Step your hot chocolate up a notch with Michelle Darmody's recipe 

It is a good time to make a few edible gifts if you are inclined. The ones here are all chocolate laden, but each with a different flavour and texture. 

Once the chocolate has been melted, younger family members can help with the assembly of the gifts. For example, oiling the yoghurt pots and pouring the chocolate or rolling the sweets. There are lots of jobs for little hands to do.
