Mmm... chocolate...A good start to every day, wouldn't you think? ; )
Well, I won't be posting a recipe today, but I do have something else that involves food... kinda. I'm doing a candy bar in a couple of weeks with a pink/gold color scheme, so I've been going to town finding colorful candy and delightful ways to decorate it. I believe I made my favorite yet!
What you will need:
- Mini candy bars that are already wrapped in your color scheme,
- Thin cardstock, or regular paper (thick cardstock will not work),
- Rotary cutter, paper slicer, or scissors,
- double-sided tape
Here are the candy bars before I did anything with them. Truly, they looked so cute just piled on this mini cake pedestal, but I had it in my head that they needed to go inside this long, white dish (and I have other plans for the pedestal that day.)
First, cut your paper into strips (approximately 1 1/4" by 3 1/4 " - and yes, this time, I measured - it will be obvious if you don't.)
Then, wrap your paper around the candy bar, placing a piece of double-sided tape to hold it in place. Repeat.
And that's it!! I made approximately 25, and I was finished in less than 15 minutes. So do the math for the quantity you need, and plan your work time accordingly.
Tell me these aren't adorable... my husband and I agreed that they look like chocolate dominoes. Perhaps we'll make some just for ourselves. : )
