These Sweet and Salty Peanut Butter cookies I posted yesterday deserve to be gifted, they are that good.
This treat box project is the perfect compliment to these sweet and savoury cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate is melted in a mixture of butter and vanilla flour and eggs and then topped with a salty, peanut butter cream cheese frosting.

Step 4
Starting from the bottom end, fold in the first flap underneath the next.
Step 5
Working each flap into the other until you form a box.
Step 6
Fold into a box shape.
Step 7
Fold flaps on top to secure until you glue into place.
Step 8
Secure the bottom using a glue gun or tape.

Step 12
Then top with your favourite bow or something like this coffee filter palm fan leaf I made (see instructions below).
Coffee Filter Palm Leaf (Bows)
You will need:
-Pour-over style coffee filters in different sizes. I used Size 2 for these smaller leaves, however for the demo I used larger ones for visuals.
-Glue gun or tape
– Scissors
Step 1
Place 2 of the same sized filters together. At a 45 degree angle, start to fold (accordian-style) working your way across from one end to the other.
Step 2
Separate the filters. Then place the same sized end of one filter, against the other and glue together using a glue gun. You could also tape, however keep in mind it might not look as finished as a glued one.
Step 3
Then gather the bottom end of the two glued pieces to create a fan-like form. Using an extra filter, cut a strip off one end. Then glue it to cover the end, wrapping it around like a stem. Secure at the end of the strip with more glue (or tape).
Step 4
Attach the bow to the top of the box using a bit glue.
