8 best chocolate gifts and hampers you can order online now

Unless you've been living under a rock, you can't fail to have heard (or tasted!) Dubai chocolate. As a nation, it seems we're obsessed with all things pistachio.

If you just can't get enough, you'll want to hotfoot it to Cartwright & Butler, to get your hands on these new, milk chocolate truffles filled with a creamy pistachio ganache, knafeh crunch, finished with a vibrant yellow and green drizzle. YUM!

Left it to the last minute? Fear not, Chococo's letterbox gift will deliver three of the brand's best bars – a mix of milk, dark and oat milk – through their door, along with a free gift card.

It's tricky to choose just one hamper from London bakery Cutter & Squidge, but we think this is an excellent pick if you have around £40 to spend. It’s filled with crowd-pleasing chocolatey treats, including fruity white chocolate bark and a box of quality truffles.

The hot chocolate and shortbread is presented in pretty, reusable tins, and we’ll be saving the chocolate orange popcorn for munching in front of our favourite rom com. Yum!

Monty Bojangles’ sweet and creamy truffles never disappoint. Here, they’ve been packaged in a striking cat tin for the feline-lover in your life. There are four flavours to enjoy — chocolate, caramel, orange and popcorn — all of which had a rich cocoa content and melt in the mouth texture.

We love the concept behind Letter Box Hamper, which allows you to send beautifully wrapped gourmet gifts to loved ones. The brand handpicks items from artisan British producers, and this dark chocolate tasting set — which contains bars from the likes of Willie’s Cacao and Love Cocoa — may just be our favourite yet.

Our panel particularly enjoyed the decadent hot chocolate buttons and cacao-dusted cashews, which struck just the right bittersweet balance.

Tucked inside a gold-embossed eau de nil gift box, the lucky recipient will discover a crisp and refreshing bottle of Fortnum’s blanc de blanc champagne alongside a tray of 32 decadent truffles – these offer a heady hit of champagne and an ever so slightly effervescent texture as they melt on the tongue.

Unmistakably luxurious, this is a gift worthy of any extra-special celebration.

If they prefer a decadent red over a bottle of fizz, this is the hamper to go for. It contains a selection of Belgian truffles, all of which are the perfect accompaniment to the big, bold Spanish red included.

Although better known for its personalised biscuits, Biscuiteers has curated a giant tin containing 24 hand-iced chocolates, perfect for any occasion.

Spanning five flavours, highlights include the salted caramel ganache and the hazelnut praline, and you can add a message amid the flowers.
