The best software for laying out graphics and creating packaging is Adobe InDesign, but it's not cheap unless you are a student.

I have used WrapCandy for eons: http://wrapcandy.com/. I am not a professional crafter but it's really popular with that set. They share templates, help and everything on the forum. I can highly recommend the program. I have been using it for years. Welcome to the candy world. It's so much fun. My friends and family love to get my candy gifts.

I would second InDesign. I use it daily at work but wish I had it at home. There's a "creative suite" that has a bundle with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. It's pricey, like Understand blue said, unless you can get a student rate, but it's an amazing program. CS 4 is the current version, but you might be able to buy 3 on eBay for cheaper.

I have a candy making business that I don't really advertise as much any more but I did use the Wrapcandy Software and its really great. There is a forum on there where they share all kinds of templates and will help you with anything and everything,
