Chocolate Fruit Cake. Not
your average fruit cake, this rich chocolate cake is filled with
pecans, sweet cherries and chocolate chunks. A delicious new take on
the traditional Christmas gift. You can also get the moist, rich,
chocolate Fruit Cake in “two-bite morsels.” Each is chock full of
pecans, chocolate chips and cherries.

Hawaiian Chocolate Brownies. On a
recent month-long trip, the only souvenir I allowed myself was four
boxes of chocolate brownies from Big Island Candies. I carried them
around to eight cities without opening one box. My chocoholic
friends were really impressed not just with my willpower, but with
the incredible brownies. My favorite flavor is the chocolate covered
Hawaiian Macadamia Nut Brownies. Eight 1.1 oz. individually wrapped
brownie squares are gently placed in a gold gift box.

 10. Visions of sugar plums. If you have
visions of sugarplums, don’t be distracted. This wonderful invention
works for chocolate and loud noises. Best of all, it helps you sleep
on an airplane. I can’t go anywhere without my Dreamhelmet Sleep
Mask Sound Blocking Pillow. It’s as essential as chocolate in my
life. And it comes in an evocative chocolate brown.

 9. Jenn’s Chocolate Mint Martinis. A
toast to the holidays is always better when it includes chocolate.
And mint adds just the right holiday twist. The oomph comes from the
vodka in these pre-mixed cocktails Individual servings make it easy
to share with friends. Or if you are feeling like scrooge—save them
all for yourself.

scrumptious. These light as-air chocolate truffle centers, covered
in smooth Swiss crème are hand-decorated to look just like sweet
little ladybugs.

 7. Carousel Cakes.
Cakes from this New York-based,
family-run bakery founded in 1965, were once only enjoyed by patrons
of the legendary Zabar's, Katz's Delicatessen and Friar's Club and

anywhere can now relish their 7” homemade Chocolate Chocolate Chip,
New York Black Out, Chocolate Truffle and Chocolate Outrage cakes

5. Island Princess Chocolates.
All my
friends know I am a princess. But someone who really understands my
passions sent me the Island Princess Deluxe Toffee Coated Macadamia
Nuts covered in Luscious Milk Chocolate. They even indicate the
serving size is 4 pieces. I like the way the Hawaiians think.

 4. How sophisticated is your chocolate palate?
Premium chocolate has all the sophistication, allure and
presence of fine wines. Unfortunately, most consumers don’t think
about chocolate beyond the bin at the supermarket check-out counter!
Chocolate Sophisticate’s mission is to educate consumers about the
many varieties of cacao beans and variable cacao content, and the
unique flavor these qualities impart in super-premium chocolates
from different regions around the world. Try these chocolate tasting
flights so you can figure what percentage of cacao you like and what
region of beans you prefer.

3. Coco for people who are counting calories
and craving chocolate.
These organic baked chocolate crisps
taste much more decadent than 90 calories a bag. About a dozen,
thin, crispy cookies come in each no-cheat bag. Six bags come in
each box. The original flavor is a bit like a chocolate gingersnap.
There are also cinnamon and mocha flavors.

 2. Hawaiian Chocolate Cookies.
Is there
anything better than chocolate and macadamia nuts? A dipped
chocolate shortbread assortment from Big Island Candies. There are
enough variations between the caramel dipped, dark chocolate dipped,
white dipped and the chocolate shortbread that you can fantasize for
days over the free catalogue.

 1. Recycle. Eat your Christmas tree.
Don’t mess with dried out trees. If you are smart enough to have a
chocolate Christmas tree, you can just eat it all as your last
holiday indulgence before your diet starts in January. Chocolate
