Chocolate gift ideas for large budgets

#1 Chocolate experience


One of the best gifts for chocolate lovers who also love to travel is a chocolate experience. Cool experiences you can think off are visits to cacao farms or chocolate factories. Or chocolate-making classes, or staying in a chocolate hotel (yes, this is a thing).

Simply head over to Viator and search for “chocolate” and a destination of your choice and you will find awesome chocolate experiences.

Some examples include a chocolate workshop in Brussels, chocolate tasting in Maui, or a chocolate tour in Vallarta.


#2 Mexican hot chocolate

I am a huge chocolate lover, but if I have to pick one of these gifts for chocolate lovers, I would probably pick this Mexican hot chocolate.

If you’ve ever been to Mexico or Guatemala (where they serve similar hot chocolate) and you’ve tried their hot chocolate, you probably understand why I love it so much.

Hot chocolate in Mexico is made with cacao blocks that are mixed with hot milk or water (and yes it’s even delicious with water). These blocks are made from cacao butter, sugar, nuts, and spices.

And it’s that mix of nuts and spices which makes the hot chocolate so delicious.

So yeah, if you are looking for hot chocolate gift ideas, this is the best gift you can get.
