Perfect for the holiday season to eat yourself or give as gifts. So today I decided to do something a little different with this round-up of some of my favourite bloggers’ easy peasy homemade chocolate gifts. I included one or two slightly more involved recipes, just because they were so beautiful, but most of these can be made in barely more than 15 minutes.
Do you ever walk through a store or browse photos on Pinterest and think, "I can make that?" If so, you're in the right place! From planning my kid's birthday parties to creating decorations for my home, my motto is "I can make that." I love creating new things. And I love showing other people how to have an amazing DIY lifestyle. Take a look around to find fun DIY party ideas, cute crafts for kids, simple recipes, and lots of farmhouse style crafts for your home. After deciding on your hot chocolate, it’s time to add some marshmallows!
PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS WITH MUMS MAKE LISTS
To repackage all your hot chocolate supplies, try using clear plastic treat bags. Sometimes, you can find these bags at Dollar Tree. But if you don’t see any at your store, you can also get them in the party section of Wal-Mart.
Pile them into a jar, tie with a ribbon, and you’ve got a perfect little last-minute gift. After melting 200g of chocolate, spread it across a parchment-lined baking tray. 70% dark chocolate pairs beautifully with the minty sweetness of the candy canes, but you could also try white chocolate for a snowy Christmas aesthetic. I used a plain red ribbon to attach the tag to the top of the chocolate spoons, but any type of ribbon would work well for this simple gift.

This is the fun part for the kids because they can be completely creative. You will just want to make sure that they have their idea ahead of time because once the chocolate or caramel dries, there will be no adding toppings! The key points in this step is to be quick and have fun. Say good-bye to store bought peanut butter cups, and say hello to these no bake chocolate covered bites.
