DIY Christmas Chocolate Candy Wreath

This Christmas wreath tutorial shows you how to make a Chocolate Candy bar Wreath. Now this wreath is not for your front door obviously but it is a yummy scrummy wreath for inside. This DIY Chocolate candy wreath is a great gift for neighbours and family who love chocolate. I love to give out Lolly tree’s to families at Christmas time. It is a gift that is for everyone in the family and just the price of some simple supplies and chocolates. Gifting a box of Chocolate in a handmade wreath or Christmas tree makes it that little bit extra special.

What you need –

One metal wreath ring or a bent coat hanger.

Some curling ribbon

A bow for the top

A box of Chocolates

To create your wreath tie curling ribbon on to the ends of the Chocolate candy wrappers. You can either tie them directly to the ring or leave a small length and tie them on later after you have tied the ribbon to all the chocolates. I prefer to tie them on as I go, but I do try and layout my color scheme first.

Keep tieing them on to the wreath ring until it looks full and is nice and thick.

Finish off your Candy Wreath with a Bow at the top and a loop for hanging. If you are using a coat hanger, simply bend the coat hook around to form the hanging loop.

Here are some of my Christmas Lolly Trees I have made and their free tutorials to share with you too.

I’m completely smitten with the idea of Dubai-style desserts — elegant, a touch exotic, and somehow always Instagram-ready. I haven’t made it to Dubai (yet), but these chocolate-dipped dates bring that luxe, golden glow right into my kitchen. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent hours making them, but really, you’re done in under twenty minutes.

They’re sweet, sticky, nutty, and just the right amount of fancy. Perfect for gifting, nibbling with coffee, or impressing that friend who thinks “homemade” means complicated.

Ingredients

12 Medjool dates, pitted
¼ cup pistachios or almonds (to stuff inside)
100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer it sweet)
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold flakes for decoration

Instructions

Prep the Dates:
Slice each date along one side to remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact. Fill the cavity with a whole almond or a few chopped pistachios. Gently close the date back up.
Melt the Chocolate:
Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Dip and Decorate:
Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, coconut, or a pinch of edible gold flakes for that Dubai sparkle.
Chill and Serve:
Pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Serve on a pretty platter or package them in small gift boxes.

Optional Flavor Twists

Rose Touch: Add a drop of rose water to the melted chocolate for a floral note.
Saffron Luxe: Dust the top with crushed saffron threads before chilling.
Coffee Kick: Dip in mocha-flavored chocolate for a bolder bite.

They’re everything Dubai desserts stand for — rich, refined, and effortlessly elegant. A little old-world tradition wrapped in modern chocolate bliss. Keep a few in the fridge for when you need something sweet but can’t be bothered to turn on the oven.
