    Would you like to make a collection of assorted homemade chocolates in a box? I'm here to give you a bunch of recipes. Recipes of my favorite filled chocolates to fill your box. Pick one recipe or mix and match and make a collection.

    Among the recipes below are  chocolate fudge, chickpea clusters, mini twix cups, black pepper truffles, praline truffles, chocolates filled with my 2-ingredient sweet potato frosting - pictured in the broken chocolate above - and many, many more!

    Either way, the box is a perfect gift for all holidays, including Mother's Day, Hanukkah, Christmas, Valentine's Day and even as a delicious candy birthday gift.

    How to Make Assorted Homemade Chocolates

    Making the chocolates is easy. For each one, I usually make a soft filling, chill it and dip it in melted dark chocolate.

    You can just roll the filling using your hands if it's not too sticky, or use molds - fancy ones like here and here, or mini cupcake pans, or even ice cube trays.

    Pro-tip about Candy Molds:

    The rubber ones are made of silicon, like this one, and are not expensive and it's easy to remove chocolates from them.

    The polycarbonate molds, like this one, are clear and harder, and are much more expensive and it's sometimes harder to get the chocolate out especially if it hasn't hardened long enough.

    However - and this is a big however - the resulting chocolate will be much shiner on the surface. So I try to include a few polycarbonate chocolates in the box. The chocolates that I make with the silicon molds are usually duller so it's best to brush with gold dust or cocoa powder or sprinkles or wrap in gold paper.

    Make Your Chocolates Look Fancy

    Chocolates are easy to make but there are rules if they are to join assorted chocolates in a chocolate box.

    Rule #1: They must be small enough to fit. For instance, the Chickpea Chocolate Clusters are included but note that if you make them for a chocolate box, cluster only 3-4 chickpeas at a time to allow them to fit into the well of a chocolate box.

    Rule #2: Make at least some of the chocolates fancier with either gold dust, sprinkles or wrap them in gold paper. Here is my favorite edible gold dust, and here is usefully small gold candy paper.

    How to Pack Homemade Chocolates in a Box

    Once you have made your chocolates, you'll need to pack them up. I either box them in purchased gift boxes like these, or I use old chocolate boxes. If you are serving your chocolates for a dinner or party, put them in mini cupcake wrappers and set them on a tray.

    Ingredients for Homemade Chocolates in a Box

    Most of the ingredients I use in the filled chocolate recipes below include quality dark chocolate - Lindt, Enjoylife, HU, and fresh dates or maple syrup, fresh coconut, nut butter, chickpeas, lentils, almonds or any healthy flour, even sweet potato or pumpkin puree.

    Nutrition in Healthy Homemade Chocolate

    Aside from homemade filled chocolates being an easy gift to make, the nutrition in these chocolates abounds. These recipes are full of fiber and protein, low in sugar, high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. They are high in MCTs and Omegas. This is a box of chocolates that can help you boost energy, improve skin and hair, control weight, blood sugar, fight colds and disease. Pretty good for a box of chocolates!
