Why wax paper

Why Use Wax Paper for Candy?

Wax paper candy wrappers give you a ready-made, single-piece wrapper for candy you've cut into individual pieces.

  • Pre-cut sheets: no need to cut individual wrapper pieces
  • Defined size: every sheet is 5 × 5 inches
  • Double-sided wax coating: part of the documented product construction
  • Twist or fold: close each wrapper the way that suits the candy's shape
  • Made for specific candy: positioned for caramels, taffy and soft homemade candy

Wax paper isn't better than every other wrapper. If you want the candy to show through, see the cellophane comparison.
