Whipped up some kits for a gathering of paper crafting friends this past weekend. I added Dove Peanut Butter Chocolates and Lindor Truffles in Halloween colors. I included a quick write up with the supplies and dimensions in case you want to make a few. I don't have time for a detailed tutorial. My templates and designs are shared for free.
