That time of year is here again and if you are like most Brides-To Be you are busy, busy, busy planning your wedding. From the colors of your event to the party favors the list never seems to end. Without your chosen color, you can't call the florist, choose the bridesmaid dresses and even the baker can't begin to plan for your special day. The season usually has a lot to do with the color of

Most of us know that Anakin, father of Luke Skywalker, turned to the "dark side of the force" and became evil Sith Lord Darth Vader in a dark galaxy far, far away.During the Easter holiday I went to a local department store in search of goodies to put in the children's baskets. There were a few teenagers playing and laughing down the isle at a Darth Vader doll with some small pieces of chocolate

Milton Snavely Hershey made it his mission to ensure that every single chocolate that went out with his name on it was up to his standards of approval. In 1894 he made a name for himself and a name for the world to share. Of course I would of been perfectly happy to be named after a chocolate bar but I have never had any thoughts to change my given name.According to a recent study many people are

Well maybe not money trees but if you ask any parent they will tell you that their children actually believe that money does grow on trees, if only it was that easy to give them their allowance! Money & Candy bars may not grow on trees but nuts and chocolate do.Have you ever wondered where chocolate came from?

This year the family will be attending an Easter egg hunt with a twist. Our local park will have their eggs dropped from a helicopter. Obviously the kids won't be on the field until after the eggs have landed. I've never witnessed such an event and can't wait... After a quick Google search I see that helicopter egg drops are growing in popularity. See this announcement from a church in PA or

With Easter just around the corner the team here at Wrapped In The Moment wishes to express our concern for the ever so sweet chocolate bunny. Each year millions and millions of chocolate bunnies are bred for one and only one purpose. To be despicably decapitated at the hands of confectionery lust. It's a little known fact, that most chocolate bunnies endure a slow and undignified departure.

First time buyers of custom candy bar wrappers often ask, "How difficult is the wrapping process." Of course the answer is always, "easy". All you need is a $0.25 glue stick or tape, and in a moment you are done. Awhile back we put together this web page with step by step photos. But today we dragged Michelle, our owner, away from her design studio to create a short how to video. Check it out,

It's almost that time again, time to get your green on! St. Patrick's Day, the day everyone wants to be Irish. Me? I like to breakout the 70's tube socks. You remember the ones with a thick color stripe at the top of the calf. Then I keep them hidden under my pants legs. I gotta go green, but I like getting pinched too...In less than 20 days the quest to turn all things green will be upon us.

Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will be showered with sweet support this Valentine’s Day, according to the National Confectioners Association’s (NCA) latest poll. Looks like the GOP has got some work to do, if this survey is any indicator. Personally I'd rather keep the box of chocolates then give it to any politician.We are preparing a nice chocolate basket for our kid's school teachers.

Do you remember Willy Wonka and the Oompa-Loompas? For me it's Gene Wilder, but maybe you're of the Johnny Depp generation. I loved the chocolate river and my imagination wants to believe every chocolate factory has one. If you need a dose of reality, HERSHEY's has a video tour of their factory. (Note: it's a little dated like Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy) Here's some interesting facts I dug up

As the inaugural post to WITM's blog, what would be more fitting than a brief discussion on the use of Hershey bars. Being the owner of WrappedInTheMoment.com I see Hershey bars as great way to leave a sweet impression.
