The Best Gifts for Serious Chocolate Lovers

Words by Bridie Newman and Emilie Dock

Not all chocolate gifts are created equal. To truly impress the connoisseur, or mark a special birthday or anniversary, it’s time to think beyond the ordinary box.

So, what do you gift someone with a passion for chocolate? The answer lies in our Chocolate Hall, which is (ahem) choc-full of artisan creations to impress the connoisseur. Read on for a taste of our most indulgent treats – and who knows, you might even spot a few early Christmas chocolate gifts.

Mixed 24-Piece Chocolate Collection Box

Coming in at the top of the chocs in The Chocolate Hall is this crowd-pleasing chocolate collection. The assortment contains 12 different flavours: think dark chocolate raspberry, blonde espresso, biscuit butter, maple pecan caramel, pistachio and more. It makes the perfect gift to open at special occasions like Thanksgiving – with sharing encouraged, of course. Try an assortment of Harrods collection boxes and chocolate truffles, too.

Milk Chocolate Bread and Butter Slab

One of our five chocolate slabs from The Harrods Chocolaterie, this signature flavour is a fan favourite. So much so, that we sold over a tonne of it in 2024. It’s made with leftover Harrods sourdough from The Food Halls that’s blitzed, dried and fried in beurre noisette, then mixed with caramelised white chocolate and Maldon salt flakes, and sandwiched between 41% milk chocolate. A word of warning: once opened, it won’t last long.

Chocolate Strawberries and Raspberries

Surprise someone special with a box of our new snack-sized chocolate as a little pick-me-up. These vibrant boxes, inspired by the colour-coded wall in The Chocolate Hall (if you know, you know), are filled with everything from our chocolate-coated fruit and nut range, to cocoa delights like nut clusters and traditional sweets like rhubarb and custards. We recommend starting with our bestselling milk-and-white-chocolate-coated raspberries and strawberries, which are freeze-dried to preserve their crisp, sweet flavour – a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.  

Dark Chocolate Orange Bar

You needn’t wait for a special occasion to gift chocolate. The perfect ‘just because’ present is an expertly crafted bar, because we all appreciate the satisfying snap of tempered chocolate. This Harrods ‘H’ embossed dark chocolate is infused with orange, offering a zesty, grown-up take on the classic pairing. See also our white-chocolate raspberry bar and milk-chocolate salted caramel bar, or buy them together as a bundle. 

The Harrods Chocolaterie

Who needs Willy Wonka when you’ve got Harrods chocolatiers? From bonbons to stuffed slabs and topped bars, each creation is freshly crafted at The Harrods Chocolaterie using our exclusive couverture.


A firm favourite, our signature Bread & Butter Slab is made using toasted and caramelised sourdough crumbs, mixed with caramelised white chocolate. Our seasonally changing bonbons never fail to please, too. Fill a bespoke box, tailored to their taste, with the help of our in-house experts.
