    So I am having a vintage-themed wedding. I was a little intrigued by the personalized candy bars available for weddings but at the same time feel they lack a bit of character and  are not to mention UBER expensive.

    In any case, I was inspired by this http://www.intimateweddings.com/blog/make-wedding-candy-bar-wrappers-from-comic-books/ and decided to make my own creations!

    So here are my vintage candy bars. I used Aero bars, and then found a whole bunch of old school comic books (one great one was the "Young in Love" comic series that I found!)....The total cost for about 80-90 bars was probably something like 100$ or so total....and it only took maybe 2-3 hours. Fiance had lots of fun helping me put these together haha.

    Aerobars....its chocolate with air bubbles in it.....I'm from canada do you not have it in the states?? I think Mirage is its equivalent....caramilk and aero bars are the only ones I could find with the foil wrapper.

    Those sound really cool and yum!  No there's nothing like that in the states unfortunatly.  (That I know of.)  But I can't WAIT to go back to Switzerland, I miss Kinder stuff!  Do you have Kinder in Canada?

    Oh, I love Aerobars.  I don't think we have anything like that in the states.  The first time I experienced it was in England.  I LOVE your candy bars.  They look awesome!
