To make extra fancy chocolate covered cookies, you could dunk them in a dark chocolate, then melt, and drizzle some red or green melted on them, creating a one of a kind Christmas gift.

You could take little pieces of different flavored cakes and dunk them into chocolate of different colors, creating your own little pieces of cake. These little pieces of cake can be plain or you could slice them in half, insert a spoonful of jelly or preserves, and dunk the whole thing in chocolate. Everyone loves cake at Christmas time.

To give these items as gifts, just purchase a decorative dish with a lid and put the items inside. Put a bow or ribbons on it and you are ready to give it to the chocolate lover on your Christmas gift list.
