The festive season always calls for yummy treats! Whether you need inexpensive presents for your co-workers or to take a hostess gift along to one of your many Christmas get-togethers, finding a homemade gift that is simple to create is a godsend at this time of year. Here are five wickedly delicious chocolate treats that you’ll love for the festive season. But they can also double as wedding favours your guests will go crazy for!

Chocolate Shortbread Heart Favour Recipe 

If you decide not to use these cookies as favours, they could be on offer on a table near the dance floor or served as part of a dessert buffet. There is no doubt that your guests will love these chocolate shortbread cookies. And the best thing is that you will love them too.

Striped Chocolate Hearts

Just a little bite-sized piece of heaven – chocolate, of course – makes the perfect festive treat to share with someone you love.

Cookies and Cream Cups Recipe

These superbly easy cookies and cream cups are a great way of making something a little different to include in your morning tea repertoire. Think of white chocolate rocky road laden with chunks of Oreo – the perfect addition to a bridal shower dessert buffet or wrapped and presented as a wedding favour to your guests. Superb – but they do come with a warning though – they won’t last long!

White Chocolate, Cranberry and Pistachio Rocky Road 

The white chocolate mixed with the red of the cranberry, the green of the pistachio and the white of the macadamia just shouts ‘Christmas’ in all the best ways.

Baileys Irish Cream Hot Chocolate 

While I’m fully aware this is a ‘winter warmer’ recipe, there is also something very festive about curling up with a hot chocolate by the tree during Christmas time. Santa loves himself a little cuppa of hot chocolate too, so be sure to make an extra cup for the guy with the pressies!
