If you prefer an elegant yet classic box: La Maison du Chocolat’s Coffret Maison Dark and Milk Chocolate was previously recommended for those who want a luxurious but not too extravagant chocolate assortment. The chocolates are heavy on chocolate fillings and mainly feature pralines and a few fruit-infused ganaches. The packaging, resembling brown pebbled leather, is luxurious yet subtle. However, in our recent test, these chocolates were surpassed by our current recommendations in terms of flavor and texture.
If you enjoy a variety of flavors, but prefer a more delicate approach: The L.A. Burdick Signature Chocolate Assortment, presented in a wooden box, received positive feedback. The square chocolates offer a blend of French-inspired ganaches, including several boozy options like Macallan whisky and green Chartreuse. However, they are flavored with a lighter touch compared to some other selections. These chocolates are a safe and versatile choice that would likely be suitable as professional gifts. L.A. Burdick, known for its adorable chocolate mice, is based in New Hampshire and has stores in New York City, Boston, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
