Joellen and I decided we needed to make our own!
They were fun to make. We made a dozen of them in about an hour and a half (plus wasted time driving around town looking for Christmas ribbon!) I think it was much easier doing them together so we had extra hands. One person to hold while the other one glues... especially for the first step! First you glue a kitkat bar to two candy canes to create the base. We used hot glue and ran a strip of glue down each candy cane.
Next, attach 10 mini hershey bars on top, with just a drop of glue for each. You stack them in a pyramid, first 4, then 3, then 2, then 1, like this:
After all the glue is hard and secure, glue ribbon around your "packages" and a bow on the top. That's it! so cute and fun and your recipient can keep it as a decoration or take it apart and eat all the candy!
some of our finished sleighsI think you should all make some. Come on. You know you want to!

Oh, these are so adorable - I have to put this in my idea file for next year!
UGH! Don't show me THIS!!?? I don't have TIME to make any and now I really, really want to!!! But there is always next year. Right?
These are adorable! I would love to make some if I can find the time! Maybe I'll put it on my list of things to do on the 23rd or 24th...
Hey! Made 4 of them this evening. My helper was getting bored. Lol! I will continue tomorrow.
Wow! These are cute! Great idea.....thanks for sharing it.
Does the glue gun melt the chocolate? Is it hard to pull apart and eat??
Thanks!
no, not at all! I don't use a lot of glue, just a drop to hold them together & the wrappers protect the chocolate (I would have answered you privately but you are a no reply blogger, no email given)
these are very cute and could be customized for each person. I am thinking I would glue the little gum packs....the "old timey" kind that have 5 sticks in each pack...juicy fruit and double mint....instead of the chocolate bars....you could also probably use glue dots from the scrap book section of your hobby store if you didnt want to use hot glue but I bet the glue is stronger...thanks! I think I will try this too!
How cute! I'd be tempted to eat the candy along the way ;)
OMG! I love this and am making some tonight. Thank you!
I just made a fun little Youtube video using your creative idea. Thank you so much for sharing. I had a lot of fun making these. They are just to darling to not make. These were a must even if they were made last minute.
Here is my Youtube video:
