Valentine's Day Candy Bar Treat

I have done this candy card for my husband a few times in 11 years. It is cheap and easy. All you need is a piece of poster board, a marker, and candy bars. Write a letter on the poster board to go with the candy. I use tape to put the candy on the poster board. My husband loves it! Here is the latest one I gave him:
To my HOT TAMALE,

I hope you SNICKER when you read this. I love you to PIECES (REESES). Your love is as exciting as getting 100 GRAND on PAYDAY to spend on 5th AVENUE. My HEART skips a beat each time you KISS (KISSABLES) me. You are a-MAZING and MOUNDS of fun. So sit back and TAKE 5 BABY (RUTH). Love your NUTRAGEOUS SWEETHEART!.

PS: I used a marker to darken the words on the candy I didn't use such as ABLE on KISSABLES.

Source: I came up with the idea for a letter after seeing all the "one-liners" (You're such a "SMARTIE") out there.

Really cute! We don't have all those brands of chocolate bars in Canada, but you've got me thinking of alternatives...
