Nothing says ‘love’ like a homemade gift. These delicious ideas make the perfect edible gifts – at Christmas (or really, any time of the year!).

And, you’re giving the lucky recipient their daily dose of nuts.

Roasted nuts, two ways

Crunchy spiced nuts and chilli and lime roasted nuts are both simple and oh-so-delicious recipes! Package in a small jar with a handmade card for the perfect gift that suits almost anyone.

To-die-for truffles

Creamy chocolate truffles are always welcome gifts. Our luscious choc walnut truffles are no exception! Tuck a few into a little box with a festive ribbon for a homemade gift that looks anything but.

Crunchy nut brittle

Take your nuts to the next level with a box of crunchy chocolate nut brittle or almond brittle (or a mixture of both!). Make this recipe any time during December and it’ll be ready to take to any social gathering.

Christmas panforte

Chocolate panforte is a Christmas favourite for a reason. This traditional treat makes a thoughtful gift on its own, or pull together a gourmet hamper with artisan tea and coffee for an even more personal touch.
