Favorite Gourmet Chocolate Gifts Always Work

We at the Ultimate Chocolate Shoppe, get a number of clients that simply don’t know quite what they are looking for when they come to our gourmet chocolate site. They know they want to send a “perfect gift” which means something different to everyone. But finding just the right chocolate gift, is not an easy task unless you know the person very well.




So we came up with a list of some of the most popular choices that we find our clients choose again and again. Ones that show you care and are chocolate gifts that have some pizzazz and always are appreciated.




Number 1 seller? A box of assorted chocolates. Delicious, assorted gourmet chocolates in either milk, dark or milk and dark chocolate. They come beautifully wrapped and make a great classic gift to give. When in doubt, this one always works.




Number 2 favorite? Chocolate covered strawberries. Without a doubt a romantic and sweet gift. Who wouldn’t love big, plump juicy strawberries double dipped in creamy, rich chocolate? Hint, if you are in the doghouse, this one is a big winner in getting out. Just remember, you need to have them shipped overnight in order for them to be delivered in good shape.




Number 3 is chocolate covered pretzels. These are without a doubt the best that you will ever have. We recommend that you choose them as part of a trio. We’ve got trios with pretzels, nonpareils and either a half pound or 1 pound of our gourmet chocolates included.




Number 4 is our selection of Belgian chocolate. These Belgium chocolates are at the top of the chocolate hierarchy. So beautifully arranged and packaged, they almost are too beautiful to eat. But just remember, you can always get more.




So when you want to give an incredible and best chocolate gift, or just need something beautiful and delicious to enjoy for yourself. These are the top choices to try! So choose the one that you like best and send it on in confidence of a huge thank you!

Chocolate Covered Raisins - Too Good to Resist!

At the Ultimate Chocolate Shoppe, one of our favorite snack treats is to reach for a handful of rich chocolate covered raisins. Biting into a chocolate covered raisin is the perfect combination of flavors. The creamy delicious chocolate completely covering a plump, fresh raisin. Absolutely heaven!




I personally, don’t feel at all guilty when I am eating them especially if I’m having some of the dark chocolate covered raisins. I figure that I’m getting a fruit in (raisins started life as grapes) and delicious dark chocolate to help my health with all the antioxidant properties and other health friendly characteristics.




When I do want to pay attention to the sugar, I simply switch to some of our sugar free chocolate covered raisins. They taste so good that you can’t even tell they don’t have sugar in them!




Now, combining chocolate covered raisins with some chocolate covered peanuts gives a great combination of chewy taste and salty crunch if you want to mix it up a bit. Just something a little different if you like to mix and match your gourmet chocolates.




At the Ultimate Chocolate Shoppe, we offer 6 oz. snack size bags of chocolate covered raisins as well as the beautifully wrapped one lb. box to keep or to share. Enjoy some today!

Chocolate Birthday Gifts, A Sure Winner!

What is a birthday gift you can give that you know for certain it will be loved? Chocolate! Chocolate is the ideal birthday gift, no matter the age of the birthday boy or girl. It’s fun to pick out and give…and it’s even more fun to receive.



You’ll want to select a special chocolate for a special birthday. Dark chocolate covered strawberries fill this special role nicely. They are elegant and as gorgeous as they are delicious. Luscious ripe red fruit surrounded by gourmet chocolate makes a winning combination. And they are good for you too! For a unique twist, try giving chocolate-dipped blueberries, oranges or grapes. These all must be shipped overnight for freshness.



Belgium chocolates are also a rare chocolate treat. For chocolate connoisseurs who appreciate the best, Belgium chocolates make a great birthday present. Handmade, rich, intense, all-natural Belgium chocolate assortments are made with the finest grade chocolates. Whether it’s dark chocolate or truffles or an assortment, Belgium chocolates are guaranteed to be a hit. And for the vegans on your list, the Vegan Bountiful Basket contains no animal products of any kind. Belgium chocolates are perfect for when only the best will do.



Chocolate gift baskets and boxes also make great birthday presents. How about the Chocolate Covered Pretzel Gift Box? Or the Nibbler Gift Bucket with Chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered graham crackers and chocolate covered Oreos, in a clear tin sprinkled with solid foiled star chocolates and tied with a festive bow!




Chocolate birthday gifts are available in all price ranges. The Classic American Chocolate Assortment 1/2 pound box is just $15.99 for buttercrunch, chocolate butter creams, mint patties, toffee, caramels and more, in a beautiful gold box. The Chocolate Covered Pretzel Gift Box is just $18.99. The Buttercream Assortment for just $24.99 is beautiful cream see-through 1 lb. box finished with gold ribbon and a red bow.

Kids love getting chocolate for their birthday. Some choices they like are PB & J Milk Chocolate Bites. This is a great variation of the traditional peanut butter and chocolate combo – with the addition of a hint of jam. Not to be forgotten are the all-time favorite, Peanut Butter Cups. And don’t forget those yummy chocolate covered cookies for children -like Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers. Or every child’s favorite - Ore-ohs, drenched in sweet milk chocolate loveliness. Or Double Dipped Cookies - chocolate chip cookies and double dip half in dark chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate.
