I am so excited today to share this super easy gift wrapping idea inspired by these yummy Hershey’s chocolates exclusively sold at Walmart this season! I am always looking for unique ways to decorate my packages, especially when taking hostess gifts. I think incorporating something unexpected is always a good idea. I love to Celebrate with Hershey’s and adore the foils the new Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Chocolates and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures are in this year. Totally reminds me of a ugly sweater I would wear to a Christmas party! So I got thinking that these darling little holiday wrapped chocolates could make the cutest gift packaging ever. I got out my glue gun** and take a look . . . .

Quick Glance
- Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Chocolates and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures in holiday foils are available exclusively at Walmart this season and do double duty as décor and gifts.
- A hot glue gun is the only tool you really need, and the whole project dries fast enough to finish before school pickup.
- Arranging three Reese’s cups in a triangle at each corner creates a realistic holly leaf cluster that looks intentional and polished.
- Planning your spelling or pattern with loose chocolates before you glue anything down saves you from a sticky, crooked mess.
- The completed craft is decorative only, so pick up extra chocolates to serve separately if your recipient is expecting a snack.
- Kids can get involved with most of the steps, making this a genuinely fun holiday activity and not just another chore on your to-do list.
**Disclaimer: Please exercise caution when using hot glue guns. Completed craft is for decorative purposes only, please do not eat candy included in the craft.
So fun right??! And super easy to do with your kids for holiday gifts.

Step 2: Hot glue 1 red Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Milk Chocolate to the middle of the 3 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures. After you do all four corners, this is what it should look like. Step 3: Plan out what you want your package to spell. Lay out all the Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates you need to help you with spacing before gluing them down. Step 4: Glue your Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates down in the pattern or holiday cheer saying. Step 5: Let dry and you are done! This is THE quickest craft ever and Lauren had a blast helping! The Hershey Company has several festive treats available this season at Walmart so be sure to pop in and grab some for your parties and to decorate with!
Things to Know
- Gift wrapping can become part of the overall presentation, with paper, ribbon, tags, and decorative accents working together to create a coordinated look.
- Wrapping paper thickness and quality can affect how easily it folds, tears, and covers boxes, especially around corners and irregular shapes.
- A consistent color palette can make several differently sized gifts look more cohesive when displayed together under a tree or at a celebration.
- Ribbons made from velvet, satin, grosgrain, or fabric can create different textures and change the overall style of a wrapped gift.
- Gift tags are both decorative and practical, helping identify recipients while adding another detail to the overall wrapping design.
- Natural accents such as pine sprigs, dried citrus, cinnamon sticks, or small pinecones can complement simple paper and traditional holiday colors.
- Reusable materials such as fabric wraps, gift bags, boxes, and ribbons can reduce the amount of single-use wrapping needed for holidays and special occasions.
- Oddly shaped gifts may require different wrapping methods, such as decorative boxes, bags, baskets, or fabric, to create a neat finished appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any type of wrapped gift with this chocolate decorating technique?
Yes, this technique works on most wrapped gifts, but solid or simple wrapping paper produces the best visual results. Simple paper allows the chocolate decorations to stand out without competing with busy patterns.
How long does the hot glue hold the chocolates in place?
Hot glue bonds quickly and holds the chocolates firmly through normal handling and transport. Keep the finished gift away from excessive heat and handle it carefully to prevent decorations from coming loose.
Where can I find the Hershey’s Kissmas Sweater Chocolates mentioned in this project?
The Hershey’s Kisses Kissmas Sweater Milk Chocolates and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures in holiday foils are available exclusively at Walmart during the holiday season. Seasonal varieties may have limited availability, so checking stores early can make them easier to find.
Is this craft safe to do with young children?
Children can absolutely participate in most steps, but an adult should handle the hot glue gun at all times. Kids can help arrange the chocolates and plan patterns while an adult handles the hot glue.
Can the chocolates on the finished gift be eaten afterward?
No, once the chocolates are glued to the package they are strictly decorative and should not be eaten. Keep separate, unopened chocolates available if you want the recipient to have an edible treat.
