A Chocolate Lover’s Gift Guide

It all started when I was fifteen. I got my first job at a local chocolatier. My manager said I ate more chocolate than anybody who’d ever worked for her. I’m pretty sure that title is still mine. I remember creating gift baskets and tins for customers and thinking, Wow this person is going to be so thrilled! Giving chocolate is always a great idea, whether it’s for someone you don’t know well, or for that foodie friend you know has a particular taste for… milk chocolate pecan turtles, perhaps (that’d be me!). So. I’m excited to partner with some delicious chocolate brands to bring you this chocolate lover’s gift guide!

A Chocolate Lover’s Gift Guide

Excite the senses with unique flavors!

Chocolate lovers gift guide FB

Giving chocolate can be so exciting, especially when the chocolate itself boasts one-of-a-kind flavors. Chuao Chocolatier, a premier chocolate brand from Venezuela and located in California, combines wild flavors with chocolate for sensational tasting experiences! They have an array of gift boxes in a wide price range great for any kind of gifting or party favor. We tried out the Holiday Love Gift Set which has thirty-six mini wrapped bars featuring 6 of their popular flavors: Hope Joy & Gingerbread, For the Love of Peppermint, Firecracker, Honeycomb, Caramel Apple Crush, and Potato Chip.

Our personal favorite was the Firecracker because you can actually feel the popping candy crackles in your mouth, and the chipotle is zingy! It’s a really fun candy bar to eat! Plus, they are the perfect size for a small candy treat, yet, stay freshly wrapped until you’re ready to enjoy! Gift boxes like this are perfect for giving and sharing! Besides bars they have bonbons, truffles, barks, and even a subscription box!

Find Chuao Chocolatiers online, on Facebook, and Instagram! Plus, you’ll often find their bars in stores like CVS, Target, and more!

Think outside the bar for your chocolate

Maybe you want a chocolate that speaks to the comforts of home. Then Cisse Cocoa is a perfect choice. Fair Trade cocoa beans make the USDA Organic cocoa powder in all their products – so they support our chocolate passion and small scale farmers at the same time! Their chocolate baking mixes make that perfect richly chocolate texture in muffins, cookies, and brownies, with just the right amount of “gooey” to it that makes you keep reaching for another. Try Milk Chocolate Brownie, Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and of course Dark Chocolate Cake. Baking mixes paired with an apron or a few baking tools make a sweet gift (and maybe you’ll get to lick the bowl too!). And, Cisse also makes a line of cocoas in delicious flavors (I’ve tried some), and Super Thin brownie bites!

Find Cisse Cocoa online, on Facebook, and on Instagram. Buy their mixes at Target, Whole Foods, Kroger, and on Amazon!
