I only needed one candy from the file to make the box so I deleted the other two, but kept all three of the labels since I was making three boxes. I sized the height of the box to 4" leaving the aspect ratio locked.
I rotated the candy to straighten it then used the knife tool and sliced across the bottom. I made a duplicate of the candy and black layer and set aside.
I created a 2" x 6 1/2" rectangle and aligned it on the grid, centering the candy. I drew two lines at the 1/2" mark from top and bottom of the rectangle. I selected the candy and made a mirror image down and moved that with my arrow keys aligning the bottom of each candy with the lines I just made.
Double clicking on the rectangle brings up the point editing, I clicked and made two points close to the side of both candies. I dragged the point closest to the candy down to the bottom corner of it and the other point I move slightly over. You can see in the photo above.
I continued to point edit the other side and then added two vertical lines, I changed all the lines I made to score lines and grouped them together.
Selecting the two candies and rectangle box I welded them all together, then grouped the box and score lines.
You can either put the black layer for the eyes and mouth inside or you can do a release compound path on the box and get rid of the eyes and mouth and use the duplicate layer for the top. That's what I did so I could use 6 x 6 pieces from the Cream & Sugar paper pad.
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
