Christmas Hot Chocolate
The novelty of a perfectly curated Christmas stocking never gets old, no matter if it’s your 25th Christmas or your 60th. Little surprises are always welcome — especially when they come filled to the brim in a Christmas morning stocking.
So, if you’re searching for Christmas gift ideas that are adequately sized to stuff into a stocking next to a tangerine or two, we have a product collection designed to meet your gifting needs as well as your loved ones’ cacao cravings.
Take a look at our top Christmas stocking filler picks, including everything from melt-in-the-mouth chocolate penguin characters to high-cacao Selectors.
The best stocking fillers should surprise, inspire, and delight — and that’s exactly what our products are designed to do.
Each cacao creation has been made with the utmost care by our in-house chocolatiers, so your loved ones can expect a bite filled with flavour and character to kickstart their Christmas morning.
This cheerful troupe of twelve round-belly penguins has been crafted from our mellow 40% milk chocolate, perfect for little elves, and even grown ups who prefer milder cacao flavours.
Each one of our A Dozen Portly Chocolate Penguins is filled with whimsy and joy, making them the perfect small Christmas gift to bring a grin to any recipient’s face on Christmas morning.
Expect the smoothest, creamiest bite thanks to the deeper, nuanced flavours of our house milk chocolate, combined with the velvety melt of our high cacao butter white chocolate, always crafted with our “more cacao, less sugar” philosophy in mind.
Inside each ribbon-topped gift box lies eight miniature chocolates, each with their own festive cacao recipe. The Christmas Pocket Selection is perfectly sized for festive stockings, and offers each recipient a mini cacao tasting experience — the best way to start Christmas.
From our rich Simple Dark Bauble and sticky Treacle Tart to the gooey Caramel Supernova and zingy Chocolate Orange pot, your giftee will be transported through a variety of textures and a balance of flavours, and that’s before Christmas dinner has been served.
It’s a small chocolate gift box that packs a big punch — and if that’s not the perfect stocking filler, what is?
Bright and bold, our Christmas Chocolate Supernovas are perfect for cacao aficionados with a love for all things flavour.
One of our top picks for this year are our Clementine Caramel Christmas Chocolate Supernovas, combining silky, molten caramel with a vibrant hit of clementine. The citrus zing adds lift and brightness to the palate, while the creamy caramel envelopes the taste buds in the sweetest embrace.
Small enough to savour nibble by nibble, or in an all-in-one bite, these Exuberantly Fruity supernovas are all your loved ones need to warm up their winter evenings. They’re also available in Salted Caramel, Hazelnut Praline, Caffe Latte Torte, Pink Champagne, and Honey & Cashew varieties.
Chocolate characters are a classic choice for stocking fillers, and for good reason. Chocolate characters know how to lift the spirits with their cheeky charm and delicious taste, delivering festive magic in every snap, nibble, and bite.
Our Milk Chocolate Jolly Penguin has been designed and moulded with incredible detail by our very own Chocolate Sculptress, and he’s donned everything from a delectable sloped bobble hat to vibrant welly boots — all edible, of course, crafted from our silky smooth 40% milk chocolate.
Available in a several varieties, including Caramel, White, and Unbelievably Vegan* Nutmilk chocolate, it’s a clear stocking filler winner for any lucky recipient.
*We believe our Nutmilk chocolate is suitable for vegans. However, as it is made in the same environment as our milk chocolate, we cannot guarantee it is free from milk.
Our Chocolate Selectors are perfectly portioned into small boxes, ideal for sharing out or tucking away for a quiet moment. The best thing about our Selectors? The variety on offer. For the uncle who loves dark chocolate, to your cousin who loves all things patisserie, these are the Selectors that always have a place on our Christmas list….
Our Dark Gianduja Chocolate Penguin Selector features a set of six dapper chocolate penguins filled with smooth, hazelnut-rich gianduja. The deep and delectable cacao shell balances perfectly with its silky, nutty filling, offering a beautifully balanced bite every time.
Each Cherry Deluxe Selector features a whole kirsch-coasked cherry, dunked into amaretto ganache and lathered in milk and dark chocolate. It’s everything you imagine it to be and more — luxurious, intense, and rich.
Combining whipped milk chocolate cream with a glug of champagne and a hint of strawberry, our Pink Champagne Truffles Selector is light, fruity, and made for celebrating the best Christmas moments. In fact, it’s even one of our most popular stocking fillers for her…
Cocktail and cacao lovers rejoice. Our Salted Espresso Martini Chocolate Selector combines organic Turkish coffee and cacao vodka with a pinch of salt and an oozing caramel chocolate casing. It’s an after-dinner drink in one bite, offering bitter, sweet, bold, and aromatic flavours all at once.
