Food can warm the soul and lighten up a person more than anything else can. People find comfort in food and it acts as a mood booster. With that being said, why not make someone happy by gifting them something sweet and delicious instead of a regular gift? Edible gifts take a special place in people’s hearts and you shouldn’t doubt your choice even for a minute.

Every time you feel like gifting something otherworldly that tastes and looks amazing, order a brownie gift basket. What could be better than a loaded brownie that never fails to exceed expectations? And you don’t even have to spend much time in the kitchen trying to make it right. Brownies are the favourite dessert to many and rarely someone can resist the softness, the texture, the chocolatey taste and the overall unforgettable flavour.
When you think about it, the brownie is a simple dessert with a lot of character and the perfect one for a gift. Its simplicity is what makes it so desirable and sought after. And precisely its simplicity is what makes it matchable with so many things. If you had in mind a brownie topped with white chocolate ganache, you can have it. You can even go for the caramelised version, no questions asked. The cherry on top, again, can be as diverse as you want it to be. Biscuit crumbles, cookies, chocolate pieces, oreo, coconut, raspberries, peanut butter, honeycomb chocolate and caramels are just a few of the things that go well with brownies and that you can add as a final touch.
The brownie gift basket comes neatly packed with a card on which you can write whatever you feel is suitable for the person who will receive the gift. In fact, the personal message makes the whole package special and well thought out. And there, in just a few steps, without wasting time in the kitchen you get a nice chocolate delivery brownie edible gift that you’re giftee will adore. I am sure someone out there said sometimes “It’s not about giving plenty, but giving the right thing” and this is a very truthful phrase that applies to the gourmet brownies and every other edible gift.
Make Cookie Butter at Home

Now, if you do want to spend time in the kitchen and create something with bare hands from scratch, you can make delicious homemade cookie butter. The cookie butter spread is the favourite one for many and people with sensitive taste buds even rank the cookie butter better than Nutella (oops!). So, roll your sleeves and start making the butter that dethroned the world’s most famous spread.
For the cookie butter you’re going to need cookies (preferably gingersnap), heavy cream, coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar and just a pinch of salt. First, you need to crush the cookies until you get fine powder-like structure. The easiest way to do that is by using a food processor. After that, you add all the other ingredients at once and mix until you get a nice buttery texture. Once the cookie butter is done, transfer it into a nice-looking glass jar, put a card on it and you’re ready to go. It will only take you 5 minutes to make it but will make a nice impression.
Create Unique Chocolate Bars

I mean, you can always buy chocolate from the store, but will it be special enough? Will it be gift-worthy? If your answer is no and you want chocolate bars that take the breath away, get ready to create some on your own.
First, acquire your favourite type of chocolate (or different types that you can mix!) and get diverse toppings. Once you have all the ingredients at hand, get a big bowl and melt the chocolate until it’s in a liquid state using water vapour. Then, prepare your toppings and get silicone moulds (they’re the best). At the bottom of the mould arrange your toppings. Dried fruits, crushed cookies, mint, nuts, pretzels, caramel, anything you can think of. Pour the chocolate on top and let it sit in a fridge so that it becomes firm again and then you can pack it and give it away.
Gift Jars of Fruity Marmalade

Marmalade is yet another specialty that you can prepare and gift. It’s great for a colleague, a friend or a loved one that loves marmalade and fruits in general. The preparation is simple, you can use any fruit you please and the outcome is a fruity heavenly spread.
Let’s say you went for the peach marmalade. You’re going to need peaches, oranges, lemons and sugar. First, peel off and cut the peaches into small cubes, put them in a large pan, add the orange, lemon juice and sugar and let them boil all together. It usually takes around 30 minutes for the marmalade to be ready to store in jars. After it cools down sign your card and go on to put a smile on someone’s face.
Then again, if you don’t feel like making marmalade at home, you can buy a jar from the store. You wanted orange marmalade? Done. There’s literally limitless choice of marmalades to buy. And although not homemade it’s still outstandingly tasting and a great gift.

Aside from the soft, creamy and sweet, you can create and gift the complete opposite – something crunchy and salty. Yes, you can bake some crackers. How hard can it be to create perfectly looking, thin, crispy, delicate, salty crackers? It’s actually easier than you might think. You only need a few simple ingredients that end up being the perfect snack every single person loves.
Get a bowl and put flour, sugar, salt, olive oil and water. Make the dough and spread it on a pan using additional olive oil so that it doesn’t stick to your hands. Cut the dough in the shape you prefer, sprinkle additional herbs and salt according to liking and bake the crackers until they become golden brown. You can pack the crackers in a jar or a see-through foil and that’s it. An easy and delicious gift.
