St. Nicholas Candy Bar Wrappers

These cute wrappers are sized for three different candy bar sizes: Hershey Snack bars, Hershey Full size bars, and other specialty bars. The snack bars will stand up (the paper is also too bulky to fold up the bottom end). Most larger bars do not stand up, though the Choceur 1.4 oz bars will.

St. Nicholas could hand these out or they could make cute table decorations.
