I started with two types of candy – Hershey Miniatures (the holiday variety with red, green, gold, and silver wrappers) and Andes Mints. This provided some variety and they are family favorites.
Credit for the original template for the wrappers goes to
The Hillbilly Princess Diaries. I could have
designed them myself but why?

Attaching the labels is super easy. The template creates wrappers that will
overlap slightly in the back on the Hershey Miniatures. Using an Elmer’s glue stick I applied a small
amount of glue on the area that would overlap and they held perfectly. The Andes Mints I purchased were a bit larger
so I applied the glue to the entire back side of the wrapper and then attached
them to the mints. They held well but
did not overlap in the back.
These miniature chocolates wrapped in jokes will be fun all
holiday season long. I used them as
filler for our advent calendar, gave a small treat bag of them to co-workers,
and added a few to my daughter’s lunch each day. Kids and adults alike are starting
conversations and laughing together over the jokes. And after all, isn’t that part of what makes
the Christmas season great – making happy memories together?
