The Best Chocolate Gifts Everyone on Your List Will Love

Get them a little bit of everything with this best-selling gift box from André's, a family-owned Kansas City chocolatier. The smaller box comes with a creamy milk chocolate bar, chocolate caramels, chewy chocolate-covered orange peels, chocolate-covered almonds and two small foil-wrapped chocolates. We especially love the almonds: "The most delicious chocolate-covered almonds ever!” says Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Reviews Analyst Eva Bleyer. The larger box contains all of that plus the brand's signature hot chocolate, a box of 12 assorted chocolates (instead of the chocolate bar) and eight chocolates filled with mint butter fondant, molded into the shape of mint leaves.

Swap out typical round truffles for these whimsical, mouse-shaped treats (complete with colorful ribbon tails) for a truly gift-worthy box. Each squeaker is made by hand using a process that takes over 12 steps and three days, according to the brand. They'd be way too cute to eat — if they weren't so delicious: The dark chocolate mice have an orange-chocolate ganache filling, the milk chocolate have chocolate-espresso ganache and the white chocolate have a ganache filling made with cinnamon and port wine. All of the little sweets have crunchy, toasted-almond ears.

Slice into this massive, six-pound chocolate babka and you can immediately smell the high-quality chocolate wafting from its center. The inside reveals wall-to-wall layers of a fudgy, never-dry mix of Dutch-process cocoa and sugar: "It's not overly sweet — you get a deep, chocolatey flavor," says Recipe Editor Susan Choung. "Best babka I’ve ever had!" The half loaf (three pounds) serves 8-10 people and the full loaf serves 16-20 people, making this the perfect treat for a family gathering or holiday get-together. Babka for breakfast, anyone?

Consider this hot chocolate for tea lovers — the pu'erh tea is combined with cocoa nibs, chocolate chips, chocolate curls and cocoa powder for a warming, slightly sweet cup (it contains Stevia extract) that you can swap in for your daily mug of black tea. It comes in a giftable tin and can be enjoyed however you like your tea, whether that's hot, iced, with milk, sugar or just plain. One reviewer said, "Even without milk/sugar, this tea packs a lot of flavor — 10000% would buy it again every year." Complete the present with a cute mug that comes with a stainless steel infuser and a lid that doubles as a saucer.

Choose between six crowd-pleasing flavors to create your ideal mix of six, or snag one of each! The brand boasts reliably good chocolate with snappy-yet-creamy exteriors and flavor-stuffed interiors. "I'd be over the moon if I got this as a gift,” says Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Director Nicole Papantoniou. She's not the only one who loves them — they are also a favorite of Nutrition Lab Director Stefani Sassos and 135 online reviewers who gave the pack a nearly perfect five-star rating. We also love that the squares are perfectly portioned for breaking off a bite... or two.

Food Producer Tina Martinez's pick, these ultra-thick cookies are packed with chocolate chips and boast a gooey, half-baked texture. This box comes with an equal mix of four, eight or 12 chocolate chip and double-chocolate, brownie-like cookies for a serious indulgence that anyone on your list deserves. The cookies come pre-baked, but for the best results (read: flavor), heat them in a 350℉ oven for 5-10 minutes until warm, melty and impossible to resist.

Who says you can't play with your food? Get in a few rounds of this edible game before you, or your opponent's, sweet tooth hits. Each rich, chocolate shell is filled with creamy caramel for a flavor and texture experience that's just as fun as game night. Prefer chess? Consider this luxury chess set, which comes with black and white edible chocolate chess pieces in a keepsake Compartes Green Croc printed briefcase.

Who says you can only have ice cream in the summer? Deputy Food Editor Trish Clasen Marsanico enjoys a scoop or two all year round — especially with a generous drizzle of this hot fudge. In each adorable gift-worthy container, you'll find rich hot fudge, which becomes the perfect drizzling consistency once reheated. It's made with a handful of "real" ingredients (read: cream, sugar, butter, chocolate, cocoa powder), which helps to give it a homemade taste, similar to what you'd find at an old-fashioned parlor.

The ratio of chocolate to berry is probably two to one — and we don't mind that at all. When you get a bite of the fruit, it’s bright-red, ultra-sweet and juicy, the perfect pairing to creamy and rich chocolate. We love the extra caramel drizzle and pinch of sea salt featured in this box, but the brand also offers chocolate-covered strawberries in almost any flavor, from rainbow white chocolate to toffee and chocolate chip dipped. Get a box of 12 or 24.

It's a gift and an activity in one: a chocolate tasting!

Enjoy a dark chocolate bar, dark chocolate with cacao nibs, dark chocolate with boharat spice, milk chocolate with edamame and sea salt and spicy orange milk chocolate. Don't need all of that chocolate? The brand also sells smaller dark chocolate and milk chocolate flights.
