A collection of the very best homemade Christmas food gifts – with everything from truffles, rocky road, fudge, chocolate bark, homemade Baileys, salted caramel sauce and more!
Can you believe that Christmas is just around the corner? I know… I can’t believe it either! Every day I swing between feeling super organised and then realising there’s another bazillion jobs that I need to do and then feeling totally unorganised! So to make things a little easier for us all this silly season, I thought I’d put together a collection of all of my favourite homemade Christmas food gifts. These are perfect for friends, family, neighbours, teachers (especially the boozy gifts… they need it after such a big year!), class parties (not the boozy ones obviously!) and work mates. Enjoy xx
First up is this gorgeous Chocolate, Cranberry & Roast Almond Bark – a perfect alternative for those who like things just a little bit sweet. Oh and did I mention that this 3 ingredient bark takes only 5 minutes to make. Heck yes!
These Sticky Date Cookies are sure to be a hit with the neighbours! – The Annoyed Thyroid
I’ve always made rum balls at Christmas time… but these Surprise Choc Ripple & Malteser Balls take things to a whole new level!
You know how there’s always someone in your life that deserves an extra special present? Well this Clinkers Rocky Road Wreath is just for them! They can use it as their table centrepiece… or just nibble away happily for days on end. Either way, it’s certainly a gift that they’ll never forget!
For a twist on a classic fave, you can’t go past this Christmas Gingerbread Slice – Zamamabakes
If you’re making a homemade gift for your child’s teacher, seriously consider a bottle of Homemade Baileys. They deserve it!! Trust me on this one!!
Speaking of Baileys, why not whip up a batch of 4 ingredient no-bake Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls. These are guaranteed to be an absolute hit!
Aren’t these Reindeer Bottles just the cutest things ever!! – Create Bake Make
Why not make a batch of Caramel Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls? You really won’t want to give these babies away!
Love, love, LOVE these Cheaty Christmas Puddings! – Fat Mum Slim
After a cute class end-of-year party idea? These Christmas Marshmallow Pops are too sweet!
What a sweet little gift these ‘Cookies in a Jar’ are! – The Organised Housewife
Or how about these Tiny Teddy Milky Way Candy Cane Sleighs. Seriously CUTE!!
Who can resist a gorgeous batch of Stained Glass Window Biscuits – Cooker & A Looker
For something absolutely delicious that your friends and family will LOVE, whip up a batch of Lemon & White Chocolate Truffles. Absolute perfection!
Who doesn’t love rocky road? Try Clinkers Rocky Road for a super yummy variation on the traditional version.
Fudge is always a winner at Christmas time. These Thermomix fudge recipes (cookies and cream, chocolate and salted caramel) are sure to be gobbled up in no time.
Cranberries, pistachios and macadamias make this Christmas Rocky Road a super delicious homemade gift (recipe: Cooker and a Looker).
Celebrate the silly season with a batch of Rum & Raisin Truffles!
Oh my lordy!! There is absolutely nothing like these Mint Slice Balls – made from Arnott’s Mint Slice biscuits and cream cheese.. these really are the most delicious homemade gift ever!
White chocolate and cranberry screams Christmas! Whip up a batch of these soft & chewy white choc and cranberry cookies, pop them into a cellophane bag and tie with a cute little ribbon. Easiest Chrissy gift ever!
For a good old classic fave, you really can’t go wrong with these no bake Oreo Truffles. They’ll be ready before you know it!
If you only have a few minutes to whip up a last minute gift, then these 3 ingredient Chocolate, Almond & Cranberry Clusters are just what you need. Use white chocolate or substitute for dark chocolate… whatever you like!
Christmas is all about peppermint flavoured treats! These Peppermint Crisp Balls are the BEST Christmassy treat!
I’m one of those people who loves to make hampers at Christmas time – with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. This Salted Caramel Sauce is the perfect addition to any Chrissy hamper.

Thank you SO much. Great timing. We need to bring a plate to graduation tomorrow and both kids need to bring something on Thursday for class parties. I am showing them this list but think the mint slice balls and Oreo truffles will be easy and no oven required yay!!
Oh perfect!!! Enjoy! xx
what a cornucopia here! I wish we still entertained at Christmas just to give some of these a go! Alas, those days are behind us. What a great collection you’ve shared, thank you! Denyse #teamIBOT

BAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA! Yeah, nah. No one wants my home baked treats as gifts.
Hahaha I’m sure they would!! xx
A great list, Lucy – so much foodie inspiration here! I’m on a huge edible Christmas gift roll at the moment, and almost have more food than people to give it to! Can’t believe I’m saying that but it’s true! That’s the food blogger life though, right? 😛
Thank you so much xx
I’m hosting Christmas this year for the first time ever and this has given me heaps of ideas of appetisers & treats! #teamIBOT
I’m so happy to hear that! Have fun!
My girls finish school on the 17th, it means they will free to help me with cooking and I’m planning on trying all of these. Although my eldest has just had jaw surgery and is on a liquid diet till Christmas, so I might need to hide them till then.
Oh no!!! Thank goodness she’s allowed to eat over Christmas!
Oh my Lord! They all look amazing!! I’ll definitely me making two or three or four of them 🙂
They all look absolutely amazing and I’ll no doubt me making two or three or four of them 🙂
Thanks lovely!
So many gorgeous, not to mention delicious ideas! Totes honoured to have my Sticky Date Cookies included, I’m about to whip up another batch today! I might have to make some Tiny Teddy Candy Cane sleighs while I’m at it!
Thanks xx
Hi Lucy
I’m after the Christmas gingerbread wreath slice receipe but the web site isn’t working and I can’t seem to find the receipe anywhere…
I was wondering if you were able to get it for me somehow or not
Thank you
Nooooooo!!! Zamamabakes is run by one of my lovely friends Danielle!! She’s not blogging anymore, but I though the links were still working! I’ll get in touch with her and see if there’s some way we can get her yummy recipes back!!
