When my husband and I were barely married a month, we both found ourselves out of work. Since it was also Christmastime and we knew we couldn’t spend money on gifts for family and friends, I made candy boxes.
Everyone loved them so much, they became a tradition.
I wanted to share some tricks for packaging. I prefer to use boxes over paper plates and such. It’s easier to package and stack and makes for a nicer delivery.
I buy the boxes at restaurant supply stores pretty cheaply (United Grocers Cash and Carry or something like that usually has them.)
I have found that fudge works well to wrap larger piece tightly in plastic wrap instead of cutting into smaller pieces. It won’t dry out and people can cut how ever much they want off.
Look under my confections category here for more ideas.
