27 Best Chocolate Gifts for Every Kind of Chocolate Lover

When you need a chocolate gift that looks right in any setting, from a neighbor's doorstep to a client's desk, this is the safe bet that still feels special. Fifteen pieces cover ganache, caramel and praline, so there is something for both the dark and milk camps, and the red ribbon means no extra wrapping.

Roughly three dozen truffles in six flavors make this the box to bring to a family gathering or leave on the coffee table for the season. Lindor's melting center is a favorite with people who say they don't care for fancy chocolate, and the individual wrappers keep them fresh for weeks.

Forty-eight pieces is enough for a whole office or a big extended family. The mix of hazelnut Rocher, dark Rondnoir and coconut Raffaello means even the person who avoids chocolate has an option, which makes it a smart pick when you don't know everyone's taste.

Our budget top pick: under $20 for a generous tub of soft caramels wrapped in dark chocolate and finished with sea salt. Salted caramel fans will happily keep it for themselves, and if you're shopping for several people, the tub splits neatly into smaller jars or cellophane bags.

For a grandparent or older relative, this is the box they remember from holidays decades ago, with butter creams and fruit creams you rarely see anymore. It is modestly priced and a sweet pick for anyone who prefers soft centers over nuts and pralines.

A good middle ground between supermarket chocolates and a boutique chocolatier. The Belgian truffles come in milk, dark and white with caramel and praline fillings, and the presentation is polished enough for a thank-you to a host or a mother-in-law.

For the chocolate lover who has tried every standard bar, eight mini bars with flavors like potato chip and honeycomb bring something new. The small sizes are perfect for tasting side by side, and the slim box slides easily into a stocking.

Vosges is a name dark chocolate fans will recognise, and this 72% bar with burnt-sugar caramel and black Hawaiian sea salt is one of its signature flavors. Two bars means you can keep one in a card and save the other for a later occasion.

The ideal gift for someone who is starting to get into dark chocolate. Working from 70% to 80% to 92% Madagascar cacao shows how the fruity notes change as the sugar drops, and the direct-trade sourcing is a nice bonus for a thoughtful buyer.

Some people eat two squares of very dark chocolate every night and never want to run out. A case of twelve 85% bars is the practical, generous version of that habit, and the low sugar makes it a good fit for anyone watching what they eat.

Each tin of dark chocolate drops is blended to pair with a specific red: Cabernet, Merlot or Zinfandel. Add a bottle of one of them and you have a ready-made tasting night for a couple or a friend who always brings wine to dinner.

The triangle bar many people associate with airport treats and childhood trips. Twelve full-size bars is a fun bulk gift for a Toblerone superfan, or an easy way to cover a dozen stockings, teacher gifts or coworker desks at once.

Our splurge top pick for birthdays, anniversaries and long-distance gestures. A dozen fresh, hand-dipped berries arrive in a gift box and feel far more personal than a box of candy. They are perishable, so send them to arrive on the day rather than tucking them under the tree.

A good pick for a household or team where not everyone wants pure chocolate. Seven compartments mix chocolate pretzels and truffles with honey cashews and other salty snacks, and the round tin looks festive enough to put straight on a party table.

Caramel popcorn coated in chocolate is irresistible during movie nights. One bag of dark and one of milk lets the recipient pick a side, and it is a welcome change for someone who receives chocolate boxes every year.

Made for the chocolate lover who also lives on coffee. A pound of espresso beans in milk, dark and white coatings refills a desk jar for weeks and gives a real afternoon lift, so it is a smart gift for a coworker, student or nurse on long shifts.

Sprinkles and birthday designs make these Oreos a cheerful choice for a kid, a teen or an adult who never grew out of cookies. They ship boxed and ready to give, which helps if you're sending a birthday treat to someone far away.

Give it at Thanksgiving or the first week of December so they get the full countdown. The two-pack is useful for families with two kids or for a couple who would otherwise share doors, and Lindt chocolate is a real step up from the usual waxy calendar pieces.

Drop one in a mug, pour hot milk over it, and it cracks open to release cocoa and marshmallows. It is a small piece of theater that kids love and adults secretly enjoy just as much, perfect for a snow day or a holiday movie night.

Thirty-two packets across classic, raspberry, salted caramel and peppermint will last all winter. Pair it with a favorite mug for an easy teacher or coworker gift, or keep it in the office kitchen as a gift for the whole team.

An inexpensive upgrade for anyone who drinks hot chocolate regularly. Whisking turns even packet cocoa thick and frothy, and because it charges by USB, there are no batteries to run out mid-mug. Bundle it with the cocoa variety pack for a complete gift.

A tongue-in-cheek pick for the chocolate lover who is cutting back on sugar, or a cozy add-on to any edible gift. The large soy jar fills a room with a warm, baked-cake smell and burns for more than a hundred hours.

For the friend who hosts every birthday, holiday and game night, a chocolate fountain becomes the center of the party. Set out strawberries, pretzels and marshmallows and guests do the rest. It also works with caramel or queso, so it won't sit in a cupboard between holidays.

Small, tealight-warmed pots that each hold enough melted chocolate for one person, a great choice for a date night or a dessert course for four. There is nothing to plug in or clean beyond a quick trip through the dishwasher.

If they have seen the viral pistachio-and-kataifi bar online and never managed to buy one, this lets them make two at home. It is a fun weekend project for a couple or a teen who enjoys baking, and the result looks impressive when it is sliced open.

An inexpensive tool for the home baker who wants to try truffles or their own hot chocolate bombs. The 1.5-inch cavities are the standard size most recipes call for, and the soft silicone releases set chocolate without cracking.

Perfect for the chocolate lover who wants to understand what they're eating, from bean to bar to tasting notes. The 50-plus recipes give them something to bake afterward, and the book pairs nicely with the single-origin dark chocolate set.
