Discover 7 creative recipes for chocolatey Christmas gifts that you can easily make with your children. Perfect for baking with kids during Advent!

Christmas without chocolate? Hard to imagine! For us, baking with children is just as much a part of the Advent season as candlelight and the smell of cookies. Chocolate makes Christmastime cozy – it decorates cookies, tastes amazing in hot milk, and brings bright smiles on St. Nicholas morning.

That’s why every year my minis and I create chocolatey Christmas gifts from the kitchen that we make together with the kids. These recipes are not only delicious, but also full of magical family moments where little hands can get creative.

And even if many of these ideas for chocolatey Christmas gifts technically fall more under “melting & decorating” than under “baking with kids”, they still create what really matters: shared time, creativity, and sweet treats straight from your Christmas kitchen.

Our 7 ideas for chocolatey homemade Christmas gifts

Christmas Turrón – our favorite

Our favorite among all chocolatey Christmas gifts – festive Turrón! Inspired by the Spanish version, but even more chocolatey and Christmassy. My minis especially loved decorating the chocolate with cookies, nuts & sweets in a festive style!
