3 Handmade Candy Gift Ideas Everyone Will Love

For candy lovers, nothing pleases them more than receiving candy presents. No matter the occasion, kids will be ecstatic to receive handmade candy gifts. These are some fun and unique candy presents that are perfect for any age on any occasion:

Surprise your loved ones with rum truffles over the holidays

A delicious unique gift for everyone on your Christmas list are rum truffles. Rum truffles are perfectly firm on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside. These products are manufactured by rightly mixing chopped chocolates, cream, butter, chocolate cake crumbs, dark rum, and chocolate sprinkles. Cook the mixture, and set it aside until it is firm enough to shape into balls.

Then rool them in the chocolate sprinkles and refrigerate for a half an hour. Place them in small paper cups or small cupcake sheets, box them, tie with a ribbon, and voila, you have a delightful Christmas present for your family and friends.

If you think you might not have the time to make such a special treat, you can also visit chocolate shops that might just have the special handmade truffles you want to give.

Check the local directory or search the web to find chocolate stores around you. For instance, if you type in "truffles Michigan", you'll get a list of chocolate shops in Michigan selling truffles.

Surprise children with various shaped and chocolate coated candy

You can make a child's Christmas or birthday more unique and memorable by giving him assorted shapes and sizes of chocolate-coated white chocolates.

These are extremely easy and enjoyable to produce. First of all, buy a white chocolate bar and melt it then pour it in a mold.

Choose shapes for your white chocolate candies that suit the celebration and tickle your recipient's fancy. For birthday presents you can use alphabet, number, and character shapes and for Christmas presents, Christmas tree or candy cane shapes.

Chocolate bits or chopped nuts can also be added to white chocolate to create handmade goodies that look very interesting. Next, let the white chocolate set.

Once the white chocolate has hardened completely, dip the candies in the milk chocolate that you already melted and allow to dry before packaging.

It might be a good idea to give your friends a snack of peanut butter rice krispies

For any age and occasion, peanut butter rice krispies are surely a sweet, addicting gift. Rice Krispies, butter, marshmallows, peanut butter, white chocolate chips, and melted chocolate will create a treat for dessert lovers. First use a microwave to melt the butter, marshmallows and peanut butter, mixing for three minutes at one minute intervals, until it is rich and creamy.

Begin to mix slowly while adding white chocolate chips and rice krispies. Once the treats have been made, they should be pressed on a non-stick pan to prevent sticking, since you cannot properly serve the treats if they are stuck. Finally, take the melted milk chocolate and drizzle it on top of the rice krispies mixture.

Allow it to sit. You might prefer to cut the treat and put the slices in cookie or cupcake papers. Now you are all set to hand out these sweet handmade gifts to family members or special people in your life.

There are several more handmade candy gift options to suit any age. As a matter of fact, when you feel confident about making these exceptional treats, you can play around with your own ideas like adding candies or anything you thing that would fit and personalizing your sweets for the the recipients. Life is, indeed, very sweet.
