DIY Chocolate – Cookies Bouquet

I love to play with food and give it away as much as I love eating gourmet chocolate and homemade cookies. I won’t eat chocolate just for sake of eating chocolate. It must be darn good for me to even look at it.

Yes, you may call me chocolate snob.

Same goes for cookies. I won’t eat 99% of store bought cookies. The only cookies that are allowed to enter my mouths are homemade cookies.

I love good DIY projects. Few months ago I started turning my chocolate and cookies obsession into Edible Bouquets and Edible Arrangements. This way I get to enjoy working with treats I love and sneak the occasional piece of yummy chocolate or fresh homemade cookie into my mouth (shh, don’t tell).

Chocolate Cookie Bouquet

I love the look on my family and friends faces when they receive one of my Chocolate or Cookies bouquets. Since I can’t knit or sew this is my partake in the DIY movement.

Today I decided to share with you my passion for baking, my obsession with chocolate, my love affair with cookies and show you how easy and cheap it is to make your own edible bouquet or edible arrangements for any occasion. If it’s simple chocolate bouquet or large arrangement from homemade cookies you can do it.

Just imagine how much happiness you’ll bring to someones life and how much money you’ll save doing it yourself. Making one of these can be your DIY project for upcoming Valentine’s Day.

This Chocolate-Cookies Bouquet I donated to my son’s hockey team to be raffles off during their tournament.

I decided to bake Triple Chocolate Chip cookies for this edible bouquet because I don’t know the recipient. Usually I try to make my edible arrangements according to the likes of the person I am making it for.

For this Chocolate-Cookies Bouquet I used:

  • Plastic container
  • Floral Foam (softer then styrofoam)
  • Green Tissues Paper
  • Bamboo Skewers
  • Wooded Stir Sticks
  • Lollipop Sticks
  • Clear Tape (prefer glue gun, but couldn’t locate it after my son used it)
  • Toffifee Caramels (large box – 48 pieces)
  • Assorted Chocolates (Lindt chocolates, Kinder Mini, Quality Street…)
  • 6 Chocolate Chip Cookies (large)
  • Colored Cellophane
  • Narrow Ribbon




Cut floral foam to fit into container. Make sure it is nice and tight. My foam was too narrow for my container because I wanted to fit box of Toffifee on the front. Cover the foam with tissues paper.

Glue assorted chocolates onto the wooden stir stick with glue gun or clear tape if you don’t have a glue gun handy. Use the bamboo skewers for soft chocolates like Lindt. Just push the skewer into the chocolate.

Arrange chocolates around container. Leave the middle empty for cookies.

Before you bake cookies of your choice insert a lollipop stick into bottom of each cookie. If you don’t have lollipop sticks you can use regular wooden skewers instead just don’t forget to soak them in a water about 15 minutes before inserting them into the cookies.

After cookies are completely cool cut colored cellophane into rectangles large enough to wrap your cookies in. Gather all cellophane together below the cookie and tie ribbon around it.

Triple Chocolate Cookies

Arrange wrapped cookies in the middle of container.

Since I made this chocolate-cookie bouquet for hockey tournament I wanted to personalize it a little. I used little NHL hockey puck chocolates as a part of my edible arrangement.
