Giving Mothers Day Chocolate Goodies

By Angel Dudley


Moms are special people who deserve to receive treats that are as sweet as they are. Luxurious bath robes, beautiful floral arrangements, sparkly jewelry and lovely clothing are all wonderful but there is another option that will appeal to her discerning tastes. There are some amazing Mothers Day chocolate gift ideas that may be absolutely perfect.

This confectionery wonder has been around for centuries and is among the most sought after pleasures for people all over the world. Though each brand has their own recipe, this treat comes in four basic types. There is milk, dark, white and gourmet, each one having an individual taste and unique characteristics that separate them.

A special advantage this treat has over others is that it really does have properties that make an individual feel happy. The cocoa plant has ingredients like phenylethylamine, tryptophan and anandamide that actually stimulate the pleasure center in the brain and give a person a sense of euphoria. Most people say they can feel the soothing effects from the very first bite.

As delicious as these smooth and creamy treats may taste, many formulas also have health benefits. Studies have shown that most blends contain minerals, antioxidants and flavonoids that are good for the blood and for the heart. Keep in mind that while a little bit of this confection each week may be quite beneficial, consuming too much should be avoided for obvious reasons like weight gain and sugar overload.

Finding the right gift idea starts with knowing the individual personality for whom it is to be purchased. This is perhaps one of the most versatile options available because it comes in such a wide variety of flavors and presentations. Confectioners use their creativity to come up with new and interesting configurations that will appeal to even the pickiest of people.

There are the traditional favorites such as truffles and chocolate covered snacks like pretzels, peanuts, almonds, macadamias, pecans, cashews and raisins. For those who prefer something a bit softer, the confections can be filled with such goodies as cherries, liqueurs, toffee, caramel, coconut and even espresso. The idea of mixing the sweetness of cocoa blends with contrasting flavors was sheer genius.

One of the more recent innovations has become one of the most popular ever largely due to the myriad of ways in which it may be presented. Covering fruit in this melted confection has long been a pleasurable choice, but now it gets a creative upgrade by being shaped into the form of flowers. Combining the deliciousness of the food with the beauty of a bouquet has an immediate wow factor that never fails to bring a smile to the receiver's face.

Many of these Mothers Day chocolate gifts can be personalized to provide that added touch. Having the presentation packaged in a beautiful vase, a quaint basket or in a keepsake tin allows the giver to find something that speaks to the receiver's tastes and personality. The application of feminine motifs and attractive boxes make this option perfect for an occasion that honors such wonderful women.
