Why You’ll Love This Idea
• Budget-friendly
• Quick to assemble
• Kid-approved
• Pinterest cute
• Easy to batch for a whole classroom
This is one of those ideas that looks like you planned ahead… even if you didn’t.
What You’ll Need
- Clear treat bags (4×6 or similar size)
- Green foil Hershey Kisses
- Printed “Irish Kisses” bag toppers
- White cardstock (for printing)
- Stapler or mini binder clips
- Optional: green ribbon for extra flair
That’s it.
Step 1: Fill the Bags
Add 6–10 green Hershey Kisses to each clear treat bag.
You want the bag to look full but not stuffed. Leaving a little space at the top makes it easier to fold and attach your printable.
Pro tip: Turn the Kisses so the green foil faces outward for a cleaner look in photos.
Step 2: Print Your Bag Toppers
Print your “Irish Kisses” design on white cardstock for a sturdier, more polished finish.
If you’re using a printable sized for treat toppers, print multiple per sheet and cut them evenly with a paper cutter for clean edges.
For a standard topper:
- 4 inches wide
- 2 inches tall (before folding)
Fold each printable in half horizontally so it creates a header for the top of the bag.
Step 3: Attach the Topper
Fold the top of the treat bag down slightly.
Place the folded printable over the top edge of the bag.
Secure it with:
- Two staples (one on each side), or
- A small gold or green mini binder clip, or
- A hole punch and green ribbon for an elevated look
If you’re making these for a classroom, staples are quickest. If you’re styling them for photos or gifting to teachers, ribbon makes them extra special.
Step 4: Make It Pinterest-Worthy
If you want your photos to pop:
• Use a light wood or white surface
• Add a small potted plant in the background
• Scatter a few extra Kisses around the base
• Keep the styling clean and simple
Avoid clutter. The retro green lettering and shiny foil already do the work.
When to Use These
These Irish Kisses treat bags are perfect for:
• Classroom Valentine box swaps (St. Patrick’s edition)

Storage Tips
Store assembled treat bags in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to hand them out.
If making them ahead, keep them away from heat so the chocolate stays perfect.

A bag of chocolate + a festive printable + a little green sparkle is all it takes to make something feel special.
These Irish Kisses are sweet, easy, and guaranteed to bring a little luck to someone’s day.
