1cupred, green, and white candy and sprinkles (various kinds that won't shatter)
2red pull and peel licorice twists
2red fruit by the foot
Instructions
Put the candy wafers in three small microwave-safe bowls. Melt in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute and then stir. Continue heating at 50% power in 10-second intervals, stirring after each time, until smooth. Drizzle the melted red and green candy wafers into the silicone mold. Top with a spoonful of the melted white candy wafers.
Tilt the mold to allow the melted candy wafers to flow around the cups in the mold.
Use the back of a spoon to fully coat the sides.
Allow the candy coating to harden. Remelt the white candy wafers and add a second layer to the rectangles.
Allow the second layer to harden and then remove the rectangles from the silicone mold. (Wear gloves to prevent fingerprints from getting on the smooth candy coating.)
Warm a skillet over medium heat and then remove from heat. Rub the edges of the chocolate rectangles on the warm skillet to smooth the edges.
Fill half of the rectangles with various kinds of candy and sprinkles that won't shatter.
Rub the edges of the empty rectangles on the warm skillet and then immediately place them on the filled rectangles. Smooth out the seam with your fingertip.
Use the red pull and peel licorice and fruit by the foot to create ribbons on the chocolate gifts.

Notes
One: Chocolate
You can use chocolate chips or chocolate baking bars to make these gifts. You may need to add a teaspoon of shortening per 6 ounces of chocolate when melting it to make it thin enough to coat the silicone mold.
Two: Gloves
I like to wear disposable gloves when handling the chocolate gifts to help prevent getting fingerprints on the shiny coating.
