How to Announce the Event with Chocolate

Can you think of a better way to celebrate a joyous event than chocolate? Dark chocolate has more antioxidants than red wine or green tea, and it assists your blood vessels and brain functions. There is a property found in chocolate very similar to the "feel good" chemical serotonin found in our body when falling in love.

While researching birth announcements I came across a site that advertises candy wrapped in your announcement. Why not hand our Hershey's bars wrapped in the joyous news rather than a cigar?

How about a custom wrapped candy bar for your baby shower, birthday, anniversary, christening, bar or bat mitzvah, reunion, retirement, wedding, school team, grand openings, and the list goes on?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• candy
• paper
• tape
• pen/marker
• joyous event
• recipients

1. 
    
   Hershey's Candy Bars

   Measure a strip of colored paper to fit directly under the word "HERSHEY'S". Write "is" on the center of the paper. Tape both ends of it.

2. 
    
   Birth Announcement

   Measure your paper to cover the portion of HERSHEY'S that you do not want to keep. For example if announcing the birth of a girl, leave the letters SHE uncovered, for a boy leave HE. On one paper write HERE, on the other write the babies names, date, weight, etc.

3. Wrap paper around the bar leaving only the letters you choose exposed. Tape in place.

4. Wrap a candy bar with a party invitation, or any number of announcements. Be creative.
