Chocolate Candy Bar "Cake"

What a sweet gift for someone who has EVERYTHING. Make a basket lined with chocolate bars and include sweet treats on the inside.

This is a "practice makes perfect" project. The first time I tried this, I glued my candy bars to a Cool Whip tub. In theory, it should work well - but there is a slant and the candy does not fit tightly.

My suggestion would be to try this the candy basket the first time for fun. Make your sweet treat around to share around the house or with your co-workers.

It should take 20 minutes to glue the candy on the styrofoam ring.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Cardboard Base
Glue Gun
8 7/8x1 3/16-inch White Styrofoam Base
Candy
Choose Candy Bars around your flavor choices

Step 1

Candy, glue gun, hot glue sticks - let's do it!!!

ASSEMBLE YOUR INGREDIENTS AND GLUE GUN

Aim, ready, FIRE the glue gun up. Then assemble your candy to glue to your base.

Make sure you have enough candy to go around your base, and fit inside of your candy basket.
Step 2

Glue your chocolate bars.

BEGIN GLUING THE CANDY AROUND YOUR BASE

After your glue gun warms up begin applying hot glue to your chosen base.

Like I said, I glued my chocolate bars to an empty whipped cream tub. It worked and provided the definition I needed.

(The next time I will use a stryofoam base so the candy will be spplied evenly.)

Hold the glued candy bar to the base and let it stick on there.
Step 3

Completes the gluing.

CONTINUE GLUING

Continue gluing until you have your area covered.

If you have gaps between your chocolate bars and you have glued to a styrofoam ring, you can add a little curling ribbon and fix it up.
Step 4

Fill the basket up with candy

WHEN YOU COMPLETE ADDING YOU CHOCOLATE BASE - - -
begin adding candy.

What a sweet fun gift this would make for any event!!!
