Cover your foam. When using a glass vase, wrap your floral foam in tissue paper in the color of your choice in order to keep the foam from being seen through the glass. Also do this if you are using a box, for a more aesthetically pleasing look. - 5). Place your foam with the tissue paper covering inside of your chosen base.
- 6). Arrange your chocolate bars prior to placing them into the foam. Choose the design pattern you want to have them arranged in once they are inside of the vase or box, and then trim the kabob skewers so that the stems are different lengths. Try different patterns, such as smaller chocolate bars in the front, medium in the middle and larger ones in the back, or vice versa.
