When it comes to gifting, there’s nothing quite like homemade chocolates, sweets and candies. Here you’ll find lots of confectionary recipes so that you can make the perfect sweet gift for any occasion.
Post In Process Of Being Updated
There’s something rather exciting about the first of the month. You never quite know what the next 30 days will bring. Today, on 1 March, St David’s Day, it has brought snow, lots of it. Quite unusual in this part of the country. It also brings a treasure trove of chocolate recipes and gorgeous photos to get us all in the mood for some serious chocolate action. If you’re snowed in like we are, here’s the perfect antidote to cabin fever.
Homemade Chocolates, Sweets And Candies
We kick things off here with homemade chocolate inside a homemade box of chocolates cake.
Box Of Chocolates Cake
There’s only one thing better than a box of chocolates and that’s a box of chocolates inside a cake. You’ll find this beautifully executed Box of Chocolates Cake over at Only Crumbs Remain. And the chocolates and jam are homemade too.
Chocolate Truffles
Fruit & Nut Truffle Bites
These fruit and nut chocolate truffles look so good, but when I found out the ingredients I was positively drooling. I’ll let you find out what’s in them over at Gluterama.
Raspberry Chocolate Truffles
We have more vegan truffles from Nico at Yumsome. This time they come in the form of these scrumptious raspberry chocolate truffles which are made with cashew nuts.
Dark Chocolate Whisky Truffles
My contribution to these chocolate recipes are these rather luscious whisky truffles with dark chocolate and fresh cream.
Japanese Chocolate Truffles
These Japanese chocolate truffles from Pebble Soup sound intriguing and just the sort of thing I like to try – pickled sushi ginger, wasabi furikake and yuzu.
Chocolates
Mint Chocolates
Everyone loves mint chocolates. They’re the classic after dinner treat. Indulgent, yet refreshing. The recipe for these mint chocolates is on Tin and Thyme.
Fruit & Nut Chocolate Shards
These sumptuous fruit and nut chocolate shards with popping candy from Galina at Chez Maximka were a fitting tribute to National Chocolate Week.
Chocolate Nutella Caramel Cups
Many thanks to Johanna at Green Gourmet Giraffe for these six years of We Should Cocoa celebratory chocolate nutella caramel cups.
Raspberry Cream White Chocolates
We have homemade raspberry cream white chocolates from Only Crumbs Remain. Not only do they sound delicious, but they look so professional too.
Chocolate Fudge And Caramel
Easy Chocolate Fudge
easy chocolate fudge from Recipes Made Easy
Raw Chocolate Raspberry Fudge
And another one from The Gluten Free Alchemist. Strictly speaking it’s only one post per blog per month, but it’s Christmas and I’m feeling generous. Also, 17 cheerful chocolate recipes somehow sound better than 16 😉 This raw chocolate raspberry fudge looks too good to miss anyway.
Chocolate Nut Butter Caramels

Jessica Cantoni says
What an amazing selection of chocolatey goodness!! x
Choclette says
It’s quite astonishing how many different recipes there are using chocolate. After all these years of hosting #WeShouldCocoa, I’ve rarely come across the same recipe twice.
Kate - Gluten Free Alchemist says
Where to start? They are all so tempting! But I think I will have to head straight for those Date & Chocolate Cookies…. there’s just something about freshly dipped chocolate ….. x
Choclette says
Those cookies are a real winner. They are on my “I really mustn’t forget this recipe” list.
Cat | Curly's Cooking says
Seeing all of these yummy recipes this month is a little bit like torture because I’ve given it up for lent. I think I’m going to need to make all of them to eat when I can!
Choclette says
Oh well done you Cat. That’s quite a feat. Easter’s not so very far away now, so hang on in there.
Angela / Only Crumbs Remain says
Ooh my goodness, so many tempting chocolate treats – I’ll definitely be joining you & Jo with wearing my fat pants lol,
Anegla x
Choclette says
Hehe Angela. The more the merrier I say 🙂
Jo Allison / Jo's Kitchen Larder says
Your linky always makes me feel like putting my fat pants on and just going for it lol There are so many delicious treats on offer I couldn’t possibly choose which one to make first! 🙂
Choclette says
Hahaha Jo, you’ve made me laugh out load. I have a rather horrid feeling I might have my fat pants on far too often.
johanna @ green gourmet giraffe says
wow I think this all sounds wonderful – needed chocolate tonight so we had chocolate pizza but I feel I could get a little more creative when I see these wonderful creations
Choclette says
Johanna, everyone’s been raving about your tree house cake. You’re the most creative out of the lot of us.
Kat (The Baking Explorer) says
Chocolate heaven! I’m going to have so many chocolate recipes for this month!
Choclette says
Hahaha, I’m looking forward to seeing them all Kat 😀
Monika Dabrowski says
Thank you for hosting this delicious link party, all the entries look so appealing! I did include a link to your blog, but I mentioned several other links as well, which is probably why you missed it (I answered your comment on my blog before checking if the link was there). If you would like me to include your badge I am happy to do so with the next recipe except I can’t find the code.
Choclette says
Hi Monika. Thanks for letting me know and sorry to put you to the trouble. Badge is nice, but by no means obligatory.
Angie@Angie's Recipes says
It’s freezing cold over here too. Very unusual, esp. when it’s already SPRING!
These chocolate treats look marvelous!
Choclette says
Yes, I think 1 March was our coldest day – not right at all!
Corina Blum says
What a great selection of recipes! Baking is a great activity to do on snowy days. Me and Master Spice were at home today and so made some chocolate covered doughnuts. I love the look of Jenny’s chocolate covered biscuits this month!
Choclette says
Ooh they do sound good Corina. Baked or fried? Jenny’s biscuits have my name written all over them.
