Chocolate is an easy gift for friends and family with a sweet tooth. Rather than make another trip to the grocery store for the standard box of variety chocolates, here are some fun and tasty alternatives that make wonderful presents for every palate.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Chocolate and fruit are considered by many to be a perfect flavor combination, and tangy strawberries dipped in chocolate are one of the most popular picks. When pairing with fruit, choose a classic milk chocolate, a lighter, sweeter white chocolate, or even a rich dark chocolate, which can offer numerous health benefits. Send your loved ones some chocolate-dipped strawberries as a fresh, fruity treat that’s guaranteed to make their day.
Candy Bouquets
Want to send a gift that is both delicious and visually appealing? Many companies offer baskets and bouquets of individually wrapped chocolates arranged in various shapes and sizes. Your chocolate and peanut butter-loving friend, for example, will appreciate a delicious Reese candy bouquet, which features the signature chocolates in an attractive arrangement. With a simple online search, it is also easy to design a personalized candy bouquet featuring your loved one’s favorite brand of chocolate.
Lavender-Infused Chocolate
Lavender is one of the most popular herbal remedies, and it is easy to diffuse as an essential oil for aromatherapy purposes or even incorporate into popular foods. The calming effect and fragrance of lavender paired with the subtle sweetness of chocolate makes lavender-infused chocolate a wonderful treat. Gift a few bars to a friend or family member who loves to snuggle up with a book or a cup of tea on a rainy day, and he or she can experience the comforting bliss of lavender paired with the simple satisfaction of chocolate.
Giving a chocolate-inspired gift does not have to be boring or clichéd. With these exciting and fun chocolate creations, the possibilities are endless.
