Make Halloween Treat Candy Bar Covers that are fun to give at your Halloween Party! Below is the step-by-step tutorial and SVG Download.

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 download from their site, but I wanted to use my Cricut so I created SVG files for the Candy Bar Wrappers.

You can download the files by clicking the link under the supplies list.

Just make sure when you are cutting that you make the wingspan of the wrapper 6 1/2-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.

    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?

      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.

          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.

            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?
