When I do the mini comp books, I just cut my cs to the hight of the book and a little more than twice the width. I then adhere the cs to one side, making sure it lines up right. I put adhesive on the binding as well, makes the hold stronger and it wont gap when it is opened. Fold around tightly and adhere the back. Use craft knife to cut away extra cs. Then have fun decorating.
For the candy bar wrapper, yyou can either measure all the way around and add about 1/2" for overlap, or you can remove the wrapper and use it as a template. If you remove the wrapper, it will look much nicer than just covering it up.
Good luck and have fun.

Here are the directions for a candy bar wrapper that I have (sorry don't remember who originally posted them, but I did get them from here somewhere).

Cut a piece of cardstock 5 11/16" X 7"
Score along 5 11/16" side at 1/2" and 3 1/8"
Stamp outside and fold along scores
Adhere back seam and bottom. Crimp bottom if desired
Punch half circle at top using 1" circle punch (square would work too)
