Grind around 10-12 butter cookies (good day or sunfeast delights) in a food processor along with 2 tablespoons of milk. Keep processing until the mixture comes together as a dough. Then freeze this dough for around 10 minutes. Prepare lemon sized balls from this dough and dip it in melted dark chocolate. Drizzle some white chocolate over the truffles or sprinkle some cookie crumbs to make it look attractive. Voila! This edible gift can satisfy any sweet tooth.

3. Chocolate Fudge Balls

In a saucepan, heat a cup of condensed milk along with 4 tablespoons of sifted cocoa powder. Keep cooking until the mixture reaches a soft ball consistency (when a portion of the mixture is dropped in cold water, it retains its shape). Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon of vanilla. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and then prepare lemon sized balls from the mixtures. Coat them with sweetened cocoa powder and refrigerate them until ready to serve.

4. Hot Chocolate On A Stick

Here is an easy way to whip up hot chocolate within a couple of minutes. Bring 1 cup of cream to a simmer and then add it to 1 cup of semi-sweet dark chocolate or white chocolate. Let the chocolate sit in the hot cream and then mix it until a homogeneous mixture. Then put the mixture in a mould and insert a stick in it. When it hardens, customize it by adding caramel sauce and cocoa powder or by mixing white and dark chocolate together. Wrap it up in a fancy box and this edible gift will fetch you so much affection.

To make hot chocolate, boil 1 cup of milk and stir in your hot chocolate on a stick. Enjoy it hot!
