Homemade Guide to Creating Caramel Chocolate and Candy Gift Boxes

Part I - Facts about Candy Marketing

The average super market offers more than one hundred different types of candy, usually several times more during holiday seasons. The fact that candy is a popular craving among kids is one of the main reasons that it is such a marketable product. Candy can be used as gifts for kids, holiday presents for family, or just a genuine treat to serve a craving of sugar. There are more ways to enjoy the presence of candy than just buying it at a supermarket however, and one of those ways is to dip into the fun possibility of creating homemade assorted candy boxes.

It just takes one decision to jump into the fun and exciting world of creation, and decorating boxes of candy to share with friends and family sounded like a fun and interesting idea right from the start.

Part II - Homemade Assorted Candy Boxes

This will be a step-by-step guide on how to create a homemade assorted candy box. One of the most important things to establish is how to create the box. It's probably easiest to use a general white box rather than starting from scratch. There are several stores that could potentially sell these, for example a local dollar store, or a generally popular market like Walmart.

One of the first steps after obtaining the boxes would be to wrap the corners in foil, before gluing the corners down on each side. It is important to remember to ensure that the candy will remain in place once placed inside the box, so using a sticky material or a pasty substance should do the trick without ruining the candy container or wrapper.

Labels are usually a good choice for these kinds of boxes, and placing one just on the outside of the box for each candy would be a smart choice. Using a piece of paper similar to that of what you'd find in a fortune cookie would be perfect. This can likely be found at a local arts and crafts store, but if you cannot find them, you could use scissors to cut smalls pieces of paper apart, and write on them yourselves with a sharpie pen.
