Fun Decor/Gift Idea: Candy Sleds
Wish I could take credit for this, but no, just something clever and share worthy that crossed my path. My sister's friend had a limited Christmas budget this year, so she gifted us with these cute little goodies. This looks to be a fairly simple project even if you're not crafty. The candy is held together with clear tape and ribbons.
The "sled" base is made from two candy canes taped in place on either side of a funsized Kit Kat bar (suspect a Reese's Cup would work well here too.) Two Hersey mini-bars make up the second layer with a miniature candy bar (Snickers in this case) on top...these are also secured with clear tape. Ribbon tied around just like on a package, with a Hersey kissed attached with a rolled piece of tape (like you would use for a bow) on the bottom.
Now the cost for this project could add up if you have none of the materials on hand, though I'd guess even paying full price materials would average around 50 to 75 cents per candy sled... however, this may be a great way to use up scrap ribbon and leftover Halloween candy. Also a good way to handle groups you'd like to gift with an "I'm thinking of you" treat.
