While Santa might get a plate of cookies, chocolates are often that little treat which brings more merry to any day. From the iconic chocolates that grandma always serve to a peppermint infused flavor, there are almost as many options as there are chocolates on the shelf.
Russell Stover Chocolates are a holiday tradition in many households. From carefully choosing one of the truffles from that ribbon wrapped box to individually wrapped candies, there is an option for the table, Christmas Stocking or other gift.
While that candy box makes a statement on the table, Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Squares are another holiday chocolate tradition. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the seasonal candy.
The specialty flavor is perfect as that little bite. From the slightly crunchy texture to the bright, minty flavor, it is the classic candy to be sitting on the table all season long.
Additionally, it can be transformed into a wide array of desserts. From a topping on a brownie or chocolate cake to being folded into ice cream or a layer in a trifle, the possibilities are many.
Another classic chocolate that is a favorite during the holidays is Godiva. That golden box is often a Valentine’s Day favorite, but it is equally as celebratory for the holidays. With its festive red ribbon, anyone would be happy to unfurl that décor.
From the classic assorted chocolates to even a cherry cordial box, Godiva makes a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer. These chocolates can be the sweet item on a cheese board, too. There is always a reason to have a box of Godiva chocolates in the house.
While these options might be more elevated chocolate choices, there are other classic chocolates that are parts of many people’s holiday celebrations. From M&M’s to Hershey’s Kisses to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, there is a candy for every craving and occasion.
Even if the oven is filled with delicious aroma, the table is overflowing with food, and the glasses are filled with spirited libations, chocolates are the sweetness that flavors the memories for years to come. Ready to unwrap another food tradition?
