Bark Bars Box Templates and Bands

md106464_1210_07_chocolate_bars_v5.jpg

The perfect way to give homemade Christmas candy is in a handcrafted box, bag, jar, or tin. Choose from easy packaging ideas that kids can help with, cute containers that double as Christmas decorations, and printable templates and clip art to help you create the perfect package for your candy.

This pistachio, dried cranberry, and toasted coconut bark is a riff on the classic holiday fruit-and-nut combo. Use our wooden box template or regular box template and bands to create gourmet-looking treats to give away as gifts.

Flavor Stamps

md106464_1210_01_britle_package_hazlenut.jpg

Adhere chocolate and hazelnut flavor stamps to a button-closure envelope for a package of chocolate-hazelnut toffee sure to delight its recipient. For our other brittles and barks, use these flavor stamps: dried cherries and orange zest; wafer cookies; crisped rice; macadamia nuts and lime zest; pretzels, raisins, and peanuts; peanut butter; peppermint; coconut flakes, pistachios, and dried cranberries; and graham crackers and marshmallows.
