 chocolate truffle gift baskets

Cookies Brownies & Fudge Gift Baskets are the perfect gifts for chocoholics!  So if you have a friend or relative who has a sweet tooth and is partial to a piece of chocolate of candy, why not give them a chocolate themed gift basket to celebrate their next special occasion.  What could be better than receiving a basket full of beautiful chocolate truffles or candy bars …  ?   

Innovative Ways To Create A Chocolate Gift Basket

A chocolate filled gift basket would be a great gift for the chocolate lover. If done correctly, a chocolate gift basket can make the recipient’s heart water. The contents of the gift basket can make it stand out.

The more time put into making a gift basket, the more decorative and attractive it can be. This can be appealing to the recipient of the gift basket and it might make them not want to open it, but display it for decoration. A chocolate gift basket can use different kinds of containers; it’s not limited to just a wicker basket with a handle. You can get more creative and choose a basket without a handle, or one that has a distinct shape. You can also select a festive colored box-shaped container, or smaller boxes stacked on top of each other to create a tower.

The liners for the gift basket can match the basket or container, using a white, cream, beige brown, or gold color. Liners add depth to the basket to make it stand out. You can request plain or decorative paper liners. Some people prefer to use shredded paper.

What goes in the gift basket depends on the recipient’s taste. If you’re not sure what they like, you may want to have someone else ask them. If this is a surprise, you don’t want to arouse suspicion. Most gift baskets have one item that is larger than the others to make it stand out. You don’t have to select that one big thing; you can have an arrangement of smaller chocolate items and it would be just as good.

There are many different items to choose from to make your gift basket look special. If you’re into luxury chocolates, you can choose a bar or miniature sized box of Godiva or Lindt chocolates. Luxury chocolates are worth the money and they show that you have good taste. Or if those brands are not in your budget, Ghiradelli chocolates might be an option for you.

For the smaller chocolate items, you can add whatever you want. Mix the items so there will be a variety. The smaller items cost less and complement the larger item(s). Some suggestions include hot chocolate mix, miniature chocolate bars, chocolate kisses, chocolate coins, chocolate hearts and small molded chocolate items. These fillers can add value to the gift basket. You can also choose to add chocolate or fudge sauces, toppings or samples of chocolate gourmet items to the mix.

If you’re looking for something different, try chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate cookies, chocolate chips or chocolate covered raisins. You can use the chocolate sauces as a fruit dip. However, you can’t let it sit around too long or it will spoil. If you’re looking for a gift basket with a different twist, try brownies-in-a-jar. This will be great for someone who likes to cook. If you do give this as a gift, be sure to have the instructions along with it.

You can slightly deviate from having an all chocolate gift basket. You can use substitutes like peanut butter, coffee, or vanilla. The recipient may like that arrangement better, because there is a variety. As you can see, there is no shortage of ideas for your chocolate gift basket.
