Sweet Chocolate Blooms

March 6, 2012 By Jelli 12 Comments

Who doesn’t love a dolled-up chocolate bar?

These pretty posies found their way into Husband’s hands for Valentine’s day. Summer Elizabeth helped by “signing” the accompanying card with two little pink fingerprints forming a heart. Daddy was happy.
Sweet , colorful, chocolate blooms  are easy to make, lovely to look at, and a yummy way to say “I care.”  They’re perfect party favors, and would make great teacher’s appreciation gifts.
Grab your craft supplies and meet me back here, okay?

What you’ll need:

  • Miniature chocolate bars
  • Popsicle or other craft sticks
  • Felt flowers (Save yourself the hassle. Buy pre-cut)
  • Buttons
  • Sequins
  • Green paper + your choice of colors
  • Craft/hot glue
  • 15 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Cut colored paper strips and glue to cover miniature candy bar wrappers.
  2. Attach felt flowers to chocolate bar papers with glue and glue on a pretty button
  3. Run a line of glue down craft sticks and attach sequins and ribbon.
  4. Cut out leaves and glue to the back side of the craft stick “stems.”
  5. Scribble down a sweet note of endearment and brighten someone’s day with  these sweet chocolate blooms.
