10 Christmas Gifts for Chocoholics 2019; a handy little foodie gift guide to help you choose the best presents for the chocolate-obsessed people in your life!
Buying gifts for chocoholics can be pretty straight-forward, but if you’re sick of picking up the same sharing bar of Cadbury or box of Lindt Lindor every year, scroll down.
This season I want to provide you with some of the best and most unique gifts for the chocolate lover in your life. Check out the list below of the 10 Christmas Gifts for Chocoholics 2019!
Click the links in each entry to be whisked away to their online stores!
1. Ruby chocolate of some sort
The newest trend on the block, ruby chocolate is worth a try if you or your loved ones adore chocolate. This pink novelty is made using cocoa beans that have been fermented less than normal, giving a vibrant colour and a fresher fruity flavour. A few different brands have started adding ruby chocolate to their offerings, making this tangy treat into affordable bars and chips. If you want to go straight to the source though, Callebaut is your best choice!
2. The Velvetiser
Hot chocolate is good in any circumstance. If you had a little machine in your kitchen that could make an incredible luxurious high-quality hot chocolate in less than 3 minutes, it would be even better.
The Velvetiser from Hotel Chocolat does just that. Using whatever kind of milk you like, and some of their insanely delicious hot chocolate mix (made from actual shaved chocolate, not just powder!), your chocolate-loving pal can make a really sexy drink to cosy up with over the winter. It’s a little pricey, but so is that Costa habit you’ve picked up since they launch their new hot chocolate range…
3. Bizarre Chocolate Bars from The Chocolate Smiths
The Chocolate Smiths are a friendly small chocolate business based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Their penchant for creating wonderfully creative and visually appealing chocolate bars is unrivalled. From perfectly addictive combinations like peanut butter and salted caramel bars, to wacky inventions such as cheese and cracker chocolate, their Bizarre Chocolate Bars are an ideal gift for chocoholics.
Coming in at a reasonable price, you can get a great selection of big flavoured chocolate bars delivered right to your door. I truly cannot praise or recommend this brand enough!
4. Coco Chocolatier
Created in a workshop in Scotland’s capital city, these bean-to-bar chocolates are unmissable. Using high-quality cocoa from South America, Coco are making bars that are simple and delicious. Alongside their incredible plain milk and dark chocolates, they also create lavish flavoured bars including a taste of gin and tonic or cold brew coffee. If the chocolate lover in your life is interested in sustainable, ethical, and above-all GOOD chocolate, then stick a few of these on your shopping list.
5. Kit Kat Chocolatory
This year John Lewis are offering the, perhaps more middle-class, chocoholics of Britain a chance to design their own high end custom Kit Kat bars. Yes, you read that right.
Selected stores around the country are allowing customers to build their own six or eight finger Kit Kats, by choosing the kind of chocolate base and toppings they’d like. If one of these store locations is a little too far away from you, you can also purchase a selection of these posh Kit Kats directly from the John Lewis website here!
I must admit, these are above the average price for even a novelty Kit Kat, but it might just be worth it to make your chocolate-mad friend smile.
6. Creighton’s Chocolaterie chocolate bars
Creighton’s chocolate bars are perhaps some of the most beautifully packaged in the UK. They are a female run small chocolate business based in________. They focus on innovative and gorgeous designs that flow from their paper wrappers through to the actual chocolate enveloped within. Design aside, they also taste bloody good. They release limited edition flavour collections throughout the year, and you can sample them in the form of bars, truffles, lollies and even chocolate fortune cookies! Do yourself and your chocolate freak friends a favour, get some of these ordered.
7. Willie’s Cacao
For the serious chocolate lover in your life, these are a MUST. Willie’s Cacao are creating some of the best quality chocolate in the UK. Specialising in ethically sourced chocolate that brings out the natural flavours of the cocoa bean itself, this company are doing wonderful things.
Each bar or truffle is made with single estate cocoa, meaning nothing is blended or diluted. You can taste the difference in bars from Colombia, Madagascar and even Indonesia. The bars themselves are a little on the pricier side, but it is a worthy trade for the intensity and uniqueness of this chocolate.
8. Fancy chocolate treats from Hotel Chocolat
Yes, it’s another Hotel Chocolat recommendation because I am an ADDICT. No brand draws me in as often as these guys do, and for good reason. Their cocoa is ethically sourced and their chocolates are made from the highest quality ingredients. On their online store or in their shops you can find everything from super sweet flavoured white chocolate truffles to the richest single estate dark chocolate bars. Lovers of fruit, nuts, alcohol or just plain old chocolate can all be satisfied with the selection Hotel Chocolat have on offer. Not to mention, their Christmas treats are just essential this season!
9. Whittard Hot Chocolate
If you know someone who loves a steaming mug of milky chocolate, stop right now and buy some Whittard products for them. Whittard are one of the best hot-chocolate makers in the country, and offer some truly unique flavours to make your mug with. From Creme Brulee to Sticky Toffee Pudding flavours, you’re unlikely to leave their website without craving a sweet hot drink. These will please any chocolate fiends, as well as providing some comfort and solace as the weather gets colder.
10. Giant Celebrations Box
If you want to shock and impress a chocolate lover this year, this ridiculous product might just be for you. Yes, it’s over two kilograms (2kg) of Celebrations.
No more fighting over the last Galaxy Caramel, no more quiet sadness when the tub is empty. This monster box of Celebrations is the best way to ensure your favourite chocoholic and their family/friends get a seemingly endless supply of classic bitesize British treats!
I hope you’re now feeling full of Christmas shopping inspiration, and that you’re kind of in the mood for a bar of chocolate…
Happy shopping!
