Purim in Full Bloom: A Chocolate & Flowers Mishloach Manos
Purim is a time for creativity, beauty, and sweet surprises, and what better way to capture that than with a topiary-themed Mishloach Manos? This elegant and charming creation combines decadent chocolate bark with foil-wrapped chocolates, arranged to resemble a blooming topiary—a playful nod to both Purim and the beauty of nature.
With thoughtful packaging and a touch of DIY creativity, this idea transforms simple ingredients into a stunning gift that’s perfect for family, friends, or hosts. Whether you’re drawn to the chocolate and flowers aesthetic or love the idea of giving something unique and memorable, this Mishloach Manos is sure to impress!
We used almond and peanut brittle bark. For the almond bark, we used a good quality dark chocolate and roasted almonds. For the peanut brittle, we used our famous Gourmet Chocolate Bark recipe.

Ready to bring Purim into full bloom? Let’s get started!
You will need:
- 6½x5½x1½-inch (16½x14x4-cm) plastic box (purchased at Center of Town-Lakewood, NJ)
- tissue paper
- 2 pieces chocolate bark, cut to 5×6 inches (13×15 cm)
- 6″ x 9″ cellophane bags
- clear round sticker
- 1½ Mimi’s Sweets Dolce Chocolate Bonbons
- green foil
- glue gun
- topiary “Simchas Purim” card printable
Directions:
- Line the box with tissue paper, leaving enough on each side to cover the chocolate bark once it’s in the box.
- Place the chocolate bark in cellophane bags, place them in the box, and cover them with the tissue paper.
- Close the tissue paper with a clear round sticker.
- Divide the chocolate balls in half and wrap each half in green foil. 3 chocolate balls will give you enough for 2 cards.
- Using a glue gun, glue the foil-covered chocolate to the topiary card.
- Place the card on top of the bark and cover the box.
- Secure the box with clear round labels.

Hi Esther! I’m an avid reader! Love your stuff! You’re an extremely talented woman!!
I don’t live in lakewood. Where can I get a hold of these boxes for this theme?
Thank you Brany!
Although we do try to use items that are available to most of our readers, we do have items here and there that are not always available online.
This box is pretty similar, you will not be able to use our download though because the size is a bit different.
You may find some options here as well that can work.
We hope you can find something that can work. Good Luck!
I love the idea of using this coloring sheet as a place mat by a Purim party. What a clever and inexpensive idea. Thank you for enhancing our Rosh Chodesh.
