You can excited your friends and family this Christmas by giving them rum truffles

A delicious unique gift for everyone on your Christmas list are rum truffles. Rum truffles have a great dense texture on the outside, but are supple and moist inside. These are simply made from a mixture of chopped chocolates, cream, butter, chocolate cake crumbs, dark rum, and chocolate sprinkles. Let the mix sit for a while until it can easilybe shaped after it is done cooking.

Next, roll them in chocolate sprinkles and chill in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes. Place them in cupcake sheets, put them in a box tied with a ribbon, and you'll have delightful Christmas presents for your loved ones.

If you want to give truffles but don't have the time to make them yourself, you may want to check the specialty chocolate shops that make them by hand.

You can find a listing of local chocolate shops in your local phone book or by searching on the Web. An example of a search would be the entry of "truffles Michigan" that would list candy shops that sell truffles in Michigan.

Surprise kids with assorted-shaped and chocolate-coated white chocolate

For an enchanting Christmas or birthday, surprise a child with chocolate-coated white chocolates in assorted shapes.

These are extremely easy and enjoyable to produce. To begin, you need buy a white chocola
te bar, melt it, and pour it in a mold.

Shape the white chocolate candies depending on the occasion or the recipient's preferences. Christmas presents can be adorned with candy canes, christmas tree ornaments, an alphabet letter, a number or even a favorite character.

Chocolate bits or chopped nuts can also be added to white chocolate to create handmade goodies that look very interesting. Allow the white chocolate to harden afterwards.

After the white chocolate has hardened, dip the candies in melted milk chocolate and let dry before packaging.

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

Peanut butter rice krispies dessert is a perrenial favorite no matter what age you are or what event you are celebrating. With the right combination of rice krispies, butter, marshmallows, peanut butter, white chocolate chips, and melted chocolate, your sweet treat will conquer the mouths of many dessert lovers. First, heat the butter, marshmallows, and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring every minute for three minutes, until rich and smooth.

Add the rice krispies and white chocolate chips and mix slowly. 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. Lastly, sprinkle the molten chocolate over the rice crispies.

Let it set. You may also slice the treat and place them in cut cookie or cupcake sheets. Now you are set to give this personal gift you made to some person who is special to you.

There are several more handmade candy gift options to suit any age. After you feel confident making these unique candies, you may try to come up with your own and make your own special modifications based on what the recipient likes. Life is, indeed, very sweet.
