Another Sweet Treat for Halloween

It's another sweet treat for Halloween.  This time I am using a Hershey Candy bar.  This treat is made using plain Hershey bars, but I really do like the Hershey bars with almonds.  What is your favorite Halloween treat? 

I created this treat using the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.  I cut each piece into a 6" x 6" square, so you can get four treats from each 12" x 12" piece of designer paper.  Attach a strip of Tear & Tape adhesive to one of the outer edges, along the whole 6" side, being sure to keep the tape as close to the edge as possible.  Remove the backing.  Place a candy bar in the center of  the square and carefully wrap the candy bar in the designer paper, keeping the side with the adhesive as the top piece.  Secure once you are happy with the 2 pieces being lined up.

I struggle with how to tell you this next step because there is just no good way to say it, except for this one way.  I was recently talking to my friend Leanne and she said "I'm punching cats".  I laughed out loud at the image, even though I know she loves cats, and would never punch them.  So, here goes...  Punch the cat (no literal cat punching here please LOL) using the cat punch.  For these treats I used a piece of black glimmer paper (retired), but you could also use basic black cardstock. The piece behind the cat was punched using the starburst punch and pumpkin pie cardstock.  I used the stamp images from the Spooky Cat Stamp Set to stamp the rat and the "trick or treat" sentiment.The sentiment was attached using dimensionals.   Attach the cat to the starburst piece.  I tied bakers twine and orange ribbon around the candy bars for an added touch, then attached the cat piece using dimensionals. 

Your treat is now ready to give to a friend, neighbor or a special trick or treater.

Spooky Halloween Treats

With Halloween just 12 days away, I wanted to share a few treat ideas with you.  As I have mentioned before, I usually have some sort of treat that I've created in my purse to share with others as I run errands throughout the day.   If you have never done this, I would highly recommend you try it sometime.    The look on people's faces is quite often priceless, to say the least.  I have to admit that it's a bit sad to me that people are so surprised that someone is actually doing something nice for them.    Even my husband has seen the difference it makes in people.  As we go through the drive through he will say "hey, do you have any treats in your purse?"   It feels good to make someone smile. 

These cute pumpkin treats were created with Dove milk chocolates, but I have also used Hershey nuggets and Hershey caramel apple bites.  If your chocolate treat is bigger or smaller, simply  adjust the size of the center piece, then add 1/4" to both sides for the score line.

For this project, I started with a piece of basic black cardstock cut at 1 3/4" x 5", scored at 1/4" on both long ends.  This score line creates a lip to hold your chocolates in place.  Place chocolates onto the sleeve and slide into a 2" x 8" cellphone bag (item #141703) If you feel like the chocolates will slide around, you can attach them using a glue dot.  For these treats there are 4 chocolates on the card sleeve. If you would like to add more or less candies, adjust the length of your sleeve (mine were cut at 5").  Tie the top of the cellophane bag with ribbon or twine, as shown.

For the tag topper, I cut a scalloped circle using the layering circle framelits (I used the third from the smallest scallop).  I cut a circle using the smallest the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and stamped the "Eat at Your Own Risk" image from the Spooky Cat photopolymer stamp set using pumpkin pie ink and the rat using archival black ink. I attached the scallop and circle using fast fuse and then attached this piece to the front of the treat using a dimensional. 

Leave a comment below if you have or are creating treats to pass out, and if you, too, received a positive reaction from them.
