Have you ever gotten a box of chocolate as a gift and you are like “YES! Chocolate!” then been a little disappointed when you looked through the little guide, realizing that your favorites didn’t make it into the assortment? It’s kind of tragic when that happens! For Mother’s Day this year, I put together a Chocolate Gift Basket with all of my favorites. I have nothing against traditional boxes, but next time you want to give someone a treat, why not try this DIY Chocolate Basket instead?

I used a small wooden box that I got a long time ago, I can’t remember where. It’s a perfect size though, about 6″ x 6″ and 2.5″ deep.
You can use any size basket or box, just remember that the bigger the vessel, the more crinkle paper and chocolate you will need to fill it up!
Chocolate Basket Assembly Instructions:
- Fill the basket about half-full with crinkle paper or lay some tissue paper in the bottom.
- Tie a ribbon or stick a bow onto the front of the basket (optional)
- Arrange the chocolate in the basket. Start with the biggest item and then add them in order of size.
- Move things around until you like the way the gift looks from all angles.
