Halloween
It’s spooky season! Personalized chocolate is wonderful for Halloween activities, school parties, and of course, trick-or-treaters.
Retail Store
Win over customers by selling chocolate at your store. Whether you’re a clothing store or bookstore, bite-sized pieces right by the register will be hard to resist.
Trade Show

Custom Chocolate Design Tips
- Choose the packaging.
- Mix up the flavors.
- Decide where to print your text or design.
- Be unique & have fun.
Tip 1. Choose the Packaging
Chocolate comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The first thing you should do is figure out which style works best for you.
Chocolate Boxes
Personalized boxes of chocolate are excellent for birthdays, holidays, or weddings. You don’t even need to use wrapping paper or a gift bag!
Individual Pieces
Keep a few individual pieces of chocolate in a jar on your reception desk. They also fit well inside of coffee mugs if you want cute favors for a baby shower or family reunion.
Candy Bars
Do you need freebies for your trade show or fundraiser? Chocolate candy bars are a great choice! They can be thrown in a tote bag and are super easy to carry around a venue hall.
Tip 2. Mix Up the Flavors
Do you remember the quote in Forrest Gump about life and a box of chocolates? The best ones have a mix of a ton of different flavors!
Mix and match between any of the following:
Tip 3. Decide Where to Print
You’ve got your favorite chocolates all picked out, and now you’re ready to add your design. A photo, logo, or text can be printed on any of the following areas:
Chocolate
Thanks to the power of edible ink, you can take a bite right out of a custom printed design!
Wrapper
The wrapper may be thrown away, but it’s also the first thing a person will notice. Print your company name alongside a famous chocolate brand like Hershey’s or M&M’s.
Chocolate & Wrapper
Get more bang for your buck by printing your design on the wrapper and on the chocolate waiting inside!
Box
If you’re getting the chocolate as gifts, it’s not a bad idea to put your design on the box. “Happy Holidays!” or “Thank You!” are great messages to print on the lid.
Tip 4. Be Unique & Have Fun
Channel your inner Willy Wonka! You probably don’t have it in the budget for a chocolate river, but you can still customize unique, one-of-kind treats!
