Directions for a no calorie chocolate candy



Materials
  • small amount of fiberfill
  • small piece of satin in chocolate colors--dark brown, medium brown, or cream
  • glossy fabric paint in chocolate colors (I use Scribbles)
  • needle and thread
  • paper candy cups (from cake decorating section of a crafts store)
Directions
  1. Make an oval pattern, approx 4" by 3 ¼". 
  2. Cut an oval from the satin fabric.
  3. Fold edge of fabric ¼" to keep fabric from fraying. Hold folded edges in place with fingers while sewing. With thread and needle, sew a running stitch around the folded edge oval fabric. Gather slightly and stuff with fiberfill. Finish gathering, stuff more if necessary, and anchor stitch and end off.
  4. Decorate the candy with fabric paint (see picture).
    I like to run a squiggly line across the candy. Check out chocolates at your favorite candy store for ideas.
  5. Let dry.
  6. Use candy cups as-is or spray them inside and out with gold paint.
  7. Glue finished candies to inside of candy cups.
