What kind of candy? Individual pieces? A block of fudge? Individually
wrapped? A friend lines a tin with waxed paper and
lays/piles/stacks/smashes her ace peanut brittle in it. I used to make
several kinds of candies and would put them in paper pleated candy cups
(Maid of Scandinavia/Sweet Celebrations/Wilton) and box them. Pretty
spiffy looking if I do say. I bought the boxes from the Maid, too.
(They're a local company.) Taffy wrappers are available for wrapping
caramels -- dump those into a tin. The candy boxes come in a variety of
sizes.
