Candy Truffle Wreaths
Ok, how cute are these chocolate wreaths? They took just minutes to make and were so fun. If you're looking for a sweet treat to give out during the holidays these wreaths fit the bill.
Each wreath is made with 6 Lindt truffles. They make perfect gifts for teachers, neighbors, bus drivers---anyone! You can customize these truffle wreaths in so many ways by changing up the ribbon. I used fishing line to tie off each individual piece of candy, but you can use ribbon or twine if you'd like. I just didn't want to see the string so fishing line worked great to conceal it.
Lindt Truffle Wreath Supplies
Chocolate Truffles or Candy: I used a variety of chocolate truffles from Lindt, but you can honestly use any kind of candy you'd like. Chocolate Bells, Ferrero Rocher, See's Chocolate Balls, etc. I found the Lindt truffles to be the best for the wreath shape and size that I was looking for.
Cellophane: a roll of cellophane from the Dollar Tree is enough to make about 15 wreaths and is probably the cheapest place to buy it.
Fishing Line: if you don't want to see the ties you can use clear string or fishing line like I did. You can also tie off each candy section with twine or colored ribbon. It's up to you!
Ribbon/Trim: you'll need ribbon or trim (or both) to tie off the top of the wreath. I used this striped ribbon and a roll of white pom pom trim from Home Goods.
Scissors: to cut the strings. These are my favorite craft scissors. They come in a 3-pack and are super affordable.
Clear tape (scotch tape): to tape the cellophane into a tube shape around the candy.
