The Best Gifts for Serious Chocolate Lovers
Words by Emilie Dock
Not all chocolate gifts are created equal. To truly impress the connoisseur, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary or just because, it’s time to think beyond the ordinary box. You’ll find all manner of truffles, bars, bonbons, pralines, rochers and more in The Chocolate Hall, which is (ahem) choc-full of artisan creations. Read on for our top picks.
Mixed 24-Piece Chocolate Collection Box
Coming in at the top of the chocs in The Chocolate Hall is this crowd-pleasing chocolate collection. The assortment contains 12 different flavours: think dark chocolate raspberry, blonde espresso, biscuit butter, maple pecan caramel, pistachio and more. It makes the perfect gift to open at special occasions like Thanksgiving - with sharing encouraged, of course. Try an assortment of Harrods collection boxes and chocolate truffles, too.
Milk Chocolate Bread and Butter Slab
One of our five chocolate slabs from The Harrods Chocolaterie, this signature flabour is a fan favourite. So much so, that we sold over a tonne of it in 2024. It's made with leftover Harrods sourdough from The Food Halls that's blitzed, dried and fried in beurre noisette, then mixed with caramelised white chocolate and Maldon salt flakes, and sandwiched between 41% milk chocolate. A word of warning: once opened, it won't last long.
Chocolate Strawberries and Raspberries
Surprise someone special with a box of our new snack-sized chocolate as a little pick-me-up. These vibrant boxes, inspired by the colour-coded wall in The Chocolate Hall (if you know, you know), are filled with everything from our chocolate-covered fruit and nut range, to cocoa delights like nut clusters and traditional sweets like rhubarb and custards. We recommend starting with our bestselling milk-and-white-chocolate-coated raspberries and strawberries, which are freeze-dried to preserve their crisp, sweet flavour – a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Triple Nut Topped Bar
If this chocolate sounds decadent, that's because it it. Part of a new collection of topped and filled bars, it combines melt-in-the-mouth milk chocolate with a generous scattering of walnuts, caramelised pecans and hazelnuts. The play of textures will have you snapping off another chunk, then another, then another, until, before you know it, it has vanished. It's just that good.
The Harrods Chocolaterie
Our chocolatier elves have been busy crafting everything from festive flavoured bonbons and milk-chocolate rocher trees, to showstopping gingerbread houses, beautifully crafted from white, blonde, milk and dark chocolate – all resting on a bread-and-butter slab. Visit them in The Chocolate Hall to witness cocoa magic in action.
Charbonnel et Walker Milk-Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Thins
Sophistication in chocolate form, Charbonnel et Walker's creations are hand-crafted to perfection from Madame Charbonnel's over-100-year old recipes. These wafer-thin discs of premium milk-chocolate are no exception, providing a satisfyingly snap when bitting into, then melting in the mouth to reveal flavours of sea-salted caramel. Presented in a charming gold-gilded tubular box, they are as decadent as they look.
Pierre Marcolini Plumier Petits Bonheurs Pistachio
There could hardly be a more fitting name for these chocolates. Translating to ‘little joys’ or ‘small pleasures’ in French, the moniker – conceived by monsieur Pierre Marcolini – captures the idea that luxury and happiness can come from something as simple as a piece of (expertly crafted) chocolate. This box spotlights the limited-edition pistachio praline flavour, enrobed in white chocolate and enriched with black sesame, kinako, crispy kataïfi and Quimper biscuits.
Neuhaus The Timeless Masterpieces Ballotin
You don’t always know a cocoa connoisseur’s preferences. Dark, milk or white? Nougatine, cream, ganache? This ballotin box by Belgian brand Neuhaus maximises your chances of success. With a wide assortment of flavours, it’s bound to include some favourites and may introduce them to exciting new combinations, from Belgian waffle praline with honey to Arabica coffee and nougatine.
Venchi 1878 Large Valentine’s Chocolate Box
For a romantic gesture, this heart-shaped box of chocolates from Venchi 1878 is as sweet as they come. Inside, your Valentine will find the Tiramisú with layers of coffee, mascarpone and chocolate, Caramel & Hazelnut Pearl with caramel and dark chocolate, and Strawberry & Cream Chocomousse with white chocolate.
