Chapter 16 – Homemade Chocolate Ideas for Birthdays



Birthday parties and homemade chocolate go hand in hand.  There are a lot of ways that you can use homemade chocolate at birthday parties as an inexpensive, easy to make party favor.  Homemade chocolate is always a big hit but homemade chocolate goes over especially well at kids’ birthday parties.  Here are some fun ways that you can use homemade chocolate to liven up birthday parties.

  • Make homemade chocolate lollipops for your kid’s birthday party.  Lollipops and chocolate suckers are great party favors because they can be individually wrapped and they are easy to carry around. Even if your child’s birthday party is somewhere else like a restaurant or park or museum you can easily hand out homemade chocolate suckers as party favors.

  • Make sugar free homemade chocolates in shapes that fit with the theme of the party. Get a bulk order or small Chinese food take out boxes, the little white boxes with wire handles to put the chocolates in. You can get them in bulk online.  Put out crayons, stickers, glitter, glue and other materials and let the kids decorate their own party favor box then fill the boxes with homemade sugar free chocolate as the kids are leaving.  The other parents will appreciate that the candies are sugar free and the kids will have a sweet treat to take home.

  • Make chocolate boxes for the kids to put their other party favors into and take home. Chocolate boxes are always a smash at birthday parties.  You can make chocolate boxes for grownup birthday parties too, and put grownup party favors in them.  Homemade chocolate boxes are always a favorite party favor.

  • If the kids are old enough make one of the party activities making their own chocolate. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave for them but then let them add their own fun items into the chocolate like nuts, candy, fruit and so on and let them choose a mold, pour their chocolate concoction in it and by the time the party is over the chocolate should be hard and ready to take home.

  • For grownup parties, set up a chocolate fountain flowing with some delicious homemade chocolate sauce and set up a fruit bar full of fresh fruit for dipping. This gives people that are concerned about their calorie intake a low calorie dessert alternative to birthday cake.

  • Use homemade chocolates as the prizes for some of the party games and let each winner choose their own gift bag full of delicious chocolates.

  • At grownup parties give out a mug with a decorated packet of special hot chocolate mix inside and print the recipe on the envelope so your guests can make it at home.

It’s almost a must that you serve something chocolate at birthday parties. If you are the kind of person that doesn’t really care for chocolate then you can serve some homemade chocolate for your guests so that they will have some chocolate to enjoy.
