INFOGRAPHIC SERIES - Chocolate bar with Wrapper

Create this chocolate bar with wrapper. Make the wrapper look like wrinkles and nice squares of delicious chocolate. And of course, it is easy to build, and look cool too.

---

Create a square, filled with a chocolate color

Draw lines at a 45° angle so they meet precisely at the corners. The color of the stroke is not relevant as they will disappear. 

Select the lines and the square and choose the Divide mode n the Pathfinder Panel.

---

Ungroup the shapes after the Divide mode has been applied. These are broken apart to show the sections. 

Add a lighter or darker color to each section. 

Add a square to the top of the sections, select all the shapes and group them. 

Create a series of sections to make it look like a bar of chocolate. 

---

Create a new rectangle. Apply a Roughen Effect to the shape using the Effects>Distort & Transform>Roughen.

This is the result or hard corners, low size and low detail. Copy this shape for later use as well.

Create a rectangle over the bar. This is the wrapper.

---

Copy the roughen shape and place it over the wrapper at an angle. Choose both the wrapper and the roughen, then choose the Minus Front Mode in the Pathfinder Panel.

The result looks like a torn wrapper. 

Create a new rectangle for the gold foil. Copy the roughen shape and apply it to the foil. Select both, choose Minus Front Mode and have the foil cut off. 
​
Copy the foil piece for later.

---

Place the foil on the bar, then the wrapper on top. Choose Object>Arrange to bring things front or back. 

To add a wrinkled paper look to the wrapper and foil, check out a former blog post HERE for the details on this. 

Copy the vector paper after you have created it. ​

Choose the wrapper, click on the Draw Inside Mode at the bottom of the Tool Bar. Paste the paper look into it. 

Choose the Opacity link and set the Blending mode to Multiply and opacity of the wrinkle look at 60%.

---

---

Repeat the process with the Foil as well. 

With the previous foil copy, fill it with a darker color and set the Opacity to 60%, Blend Mode To Multiply.

Pull the shadow shape into the edge of the bar and you are done!
