How to Dress Up a Chocolate Bar for Halloween

Wednesday, October 8, 2025

Dressed up Halloween chocolate bars, created by Paperesse.

One of my favorite inexpensive gifts is a dressed up candy bar; perfect for any occasion (everybody loves chocolate, right?!). You can go as simple or fancy as you want. This one I did several years back is more elaborate.

These chocolate bar goodies were created with two sets of generic Halloween dies I picked up at Aliexpress a few months back. I really like their versatility; the sentiments can be used on a card with a digi, or they're big enough to use alone, plus each set has several little dies you could use to embellish other projects (pumpkins, bats, ghosts, candy corn, witch's hat, spider, spider's web, etc). And of course, the price was right.

I did twelve bars that I plan on giving to the ladies who are attending the October monthly American International Women's Club (AIWC) coffee I'm the activity leader for. I'm pleased with how they turned out, but it sure took me a while to make them (all that glueing...ugh). The chocolate bar is Pumpkin Spice (a rarity here I'm sure will be appreciated).
