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.
