Essentials by Ellen November Release Blog Hop! (+ PRIZES!)

Hey there and welcome to my stop on the Ellen Hutson November Release Blog Hop! I’m so glad you’re here!

Today I’m sharing a super cute new addition to Ellen’s packaging lineup: the Bon Bon Box! Oh my gosh you all, this box is super easy to assemble — and super super cute too!

To assemble, just cut the box die twice, line up the square base and adhere together — it’s all scored and ready to roll! Pretty genius if you ask me. Then fold the flaps up, add in your little treat and that’s that.

I stamped mine with the new In the Weeds set by Brandi — ahhh this set has so many possibilities! I have a card to share in an upcoming post where I colored it with pencil, but for this bonbon box I kept it simple and just inked it with party dress and tiki torch inks.

Now let’s talk about what to put inside the bonbon box!

I can think of so many things to put in these bonbon boxes — but lately I’ve been into making different kinds of bites so I decided to go with them!

Minimalist Baker has so many great bite recipes and I’ve been eating my way through them! MB has a ton of other good recipes too! Call me a fan girl. Anyhow, back to the bites:

• The first photos have these Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites — oh my, so good!
• The next photos are 5 Ingredient Protein Bites — YUM!
• I’ve also made these PB+J Bites — Jason loved these!
• I can’t wait to try these Golden Milk Bites — since the weather has gotten colder I’ve been making golden milk about every night :)

To finish off my box I used the “bon appetit” sentiment from the new Small Sayings set along with the new Mini Tags die cuts. So many possibilities here — I can see making these for birthday parties, book club, a crafternoon or a birthday party!
