Birthday Candy "Cupcakes"

Today is my best friend Laura’s birthday.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!


I found a really cute idea for a gift from Better Homes and Garden. Here’s my version.



I found little condiment cups at the dollar store that reminded me of cupcake wrappers.


I had treat bags with blue dots leftover from something, I can’t remember what. LOL I cut the bottom off of the bag and cut along the side of the bag to make a long rectangle.


I filled the center of the bag with candy (one with M & M’s and one with Andes Mint Candies), gathered up the edges, made sure it was just the right amount to fit inside the cup and secured it with a rubber band.


I cut off the excess bag so it would fit in the cup. I used some glue dots to hold the bag in the cups and to hold the “cherry” pom pom on top.


Now I have a quick and easy gift to send!
