ITH Candy Huggers from Embroidery Library
Made these for my grandchildren. They were quick and easy to make.
However, if you want to be able to put more than a quarter into the pocket, might I suggest that you don't use the die line pre-cut method illustrated in the instructions, but place an ample folded rectangle of fabric over the placement line with a wad of cotton ball underneath; re-run the placement line to tack it down. Cut away the excess fabric and continue with the applique/satin stitch. This will give you a little more room in the pocket and you will be able to stash a small chocolate heart in there as shown in the picture.
Thanks for looking

You're welcome - I ran one according to the instructions that came with the designs and the pocket was really tight, making it difficult to get a piece of candy into it and the candy would fall out when you picked it up. This improvised method seems to do the trick.

I sure hope so - but then they're hugging chocolate, so it's almost guaranteed! ;-)

I'm pretty sure an egg would fit, since there is room within the arms, just not in the pocket. I had tried a larger chocolate heart and it was tight, but it did fit.
