Do you want to make your friends and family feel special this Eid? Then why not give them a handmade gift? Not only will it eliminate the pressure of thinking about what to buy, it will also save time spent on shopping and even overspending.
There’s also nothing more uplifting than receiving a special gift that’s been made just for you. Something that someone you care for has put their heart and soul into and personalised. Particularly now in an age when most of us have too much, there isn’t a more perfect opportunity to be mindful about the gifts that you give.
Having a young family myself, I understand that creating anything handmade can be quite time consuming particularly at Eid, with all the preparations and special prayers that we commit ourselves too. But, fret not, I’ve got an easy, no bake recipe for you. It won’t take too long but it is sure to impress. Children can also get involved. And chocolate too, need I say more?
Chocolate Truffles (add optional base flavours or toppings to personalise further)
What you need
Chocolate 200grms
Double cream 90ml
1tsp Butter (to grease hands when forming balls)
Optional base flavours

Cinnamon
Almond extract
Vanilla essence
Peanut butter

How to make it
You can gift wrap with homemade tags and in favour bags or boxes. This year I’m opting for brown recyclable boxes, which can easily be found on Amazon or in Hobbycraft.
Eid Mubarak!
