of ink. But that’s up to you. You can always live on the edge. No judgement here. Hell, craft ink can’t be any worse for you than Twinkies, right?)
- Pour melted chocolate to fill mold and allow to harden in the fridge.
- Once hardened, remove the candy from the mold and wrap with gold foil (shown below)
Amazing, as usual! You just gave me the best idea for a bridal shower favor. Thanks!
YAY!!!! I love it when a project sparks an idea for you guys. Happy crafting and once you make those favors, I’d love to see!
Such a cute idea! We need more stamps with fun words!
Amen!! I would love some big stamps with quirky sayings. They would make for some bada** chocolate bars!
What a fabulous idea! So fun and creative!
So glad you like this one! It’s so easy and fun to do!
Ha!! So clever and beautifully packaged 🙂
I almost love the packaging more than the chocolate…almost. It is chocolate, afterall!
Brilliant!
Awww, thanks Janet!
Cute Amber! I think I’d like my candy bar to say…SWEET!
I’m sure there is a cute “sweet” stamp out there for you! Happy crafting, sisterfriend!
I love this candy bar message idea! And also that it is wrapped in Gold Foil – reminds me of the Golden chocolate bar in Willy Wonka… 🙂
You may not know this about me but I am a HUGE Willy Wonka fan so I’ll take this as the highest of compliments.
So clever, I love this idea!
Thanks, Rachel – you know I love your style so this means a lot!
“Remnants of ink!” You crack me up, Amber! Now this gives me an excuse to buy a dedicated alpha stamp set just for this project. ? I remember showing the other project to my sister as a possible wedding shower favor. She loved it! Thanks for keeping me inspired!
You are welcome, girl! You are so so welcome. Keep on crafting and keep on laughing! (I’ll help you with both)
Ahhh! This is GENIUS! (And so easy, which I love!)
I’m definitely going to be doing this for an event in the future!
