  • Center and wrap: place the caramel on the sheet and bring the cellophane around it
  • Twist to close: twist both ends; the listing says no tape or heat sealer is needed

  • Center it: place the taffy in the middle of the sheet
  • Twist the ends: wrap the cellophane around the piece and twist both ends closed
Taffy how-to

How to Wrap Taffy in Cellophane

The steps are simple. What takes the most thought with taffy is matching the sheet to the piece, because taffy can be cut into many different lengths.

  1. Select a sheet size

    Lay a piece of taffy on a sheet. You need enough cellophane to go around it and to twist at both ends.

  2. Center the taffy

    Place the piece in the middle of the sheet.

  3. Wrap it

    Bring the cellophane around the candy.

  4. Twist the ends

    Twist both ends closed, then move on to the next piece.

Longer pieces generally need a longer sheet; shorter pieces may fit a smaller one. Wrap a test piece before ordering a full pack.

Choosing a Wrapper Size for Caramels

Caramels are cut in many sizes, so no single wrapper size fits every caramel. Start here:

Wrap one of your caramels in a sheet to check the fit before buying a full pack.

Choosing a Wrapper Size for Taffy

The same framework works for taffy, but the final choice depends on the actual size and shape of your pieces:

Cellophane or Wax Paper for Caramels?

Both are used to wrap caramels one piece at a time. Neither is better for every candy; the choice comes down to the look and format you want.

Clear cellophane

  • Clear, so the candy shows through
  • Pre-cut sheets in three sizes
  • Documented for caramels and taffy
  • Twist the ends closed

Wax paper

  • Wax-coated paper
  • 5 × 5 inch sheets
  • Documented for caramels, taffy and soft homemade candy
  • Twist or fold the ends

If transparent presentation is important, clear cellophane provides a see-through wrapper. If you specifically want wax paper, Fiesta Wraps also offers wax paper candy wrappers.
