Today's Halloween treat box features a peanut butter cup so big that even Count Dracula might not be able to bite through it!
I found this enormous peanut butter cup at my favorite local sandwich shop - the one with the yellow and white striped bags. This sandwich shop sources a lot of locally made and small business food products. This peanut butter cup comes from a company in Nashville, TN. They always have something new and interesting to try!
I created this box to hold the peanut butter cup as a Halloween treat for my husband. Peanut butter cups are one of his top favorite types of candy. You could also put other types of treats or small gifts in this box.
The style of this box is similar to a pizza-style box. The peanut butter cup sits inside of the bottom part and the back of the box has a hinged lid. I measured the diameter and the height of the peanut butter cup to determine the dimensions of the box. Then I added a little more to accommodate the fold lines.
Below are the measurements and supply list to recreate this fa-boo-lous Halloween treat box. If you need supplies to recreate this treat box, please, shop my online store HERE.
