Picking the perfect chocolates for Mother’s Day

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your appreciation than with a box of delectable chocolates? Nothing says that you care quite like a box of Mother’s Day chocolates, but with so many options out there, it can be difficult to know how to pick the best chocolates for Mother’s Day.

Whoever mum is to you, here’s our guide on choosing the perfect chocolate gift for March 19th…

Consider your Mum’s preferences 

First things first, consider your Mum's preferences. Does she have a sweet tooth or prefer something a bit more bitter? Does she like nuts, fruits, or just plain chocolate? Take some time to think about what she likes and what kind of flavours she enjoys. This will help you narrow down your options and ensure that you pick a box of Mother’s Day chocolates that she will truly love.

If your Mum is a fan of dark chocolate, look for a box that includes a variety of intensities, from mild to bold - just like our With Love Chocolate Truffle Selection Box. And for those with a sweet tooth, opt for a box of praline-filled milk chocolates, like our Milk Praline Chocolate Truffles Box. Fruity white chocolates (with a touch of tipple) like our Raspberry Champagne Truffles are also a fine option for lovers of creamy, light textures.

If your Mum adores a plain milk chocolate bar, then we recommend our London Edition Milk Chocolate Bar. It’s a melt-in-the-mouth combination of cream and classic tastes - all packaged in a quintessentially British wrapper! And for the plant-based Mums, what could be better than our Vegan Avocado Chocolate Bar?

Look for a high cocoa content

Cocoa is the key component in chocolate that gives it its heavenly flavour and aroma. This precious ingredient is sourced from the cocoa tree, which is native to Central and South America, and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and rituals.

The cocoa beans are carefully harvested, fermented, and roasted to unlock their full potential. The resulting cocoa nibs are then ground into a fine powder, which is the foundation of all chocolate products.

Not only does cocoa provide a luscious taste and aroma, but it also boasts numerous health benefits. Cocoa is packed with antioxidants, minerals, and mood-boosting compounds, making it a guilt-free indulgence that you can savour without reservation.

Opt for luxury brands

At Love Cocoa, we combine ethically sourced cocoa with high-quality, luxury ingredients to make our utterly delectable, decadent chocolates. 

We use premium cocoa beans for a richer, more complex flavour profile in comparison to cheaper, mass-produced chocolate. And when you’re giving chocolate to a loved one, you want to make sure that you’re indulging them in a treat that’s doing good, as well as tasting good. Our chocolates are always made from ethical and sustainable cocoa, and we work with farmers who are paid a fair price for their crops. 

By opting for a conscious brand like Love Cocoa, you’re not only treating your Mum to delicious chocolates, but you’re also supporting sustainable and ethical practices in the cocoa industry, so you can indulge without guilt. 

Combine flavours and textures

When it comes to choosing the chocolates themselves, consider a mix of flavours and textures. This will give your Mum a variety of options to choose from and make the experience more exciting. Look for boxes that include a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolates, as well as some filled with fruits, nuts, or other decadent fillings. This will add depth and complexity to the flavours, and give your Mum a truly indulgent experience.

If your Mum is a fan of nuts, look for a box that includes hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios, such as our Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles. Or for those who enjoy silky caramel, our Salted Caramel Liquid Chocolate Truffles are a heavenly choice.

Presentation is key

Presentation is important when it comes to Mother's Day chocolates because it adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness and care to the gift. When you take the time to present chocolates in an attractive and visually appealing way, it shows your Mum that you put effort and consideration into the gift.

That’s why all of our chocolates are packaged beautifully. At Love Cocoa, all of our packaging is exquisitely designed by us in London with care and attention to detail. Each of our chocolate bars features a pattern that is representative of its unique flavour. For example, our yellow hexagons are featured on our Honeycomb Chocolate Bar, and our Maldon Sea Salt Chocolate Bar (that just so happens to be vegan) is packaged in a beautiful wave design. 

We also like to get creative with our chocolate bar “window” packaging. Just take a look at our Birthday Cake Chocolate Bar, or our Love Salted Caramel Bar to see what all the fuss is about!
