There’s nothing better than a homemade treat, here are Emma Dean’s go-to recipes using ingredients that every home has on hand during the festive season

Chris’ Dips Terracotta Potted Plants

Chris’ Dips Terracotta Potted Plants

The first (and most important) step is to eat the dip! Chris’ Heritage Range Dips are served in sealed terracotta pots which are perfect for creating a potted plant to gift to your loved ones this Christmas.

Ultimate Dip Board

Ultimate Dip Board

Personally, I think a dip board is the next charcuterie board trend. Don’t quote me on it but if it happens … then you can quote me! Creating a dip board is a fun way to share an appetiser or starter on your table.

Lindor Chocolate Tree

LINDOR Chocolate Tree

This year, it’s time to say no to plastic Christmas trees and dress up the real deal! String or peg a few LINDOR balls to each branch and you have yourself a delicious and air-purifying festive decoration.
