Make Halloween Treat Candy Bar Covers that are fun to give at your Halloween Party! A step-by-step tutorial with a free SVG.
These make great teacher gifts, neighbor gifts, or whatever gifts to hand out to friends and family during the SCARY season.
There is still plenty of time to make these fun Halloween Treat Candy Bar Covers! They come together pretty quickly when cutting them out with a Cricut!
I got this idea from Skip to My Lou when I needed some small easy gifts for my coworkers. This little project was perfect, and who doesn't love candy bars, especially around Halloween?

Craft Tutorial:
Skip to My Lous has printable PDFs that you can grab from their site, but I wanted to use my Cricut so I created SVG files for the Candy Bar Wrappers.
You can find the files under the supplies list.
Just make sure when you are cutting that you make the wingspan of the wrapper 6 ½-inches to fit the candy bars perfectly.
Here they are all cut out, I only made the bat and the ghost.
Score a line along the inside wing so they will fold up perfectly.
Attach google eyes to the face.
You can customize further if you would like. I found some Halloween stamps in my stash stamped on the inside wing to add a Halloween greeting.
Attach a candy bar to the cover with a couple of glue dots and you are ready to hand them out!

I made these and loved them, thanks for the files. I cut them at 7.5” for the classic Hershey bar. Then searched eyes on Cricut Design Studio for different detail designs.
Valerie
What a cute idea and a great way to dress up a candy bar!
Katie
Thank you Valerie!
Terri

These are so cute! I saw them on Woman's Day site also and was so disappointed that were no longer there. Thanks for creating them. Made my life so much easier! Just one quick question what size did you make them when you cut them out?
Katie
Oh that is a great question Glena! Sadly I don't have in front of me to tell you exact measurements. I would measure the length of the candy bar and add about 1 1/2 to the length of the file. That gives you room for the head and the arms to compleltely wrap around the bar.
Glena
Thanks for getting back with me. If you get a chance could you place the actually dimensions?
Katie
I am sorry, but I don't have the actual dimensions that I used. I made these last year. So I no longer have any. Measuring your candy bar should work just fine.
Glena
Thanks! Also I used my Cricut to cut these out and I am getting to cut lines an inner and then an outer. Do you know why this is happening?
Melanie redd
Very cute ideas! You are making me hungry for chocolate!!
I came over on Grandma Ideas today, and I'm glad to find your site.
Hope you have a blessed day today~
Melanie
Katie
Thanks Melanie. Sorry about the enticing chocolate, but we all have to indulge a little 🙂
Jessica
Love these!! Super cute!
Katie
Thank you Jessica, everyone I gave them too absolutely loved them!
Kati | Houseful of handmade
These are fantastic! I wonder if they would work for the smaller sized candy bars for class treats, I'll have to go get some and do some measuring. Thanks!
Katie
Thanks Kati and good luck! I would love to see what you come up with!
