Have you ever found yourself wondering whether you should opt for flowers or candy in a gift-giving situation? Well, it turns out you can do both at once! Inspired by a similar project she saw on Pinterest, Kim from seven thirty three rounded up some supplies from the dollar store and crafted a lovely bouquet of candy bars. It's a great alternative to a traditional flower bouquet for anyone who has allergies, or for your favorite chocolate lover. How could anyone resist such a sweet arrangement?

Glue, on hand
Flower pot, $1 and up

This is a great idea that could be varied with bubble gum or mini chocolate bars. So sweet…literally.

We did these for Father’s Day and both my husband and father thought we bought them from someone. hehe

One suggestion that we found helpful was to use the fun-size bars instead of the large ones. Most health-conscious adults would rather indulge in a small treat rather than eat an entire candy bar. And the bouquet lasts longer as they work their way through the candy. : ) We put several pieces of curling ribbon and paper flowers on some of the skewers to fill in the arrangement. We also used small gift bags for the base.

Great project!
