You’ll want to email this PDF file to your local copy store. Make sure you tell them the dimensions at 26 inches x 22 inches. If you don’t want to pay the cost of full color, you can print it in black and white. Whatever you prefer.

Buy and prep your candy bars

Some of these candy bars are easier to find at the grocery store than others. You can also check gas stations as well. Sometimes they have those hard-to-find candy bars. You can also buy them on Amazon as well. Here’s a list of the candy bars:

Make sure you buy the regular-sized candy bars and not the king-sized candy bars or they will not fit in the allotted space on the poster. Then, black out certain letters and words on the candy bars according to the picture above. I used a black permanent marker and it worked great.

Tape candy bars to the poster

Next, take each candy bar and tape them to the spot indicated on the poster. I included the name of each candy on the spot where it belongs on the poster to make it easier. I just used regular masking tape so that I can easily remove it afterwards and re-use the poster for another family member later.

Mount the candy bar poster

The last step for your birthday candy bar poster is to mount it to a larger poster board. You can buy one of those poster boards at the dollar store or you can purchase one here. I just taped it using duct tape. Or you can glue it, whatever you prefer. This gives the poster just a little big extra depth. However, you can skip this step if you prefer.
