Bulk Nuts for Dad’s Football Games

Posted by ChristineM in bulk nuts - (0 Comments)

Football season is here and dad loves it. Whether he’s just catching a game on his own or inviting his buddies over, he needs something to snack on that’s a little bit different from the chips and dip he gets every year. It gets old, it gets boring, and he needs something else that can store well and be just as delicious. Something healthier wouldn’t hurt either.

That’s why bulk nuts are such a great option. You can get so many different flavors all in one tray. Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, whatever it is dad likes. And if your dad doesn’t like change, that’s OK, you can get bulk of  just one kind of nut but with a variety of flavors.

Maybe he’d like them covered in sugar for a sweet treat, or a more spicy style. Just plain is great too. He’ll seriously love the thought you put in for him this sports season and maybe you’ll be able to get in on some of the deliciousness if you sit down and get through a game yourself. Take one for the team, keep dad some company, and enjoy some of the bulk nuts you bought for him. Touch down!

We’ve all heard it; some chocolate can actually be good for you, when eaten in moderation. That gives you even more of a reason to indulge in chocolate gift baskets! Especially if those baskets have dark chocolate in them. Because dark chocolate is so close to the original cocoa and doesn’t have many additives, it’s actually really healthy, assuming it is eaten in moderation.

There have been a lot of health benefits shown from consuming dark chocolate, like lower blood pressure. Just 6.3 grams a day, which is only about 30 calories, has been proven to lower both systolic and diastolic pressure. That’s great news for anyone and everyone who likes dark chocolate! But beyond that, there have also been recent studies showing dark chocolate helps lower the risk of stroke. That’s double the good news for your heart’s health. It also good news for your taste buds.

So get dark chocolate gift baskets for your friends and family and even for yourself.  No one is going to argue with such a deliciously good way to take care of yourself. You can get dark chocolate and a whole lot more at Chocolicious NY. So enjoy a little bit of indulgence knowing it can actually be good for you!

Fruit Gift Baskets to Send Condolences

Posted by ChristineM in dried fruits | fruit baskets - (0 Comments)

Times can be tough when someone has suffered a loss. Whether a family member, a friend, or even a pet, condolences are always nice when they are heartfelt. Sometimes, as an outsider, you may not know what to say or do. The best thing you can do is let them know you care in a subtle and not overly pushy way. A great way to do this is with fruit gift baskets. It’s a little thing that  really helps and is more substantial than just giving comfort.

Not only will fruit gift baskets come across as a sweet gesture, especially with a honest note attached, but they are also helpful in that often, people are so preoccupied making funeral arrangements and dealing with other issues, they don’t have time to go shopping for food. It’s take out every night, or sometimes nothing at all. Giving someone a fruit gift basket gives them a healthy choice in food that is ready for them, so they don’t have to take time out from their important tasks.

So the next time you hear of someone losing a loved one, try a gift basket. It could really make a bigger difference than you would think.

Dried Fruit As a Sweet Treat

Posted by ChristineM in dried fruits - (0 Comments)

Sometimes people, especially parents with their kids, may stray from chocolate because they feel like they want a healthier choice. But we all get the craving for sweets from time to time. The great thing about fruit in general is that it is loaded with natural sugars, but a really healthy choice over all. Dried fruit is especially sweet and a great alternative if you don’t always want to be eating a candy bar.

You can get dried fruit mixed in platters or just by the pound of a single fruit you love. Pineapple, papaya, bananas and apples are common and popular choices, but really any fruit can be dried and offered as a treat. They are also great to mix in with other foods, like create your own trail mix with bulk nuts or put them in your cereal in the morning.

It’s also just a nice change of taste from chocolate! Chocolate is delicious, but when you want something to offer guests or just for yourself that’s a little different, dried fruit is a good way to go. Keep it out on a platter when it’s time for dessert so your guests can pick and choose which delicious fruit they want to enjoy most!

Posted by ChristineM in candy gift baskets - (0 Comments)

School is coming back in session shortly. Maybe it’s your child’s first day at a new school or they are just nervous about returning. Maybe they need a little confidence boost and something to say “way to go on your first day!” It’s a nice gesture to make your  child feel like they accomplished something big. So candy gift baskets may be the best thing you can give them.

Get candy gift baskets and have them waiting at home on the dining room table. Imagine their face when they get home and see a gift basket for them, ready to dig in and celebrate being so brave on their first day of school! They probably won’t believe it’s for them.

Make sure you get all the candies they love and add a nice little card of encouragement. You’ll be the coolest parent ever and when they head back to school the next day, they can brag how their mom or dad got them a gift basket. They’ll be the envy of all their friends. They’ll also love the sweets! It’s always nice to make your child feel good, so try it when they head back to school!

Chocolate Gift Baskets Will Impress Your New Girlfriend

Posted by ChristineM in chocolate gift baskets - (0 Comments)

So you’re in a new relationship and you are experiencing that thrill of the honey moon period. You’ve become a little bit more serious than casual dating, but it’s still only been a couple of months so you are doing all you can to keep her impressed and interested in sticking with you. Still, you have taken to introducing each other as “boyfriend” and “girlfriend”, so you have that going for you. But you need to do something romantic, unprovoked.

