Posted by Betty Miller on February 21st, 2020

These days, if you are short on time, you can easily send chocolate gift baskets online and thrill your loved ones. Or, you can also use a bit of creativity and put together a lovely gift basket yourself, without spoiling your budget. Take a look at the tips to get started.

Keep raw materials handy

Every DIY project needs some basic raw materials to get the job done well. A chocolate basket is no different. So, make sure you have glue, sealing tape and scissors in place. For the basket, you can choose an actual wicker basket or go quirky with a large and shallow vase, a big bowl, or a picnic basket. Colourful planters, sturdy plastic containers, or even an ice bucket can work.

Keep tissues or pretty hand towels or tea towels handy, to line the basket and cushion the chocolates and any other gifts. For basket filler, you can use artificial grass, shredded coloured craft paper or straw. To wrap up, get colourful cellophane and some pretty bows or ribbons.

Things to put in

It goes without saying that a chocolate basket should ideally comprise of different kinds of chocolate bars, truffles, candies, fudge brownies, cookies or even pretzels or wafers dipped in chocolate. What you include will depend on your budget and what is easily available at your local stores. Flavours can range from dark, milk and nutty to fruity, spicy, minty, and coffee.

Strawberries or cherries coated with chocolate or Belgian chocolates can lend a luxurious touch, even in small quantities. Children will especially love chocolates shaped like animals, Christmas trees, baubles, toys and so on, if the occasion demands. Feel free to include homemade chocolates or brownies if you love baking.read more...https://www.giftsnideas.com/gifts/guide-on-tasty-chocolate-basket
