I stumbled across this cute and quick gift idea and just knew I had to share it with you all! This is an especially good gift for the person in your life that is hard to buy for. Or if you just need something fun to brighten up someone’s day. It is pretty fit for any occasion. And it involves chocolate so almost everyone you know would love to receive this kind of gift. 
You will need the following items to make this:
- 5 Hersheys bars, any size (6 if you need one to munch on while you do this project)
- card board
- plastic wrap
- ribbon, yarn, string
- cookie sheet
- oven
- filler of some sort
- Place cookie sheet into a hot oven. Temperature is not important, 350 degrees will do.
- Place a chocolate bar onto your cardboard and trace around it. Cut this piece out. This will be the base for your chocolate box. Wrap the cardboard with plastic wrap.
- Cut two lengths of ribbon and lay them on the card board. Unwrap all your chocolate bars. Place one chocolate bar on top of the ribbon.
- Now you will have to work fast. Use an oven mitt and pull the hot cookie sheet out. Lay one long side (the edge) of a chocolate bar onto the cookie sheet until it starts to melt (this will be your glue…I think you can make this out in the picture to give you a better idea). Place this side of the melted bar onto the bar that is sitting on your cardboard base and hold in place until they are stuck together–this only takes a couple of minutes. Repeat the process all the way around, until you have a box. For the sides you will break one bar in half.
- Fill your box with your choice of goodies when completely cooled.
- Place a chocolate bar on top for a lid and tie the ribbons together like in the picture above.
- Ta-da! Your very own Chocolate Treasure Box…to give away, as a gift, remember?
