Chocolate balls

Easy to make, and a great gift to get the littlies involved with, these biscuits look as good as they taste. Not only can the kids help roll, cut and cook these biscuits, they can also add their own custom decorations. Our advice is to stick to one-coloured icing to keep things easy, or use ready-made fondant icing to create mini-works of art.

Rocky road

Made with a mix of our favourite ingredients like marshmallows, jelly lollies and chocolate, there's little wonder why rocky road is so popular. The key to successful rocky road is to have everything chopped up and ready to go before you get started. Let the kids help add everything to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir before you take over tipping it into a slice tray to set.

How to package them up

There are a number of ways the kids can package up their edible gifts to make them even more special. Here are a few of our favourites:

  • Place chocolates in small paper bags or boxes that the kids can decorate.
  • Fill an oversized coffee mug with homemade chocolates, rocky road or balls. Place the mug in the centre of a large piece of cellophane and tie it around the mug to finish.
  • Make a cardboard cone and fill it with your handmade treats. Wrap the cone in cellophane and secure with a ribbon.
  • Let the kids create hand drawn tags to add to their creations.