Chocolate gift baskets are a perfect “just because” gift that she will swoon over. Flowers are nice but cliche, and even a heart box of chocolates would be expected. But if you send an entire chocolate gift  basket to her home without her knowing, that would really make her feel great. You can write something endearing on the card and imagine her face when she gets home and opens it. And you know you’ll be getting a phone call right after she sees what you got her!

When you look into chocolate gift baskets, go for ones with chocolate she loves, whether it’s milk over dark or truffles over chocolate covered nuts. Chocolicious NY can get it sent to her house in beautiful condition, void of melting! So don’t hesitate and do something special, for no reason!

Bulk Nuts Make Great Party Favors

Posted by ChristineM in bulk nuts - (0 Comments)

You might be thinking of a unique party favor to give out after a dinner party, or birthday party, or any other get together you might be throwing. After all, it’s nice to give your guests a little something as a thank you for coming and spending their precious time with you! Bulk nuts can make a great party favor.

There are more different flavors of nuts than you might think. Besides peanuts, almonds and cashews, which may come to mind first, there’s also brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans and more. And beyond just the different kinds of nuts, there are also different ways they are prepared. Dry roasted, cinnamon roasted, honey glazes, chocolate covered,  sesame covered, and all other kinds of great additions really change the flavor and make them a sweet treat.

When handing them out as party favors, you can get bulk nuts in a variety of flavors and mix them yourself, or get small gift baskets of pre-mixed nuts. Either way, your guests will like them. Of course, if you have that one guest who is allergic to nuts, you can always choose an alternative like a nice chocolate gift basket!

Chocolate Gift Baskets and the Truffle

Posted by ChristineM in chocolate gift baskets - (0 Comments)

Truffles are heavenly. There’s no way around it. Often the best part of chocolate gift baskets (at least in my opinion), their hard shell and gooey ganache insides makes them a delight to bite into. They are one of the most indulgent chocolates and if you get an entire basket full of them, you know the person who gave it to you really likes you.

The first ever truffle was created in 1895 in France. Where else could such a delectable chocolate have come from? Since then, there are now 3 different types of truffles. The American truffle is half egg shaped and made with a mixture of dark or milk chocolates and butterfat. In some cases they use hardened coconut oil to create it.

The European truffle is made with a syrup and cocoa and milk powder base that also includes fats and other ingredients created in an oil in water emulsion effect.

The Swiss truffle is made by mixing chocolate with a boiling concoction of cream and butter poured into a mold to be set, then sprinkled with cocoa powder. They have a much shorter shelf life than the American truffle or the next one, the European truffle.

All three truffles have a slightly different taste and texture to them. If you can try them all, go for it! And if you can get chocolate gift baskets that include all three, you are in for a real treat!

Sugar Free Candy and Chocolate Gift Baskets

Posted by ChristineM in candy gift baskets - (0 Comments)

We all love enjoying sweets, but some of us need to be a little more aware of our sugar intake. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have the sweet, sweet enjoyment of delicious chocolate gift baskets, or a nice candy gift basket. Whether you are buying for yourself or a friend, Chocolicious NY has sugar-free deliciousness for all, that everyone can enjoy.

What chocolatey goodness can be enjoyed? Try a few different kinds of truffles. Rum, coffee, mint and traditional truffles are all available sugar free. Like nuts? Almond clusters may be your choice. And  you’ve got plenty of candy to choose from as well.

If you are buying for someone else who needs to enjoy sugar-free sweets, they are going to love that you actually thought about them. I had a friend who was diabetic and could only eat sugar-free chocolate, but her friends always forgot and bought her regular chocolate gift baskets that she had to throw out or give away. It bummed her out, but every once in a while someone remembered and got her chocolate she could enjoy. And that would make her day. So make your friend’s day and get them some awesome sugar-free sweets.

 

One Day Chocolate Gift Baskets Will Be Printed

Posted by ChristineM in chocolate gift baskets - (0 Comments)

Recently researchers at Exeter University have figured out how to print images out of, you guessed it, chocolate. Now it’s certainly not the first form of 3D printing but it is the most delicious! And imagine the possibilities. Having the name of your loved one printed in an awesome font in their favorite kind of chocolate. Or having the image of the birthday boy printed out as one giant bar. Seems like a pretty sweet deal (get it?).

But since this is the first and only chocolate printer as of right now, it may be a while before you can start printing your favorite celebrity into edible goodness. Still, chocolate gift baskets are already awesome choices as they are, with so many different flavors and arrangements. They work for any holiday or event and would make great incentives at work as well. However you want to use them and whoever you want to give them to, nobody is going to say no to a basket full of chocolate.

And maybe one day, chocolate printers will be a household norm along with robot maids and hover cars. Now that’s the kind of future I want to live in!
