Easter is coming right up and I’ve heard lots of people getting excited about sharing gifts, especially of the chocolate sort! The good news is that, despite all the ‘less than healthy’ stuff out there, your gifts actually can be nutritious, ethical and truly from the heart – especially when you make chocolate at home with ethical and compassionate ingredients.

Giving a gift is an opportunity to express our heart and soul. Giving speaks volumes of the compassion that we feel toward others. Giving a gift is also an opportunity to express how much we care about the world around us. When I give gifts, I want to make sure that I am celebrating my love for all sentient life within everything I share. To me, that means honouring Mother Earth by being resourceful, making gifts with whatever I have to hand, and creating delicious vegan treats with ethical, fairly traded, compassionate ingredients. It brings me so much joy to watch my friends beam with delight as they receive their very own ‘made with love’ packet of deliciousness.

It makes a real difference to know that you are truly giving from the heart, without causing harm to other sentient life in the process. With a little imagination, you can dress up a small, clean food container with pretty wrapping paper, line it with parchment paper and tie a ribbon on it. Jars with a ribbon work a treat too. I save gift paper and ribbons to reuse for this sort of thing.

The whole ‘homemade’ process makes me feel so connected to the person I will be sharing with. I feel a beautiful depth of gratitude, which gives me the opportunity to honour the true spirit of compassionate giving. In fact, the world just feels like a much better place!

In this article, I am sharing over 10 delicious (and mostly easy) chocolately recipes for you to make at home…
