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.

Everyone knows that a great pizza needs a great crust, and Chocolate Pizza is no exception to this rule. At Chocolate Pizza Company, crusts are made from melted chocolate blended with English toffee. You can select either a milk or dark chocolate crust and then add on an assortment of toppings including nuts, candies, a swirl of white chocolate and much more. You can have a custom pizza made or take a look at some of the cool specialty pizzas available such as the Chocolate Avalanche Pizza, which is topped with an assortment of popular candies and candy bar chunks.

Chocolate Pizza Company also creates many other gourmet treats such as gourmet s'mores, Peanut Butter Wings and specialty chocolates. The Peanut Butter Wings are a rich, delectable combination of creamy peanut butter and potato chips dipped either in dark or milk chocolate. You can order a pizza and wings combo or browse their vast selection of chocolate gift baskets.

For those who enjoy making handmade gifts, consider making your own chocolates or truffles or some rich fudge. If this seems a tad tricky, consider creating a chocolate cookie mix and placing it in a mason jar along with simple instructions for cookies or cookie bars. Hot chocolate and mini marshmallows also can be placed in mason jars for a cute little gift, perfect to give out after a winter dinner party.

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.
