Chocolate Gifts: Thinking Outside The Candy Box

By Elba Fenwick


Most people love chocolate and this sweet treat makes a fantastic gift. However, some people simply present their friend or sweetheart with a box of assorted chocolates. This certainly isn't a bad idea, but there are many unique gourmet chocolate gifts that will truly impress your recipient and can be ordered online in just minutes.

Handmade, gourmet chocolates are always a great idea, and for a fun twist on the typical chocolate gift, consider a Chocolate Pizza. These are made by Chocolate Pizza Company using the finest ingredients, and each pizza is crafted by hand. Not only are these unique chocolate pizzas delicious, the packaging is cute, as well. Each one comes in its own authentic pizza box, which makes a great presentation for your gift.

The crust of the Chocolate Pizza is a special blend of handmade toffee and melted chocolate, and you can select either dark chocolate or white chocolate. There are quite a few interesting toppings, as well. You can keep it simple with a delicate drizzle of white chocolate or opt for a pizza with a blend of nuts. Popular candies also can be used for toppings, such as M&Ms and there are several interesting specialty pizzas to consider. For someone who loves candy and candy bars, the Candy Avalanche Extreme might be a good idea. This amazing pizza is topped with everything from Twix to Milky Way chunks and much more.

If you wish to send a few extra treats, consider adding on a bucket of Peanut Butter Wings, another special treat from Chocolate Pizza Company. These are a mix of potato chips and creamy-style peanut butter that have been dipped into milk chocolate or dark chocolate. There are plenty of other options to consider such as gift baskets and chocolate towers filled with an array of mouthwatering treats.

Of course, some people love to create their own handmade concoctions. While creating your own specialty chocolates or a chocolate pizza might be a bit daunting, there are some easy homemade options to consider. For instance ,you can fill a mason jar with homemade hot chocolate mix, top it with mini marshmallows and then cover the top with a pretty piece of fabric. Attach a tiny bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream with a ribbon or rustic bit of twine for a cute presentation. These can make great party favors or even cute holiday gifts for friends.

When someone is celebrating a significant birthday, such as turning 50 or 60, it's fun to give them a little blast from the past. For instance, fill up a basket with favorite candies from the decade in which they were born. They will love the nostalgia of candies they used to enjoy as children, and many candy shops sell these retro candies. You also could create a basket filled with unique chocolates from other countries, such as quirky candy bars enjoyed by people in England, Australia or Germany.
