15 Wonderful Ways to Give the Gift of Chocolate
Since ancient days in Mesoamerica, humans have had a love affair with chocolate. The Aztecs put so much value on cacao seeds that they used them as a form of currency. These days, we spend around 18 billion dollars a year in the United States in pursuit of our chocolate fix. Here in the US we eat close to 10 pounds of chocolate – per person- each year. (I am probably picking up the slack for someone else.)
Chocolate really is quite a wonder. Throughout its history, it has been consumed mostly unsweetened, sweetened, as a drink, and even as an alcoholic beverage. But whether savory or sweet, chocolate satisfies us on a deep level. It raises our endorphin and serotonin levels and dark chocolate actually has some nutritional benefits. So giving chocolate, either to yourself or to others, really is a nice thing to do!
This selection of wonderful ways to give the gift of chocolate is full of great gift ideas for that chocolate lover in your life. From decadent candy selections to really cool ways of serving up chocolate, there is a little something for everyone here.

Everyone loves a chocolate fountain!
If you know someone who loves to entertain, this chocolate fountain is a must-give gift. You might even want to get one for yourself while you’re at it. And really, why wait to entertain? I kind of love the idea of having a permanent chocolate fountain in my kitchen, just waiting to provide random moments of chocolate. That’s a thing, right? If not, it should be!

I don’t know anyone that does not enjoy a good chocolate fountain. But this Nostalgia Cascading Chocolate Fountain is really special. I love the way the chocolate pours from one platform to the next. It makes me want to just stand there and drench a lot of food for a few scrumptious moments of chocolaty bliss and . . . oh, I’m sorry. I got a little swept away there for a moment.
If you have ever needed to give a really nice gift to someone you don’t know very well, you know how hard that can be. This tantalizing box of Godiva chocolate seems like a perfect solution to me. Classy and sophisticated, yet downright decadent, you just can’t go wrong with Godiva. Or chocolate. It’s also a great gift for any chocolate addict you know!
And if 19 pieces of Godiva chocolate are simply not enough for you (and really, I respect that!), how about 36 pieces of decadent, creamy goodness? This golden box is filled with pralines, caramels, and more, covered in dark, white, and milk chocolate. And really, 36 pieces is still probably not enough but then, who’s counting?
These tantalizing Cocoa Dusted Belgian Chocolate Truffles are a taste adventure.

Another wonderful chocolate fountain style, this one is reminiscint of a work of art. It holds up to three pounds of chocolate, which should keep plenty of hungry party guests satisfied. But again, there’s always that idea of just having your own private chocolate fountain on your kitchen counter. This really needs to be a thing.
For some people, there is simply nothing that provides warm comfort like a sweet, rich, and creamy cup of hot cocoa. And with Godiva, you know that you are talking about some of the best hot cocoa available. I might not normally suggest hot chocolate as a good gift for someone, but if someone gave me that beautiful canister as a present, I would be smiling!
This may be one of those dangerous thing on this list of chocolate temptations. Dark chocolate combined with caramel and sea salt is a crazy combination that will have your tastes buds dancing with happiness. When you give someone a gift like this, they will know how special you think they are!

I love this list, but I want to give a shout out to Cadbury Roses. When I was a missionary kid living in London, my proper little British friends would usually bring my mother a small box when they came to my house for a visit. My brother just got back from an international trip and brought back a big box for mom, I thought it was adorable that he remembered that she appreciated getting those!
Ann says
That was very sweet of your brother. I bet your mom was thrilled, Stephanie!
