What to Look for in a Chocolate Gift

Allergies/ Dietary Restrictions

When it comes to food-related gifts, it's important to take note of any dietary restrictions or allergies the recipient may have. For chocolate specifically, double-check if it contains nuts, fruit, caramel, and any other extra ingredients that may pose an issue. In addition, consider if the recipient is lactose intolerant or has other dietary restrictions to determine the type of chocolate that's best for them.

Preferences

Chocolate is available in multiple types—white, dark, and milk being the most common. It also comes in tons of forms, from chocolate bars to truffles to infused coffee. While you shop, consider the preferences of the recipient. If they have a more classic palette, you can't go wrong with a milk chocolate bar. If they're coffee or tea drinkers, they'll appreciate chocolate-infused options.

Serving Size

When choosing a gift, think about the serving size in relation to who is receiving it. For example, if you're sending a gift set to a family, you'll want to ensure that the serving size is portioned for that many people or more.
