Weighing in over 3 pounds, this is a great gift for a family or even an office.
While testing it, we were impressed by the luxurious feel of the box.
Each box was securely fastened to the next using twine string and decked with a lovely bow.
The large variety also ensures that your recipient can find at least one treat they love.
The unique tray is also perfect for serving snacks at parties or gatherings.
We can confirm that the strawberries were not only delicious but huge and bursting with flavor.
We also appreciate that they come with white chocolate and milk chocolate strawberries for a bit of variety.
Another plus, they come in a gorgeous box tied with a ribbon, so theyre perfect for gifting.
This makes it incredibly easy to share with friends or store for later.
Another triumph of this basket is the presentation.
All the treats come in a wicker basket wrapped in a purple bow.
Its well-arranged right out of the package and wrapped in plastic without a chocolate out of place.
It was truly a delight to open and investigate.
We appreciate that this kit comes with all the dry ingredients needed to make six large chocolate croissants.
For us, it took several hours to complete these, but this could vary based on baking experience.
Once done, we can simply say these were absolutely delicious and bakery-quality.
Plus, theyre large enough to save and share.
Theyre individually wrapped, so theyre easy to dump in a candy dish and share with friends and family.
We love how fancy these look and nothing like youd find at your local grocery store.
The box contains two flavors of truffles: milk chocolate with a milk mousse center and pistachio.
Both tasted extremely creamy, fresh, and high-quality.
We love this unique alternative to a box of chocolates for a recipient with a sophisticated palette.
Toffee was our favorite, but they were all a tasty blend of salty and sweet.
Our only complaint was the shipping.
This also means you could store some in your pantry for another day.
Not only are they huge, but the decadent cookies are soft in the center and packed with toppings.
We recommend heating them up in the microwave for a minute before enjoying them for a truly decadent bite.

Boxes are made to order and taste extremely fresh and delicious upon delivery.
They even come packaged with a pretty hand-tied bow.

After defrosting in the fridge overnight, this cake tasted absolutely fresh and delicious.
We taste-tested the biscottis and loved the great variety of flavors that suit every palate.
In terms of texture, the biscottis were crumbly, similar to a shortbread cookie.

Oneg Bakery Double Chocolate Babka
Don’t be fooled by photosthis babka is huge.
Brooklyn-based Oneg Bakery’s double chocolate babka weighs 6 pounds (similar to a bag of flour!)
and packs a huge chocolate punch.
With this gift, no preparation is needed; it arrives ready to devour.
You could also pop it in the oven for a fudgier warm treat.
Because the babka is so rich and dense, it’s ideal for sharing.
We were satisfied after a few bites, but those few bites were nothing short of dreamy.
We tested the loaf and believe this could feed an entire office, birthday party, or classroom.
When in doubt, opt for the half loaf.
Each of the 16 chocolates is different, making for a delicious adventure to sample each one.
These aren’t your average chocolates.
Even as non-adventurous chocolate lovers, we were blown away by the taste, variety, and beautiful designs.

Finding no faults with this choice, we recommend this chocolate box for anyone you love.
Every piece felt intentional to us when opening the present and were positive a recipient would feel the same.

These tasted fresh and silky with soft chocolate and fan-favorite fillings.
Since theyre well-packaged, we think these could last a few days and still taste fresh.
While it’s not the most impressive packaging, the hot chocolate speaks for itself.
We like that Harry & David includes a variety of milk, white, and dark chocolate strawberries in each box.PHOTO: The Spruce
Just combine the mix with water or milk and enjoy hot or cold.
You get up to eight cups of hot chocolate with every purchase.
When gifting, we recommend adding a bottle of whipped cream, sprinkles, and a fun straw.
This elevated option from Clif Family Winery includes a cabernet from the brand with three chocolate bars from TCHO.
We especially loved the toffee bar paired with the red wine.
This option comes gorgeously wrapped in a gift box that your wine-loving aunt in another state will surely love.
The no-frills dark chocolate was undoubtedly delicious and tasted even better with a sip of coffee.
The crunchy bites have silky and smooth insides that are indulgent and keep you going back for more.
We were thrilled that the bars arrived completely frozen without any cracked chocolate shells.
Theyre wrapped individually so you might leave a few in the freezer and take them out as you kindly.
In terms of taste, these deliver a flavor journey that starts with the crunch of frozen chocolate.
These Jcoco bars have a unique tropical flavor with pieces of diced mango, plantains, and sea salt.

Each envelope of chocolate has three 1-ounce bars.
The chocolate is rich and creamy, with a pleasant crunch from the plantain chips.
But because its three small bars, its best for an individual or couple rather than a group.
We appreciate the high-quality box the toffee arrives in that you could easily reuse for another gift basket.PHOTO: The Spruce
This library of extravagant snack-size chocolate bars wont disappoint.
If you’ve never had sweet curry and chocolate mixed, now’s the time to try it.

Overall, each flavor stood out from the others without being overwhelming.

What’s inside the box?
If cocoa is further down the ingredient list, the chocolate is likely loaded with sugar.
Dont recognize many of the ingredients?
When other ingredients are included in a gift, we want them to be equally high-quality.
Function-Forward Packaging
Packaging shouldnt just be pretty; it must also be functional.
Any chocolate you buy should be well packaged, as both light and moisture affect the freshness of chocolate.
It should be sealed properly, ideally in both foil and beautiful paper wrapping.
