[EllieMumsnet]

Christmas is just around the corner which for many means the present lists are out and shopping mode is on. Thinking of what special gifts to get for everyone can be quite a task, however good old homemade treats often spread Christmas joy the most. Cadbury would like to know your homemade gift ideas using chocolate.

Do you create little Christmas chocolate hampers or gift bags? Perhaps you bake a chocolate cake and use individual chocolates or crumbled Flake or Crunchie as decoration? Or maybe you melt your favourite Cadbury chocolate and turn it into lollipops or transform it into your own bespoke chocolate bark to hand out?

Whatever your homemade chocolate gift ideas, share them on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw where one lucky MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Delicious chocolate fudge with sprinkles! :)

we use sweet comes to fill with hot chocolate powder & marshmallows for my son's teachers

DS and I are experimenting with hot chocolate stirrers. Melt chocolate, pour into a mould, add toppings and a stick and leave to set. The first couple we tried using shot glasses as moulds which was good as we could melt the chocolate directly in them in the microwave for minimal wastage but getting them out once set was tricky! Silicon ice cube trays are on order...
I also quite fancy making some bark now I have read this thread. Love mint chocolate!

homemade xmas tree decorations are good fun to make

This year as a gift for my nan, I will be making sugar free Chocolate fudge. It is her favourite but unfortunately she has recently been told she has diabetes!

I make tray bakes topped with dairy milk, cut into small squares and put in pretty boxes

This year I’m making mint aero, crunchie and malteser slice

I make christmas pudding with dark chocolate, roll it into small balls, top with a bit of white chocolate and some snipped place cherries and angelica to make mini christmas pudding truffles.

We make homemade fudge using copious amounts of chocolate (luckily the Tesco Value 30p bars are excellent) using the slow cooker.

We melt chocolate and then dip fruit or giant marshmallows, easy but delicious

Cherries soaked in brandy, then coated in chocolate.....heavenly

chocolate lollipops the children love making them and eating them

i always make chocolate yule log at christmas

Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie Mix from Costco makes the most divine Brownies. You can customise it by adding all sorts of things, or using the mix in different ways. To make Christmas Brownies, add cinnamon, clove, and dried fruits that have been soaked overnight in booze. Or top them with ganache mixed with fat-free mincemeat.

whiteschocolate snowmen lollies with cadbury''s buttons for their buttons of course!

Not really a gift but we sometimes melt a lot of chocolate and sprinkle in a load of sweeties etc.. and make into slabs for Santas treat on Xmas Eve.

we melt our chocolate and make rice crispy cakes

Ginger bread cookies dipped in chocolate are rather nice.

Some of my family are vegan so we make vegan truffles by processing figs, dates, avocado and mixing with chopped nuts and melted dark chocolate. we shape them in balls and coat on cocoa or desiccated coconut and freeze them until ready to eat.

Use large ice cube trays and fill with melted chocolate and a range of fillings such as popping candy, marshmallows or nuts. Set in fridge and job done. Children love it and no mess.

Ps silicone trays best as homemade crocs easy to remove,

we make rice krispie, dairy milk and mini marshmallow buns in small cupcake cases, we put them in pretty gift boxes and give them to grandparents. They are a tasty chewy delicacy, easy to make, and keep the little ones entertained and the fact they are helping with Christmas maked them burst with pride when giving the gift.

Chocolate brownies made with cranberries and cherries, cut into little squares and popped in cellophane bags tied with acres of Christmas ribbon always looks pretty.

Got some christmas cake and lolly moulds and make gooey chocolate brownies and melt chocolate to make chocolate shapes rather than lollies.

Cadbury's chocolate brownies, cut into triangles then zig-zagged with melted chocolate to look like Christmas trees. We used to use Astros as baubles... I keep hoping they will make a comeback! Along with Marble bars

I am making a mountain of rocky road to give as gifts - lots of allergies at DS' nursery so some made rocky road is perfect - nut free, can use vegan friendly chocolate, gluten free biscuits

I'm also going to make some yummy vegan "ferrero rocher" style treats - if any make it out of "testing" they will be gifts too

Home made chocolate truffles as they can be personalized to a persons taste
