Craft unique candy bar wrappers this Halloween using our free SVG file. A perfect DIY gift to delight kids, friends, and coworkers!
Halloween is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to start crafting some spooktacular treats.
One surefire way to elevate your Halloween gifting is by customizing candy bar wrappers.
Perfect for trick-or-treaters, or give them to your kids, friends, and coworkers!
I got this idea from Skip to My Lou, and created a SVG file to share.
Gather your supplies, and let's get crafting!
Supplies You'll Need to Create this Project:
Candy Bar Cover SVG:
This digital media is for Personal Use Only - You do not have permission to redistribute.
There will be no watermarks on the download.
Cricut Design Space:
Skip to My Lou has free printable Halloween Candy Bar Wrappers you can grab from their site, but I wanted to use my Cricut so I created SVG files for the Candy Bar Wrappers.
When you are cutting the designs, size the candy bar wrappers to a width of 6 ½ inches to fit the candy bars perfectly.
Here they are all cut out, I only made the bat and the ghost.
Customize the Candy Bar Wrappers:
Score a line along each side of the head to create the fold for the wong or side.
Attach googly 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.
Adhering Candy Bars:
Attach a candy bar to the inside of the candy bar wrapper with a couple of glue dots.
That is all there is to it, now your cute Halloween treats are ready to hand 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!

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!
