It’s almost that time of the year again. That time of the year when family and friends come together. It’s the time of year when people make time to see their friends and it should be the perfect time as well to make gifts for your friends. This chocolate almond ginger bark recipe is the perfect gift to make and give to lots of people. It’s the kind of gift that is easy to make but looks much more difficult.

Making your own gifts can feel daunting.  It feels like you have to prepare for weeks in order to make a simple gift that you could buy at the store for only a small amount of money. The beauty about making your own gifts is that it shows care and thoughtfulness. No matter what I handmade gift is always more appreciated than something story bought.

Making your own gifts can become addictive. Creating something from scratch that looks so professional can be extremely rewarding. The special feeling you get from gifting something that you made personally is fantastic. The recipient will also appreciate the time and effort you put into making a gift from scratch. Everyone appreciates the time and effort making something from scratch takes and so when they discover your chocolate almond bark was made by hand they will appreciate it all the more.

Don’t let the effort of the holidays overwhelm you. There can be a lot of pressure to be perfect in every way at the holidays, especially if children are involved wanting to create the absolutely perfect Christmas like the ones we probably never had. Christmas isn’t just about the perfect decorations and the perfect gift, Christmas is about friends and family and experiences. Kids are more likely to remember the special moments than they are to remember specific gifts, so why not create special moments by making your own gifts and making a big fuss about how they are personally made and therefore will taste better. In fact why not make creating chocolate almond bark from scratch part of your Christmas traditions.

With chocolate almond bark kids can decorate it themselves with extra candy canes sprinkles or any sort of sugar decoration by pressing it in while the chocolate is still warm. In fact for children who are intolerant to nuts why not add candied lemon or orange peel to melted tempered chocolate and help them make their own chocolate bars.

Chocolate gifts can be amazing fun. Helping kids create their own chocolate gifts, like the chocolate almond bark, to give as gifts to their teachers or friends can be a very special way to celebrate Christmas.

Create special memories this Christmas by using this chocolate almond bark recipe to start a new tradition of making your own Christmas gifts. It can be a new fun way to create personalised gifts for everyone.
