Filling your Advent calendar: ideas from our bakery
The nicest Advent calendars are filled with homemade treats. Biscuits that stay fresh for a long time work well, such as Mailänderli (Swiss butter biscuits), cinnamon stars or Brunsli – our Mailänderli recipe is a safe place to start. Small shapes from our Christmas cookie cutters fit into boxes and bags better than large ones. For chocolate lovers, cast small bars or add chocolates and homemade truffles; moulds and shells are in our Christmas pralines category. Wrap biscuits and chocolates individually so that nothing picks up other flavours and the chocolate does not stick. And on 6 December the door can be a little bigger – that is when St Nicholas comes. For everything else for Advent, see Winter & Christmas.
Frequently asked questions
When should I fill the Advent calendar?
Biscuits and chocolate bars can be wrapped as early as the end of November. Chocolates with a cream ganache are only at their best for about two weeks – so with boxes and bags, fill them in two rounds: the first doors at the end of November, the rest in mid-December.
Where should I put the filled calendar?
Somewhere cool, not next to a radiator or in the sun – otherwise the chocolate melts and crisp biscuits go soft.
When do I need to order so the calendar is ready on 1 December?
Order by 4 pm and your parcel leaves the same day by A-Post, usually arriving the next working day. Do allow a weekend for crafting and baking, though. Delivery is free from CHF 100*.
