Share with Cadbury your homemade chocolate gift ideas - chance to win £300 voucher NOW CLOSED

[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!

Do not make chocolates often, too difficult but we do make some chooclate santas from moulds at christmas

Homemade white chocolate cornflake cakes!

Chocolate vodka gifts. Worked for us!

We make chocolate truffles. One set with rum in for the adults, and one without, for the kids. Then we try to remember which are which!

We made chocolate bark one year - swirl melted milk/white/dark chocolate together on a baking tray covered in clingfilm, then sprinkle with nuts, fudge pieces, popping candy etc. Dead easy.

Maybe not exactly homemade chocolate but one year I bought some personalised Christmas kit Kat wrappers. Took the proper ones off some KitKats and replaced them with mine.

We make white chocolate bark with dried cranberries and crystallised ginger dipped in dark chocolate

Chocolate muffins and rice crispy cakes

An old silver spoon, engraved with their name, then the bowl of it dipped into melted chocolate and a marshmallow stuck to it, for a hot chocolate stirrer

We ve done ‘luxury’ hot chocolate in a nice jar. There are quite a few recipes on the internet but the idea is that you layer things like cocoa or chocolate powder, sugar, grated chocolate and marshmallows. Some recipes have cinnamon, horlicks or crushed candy cane.

Milk choc and crispie balls, drizzled white choc on top and use a mould for green icing holly leaves. Add red icing ‘berries’ and voila mini Christmas pud treats. We make these every year, the kids love them!

We do chocolate rice krispie cakes in christmas themed cases with red and green sprinkles :)

Homemade gluten free chocs I made for my celiac DD

We're making chocolate fudge for Christmas gifts this year. Yum yum yum!

We make rice crispie or corn flake cakes in Christmas and put logos on each cake, so santa, disney characters etc

We make Christmas reindeer biscuits using a cutter and dip the antlers into melted chocolate and leave to set.

I make chocolate covered Brazil nuts for family every year :)

Mini snowballs

Grated Bournville chocolate mixed with broken up Christmas pudding (add a dash of orange juice if a bit dry to mix or a dash your favorite tipple if for adults).

Roll into bite sized balls, poke in a cocktail stick (flat end) dip in melted white chocolate stick into a apple or potato cut in half (to hold them up) then sprinkle in desiccated coconut.

Yum

No bake Chocolate Baileys Truffles. Easy as. Chocolate, Baileys, butter, cream. Melt. Mix. Chill. Form into balls. Dust with cocoa powder (if you want to). Jobs a good 'un.

Cornflakes cakes with red an green smarties for a Christmassy decoration.

The chocolate HAS to be Cadburys and our secret ingredient are a few Walkers ready salted crisps (sounds odd but trust me, they are lush!)

My children make Rudolph Krispy cakes with melted milk chocolate, rice krispies, raisins and Glacé cherries for Rudolphs nose and broken pretzels for antlers and thats what gets left out for Father Christmas on Christmas eve
Just like in the picture

I always used to make mint creams and half dip them in chocolate, then wrap them in cellophane and give them as gifts. Now my kids are a bit older, I can do that with them!

I make ginger gin, and when I've strained it, I mix the 'waste' ginger pieces with melted dark chocolate and let it set in the fridge. It's absolutely gorgeous - ginger gin chocolate. It works well with damsons too (both the gin and the chocolates), but make sure you squeeze as much gin out as possible, otherwise it won't set.

I love to make good ol' chocolate christmas cakes and cookies :)

Not sure about gift ideas.....but DS (6) has asked for a Chocolate DanTDM for Christmas in his stocking!!!
Help :/

We make Cadbury's hot chocolate but from chocolate, by melting the chocolate and slowly adding it to hot milk, as it's extra chocolatey and star/xmas tree rice crispie cakes.

Also use Cadbury's to make my chocolate xmas log cake fondant which everyone loves.
