Here’s a last minute Valentine’s idea that let’s the candy show through to be the star. Any small candy like Hershey’s kisses will work or use a stack of 3 Ghirardelli squares. The finished box is approximately 2” square by 1” high. It makes the perfect little treat to give your special friends on Valentine’s Day! If you want to make your own, just follow my tutorial below. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
