There was a DECO CHOCO contest (by Meiji: one of Japan's leading confectioneries) few years ago. I came up with an idea making a 3D photo frame and I won a silver prize! At that time, I could only use Meiji's product but this time I used sweets from many other manufacturers.
I will list all the product details below but you can use any kind of chocolate bars and sweets to attach.

You can cover with a plastic wrap and save it. It lasts for more than a year in a cool place BUT it is not safe to eat after 3 days. LoL
It will be a great Valentine's Day gift for your loved one :)

Note:
Meiji's Yam Yam, Choco Baby, Poifull, Petitie 5-1 Choco, Takenoko No Sato… etc., colorful candies, gummy candies, are also cute. BUT don't use cotton candy. I tried and it looked pretty bad like mxxx…
I bought them all in packages but it is wise to go to Sweet Factory or any other sweets shops where they sell by measurement and get just one or two each. More colors and shapes you use, cuter it become!

---------------------------------
I bought some of them at DAISO (dollar shop). They have weird imported sweets like stone chocolate and flat heart. Oh, btw, I was looking for Meiji Twinkle Chocolate (明治 ツインクル) but I couldn't find it. It should be cute to add on your photo frame, if you know ;) hehe
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
