I once made one of my sons into a sweet by making a box he could wear around his body with twist ends sticking out. It was held up by over the sholder straps. does that help as a start? there is a photo on my personal site. I think it's the second one down on the 1st page.

One thought, we once inherited a couple of costumes circa 1930's when we moved into a house. One was a box of Swan Vesta matches which was made in the style of a double sided sandwich board with ties at the shoulders and sides. As an aside, my sister and cousin once won 1st prize in a couples fancy dress competion using that costume, my cousin wore the match box and my sister dressed in a white fabric tube with a couple of pairs of tan hose over her head... Match and Box!! Any way could you use the sandwich board idea and use cardboard as a base? With brown fabric or felt prahaps you could make chocolate,I was thinking padded squares prahaps a hot glue gun would come in usefull. What about the "Wonka" wrapper usualy purple I think but have it torn off to expose the chocolate. Could it have a bite out of it? Hope that helps
