Decisions, Decisions: What to Throw Into Your Chocolate Gift Basket

Article Category: Food and Drinks

Author Name: Kevin Lance

It used to be that flowers were the fail-safe, sure-fire way to make a girl happy, whether it's your anniversary, her birthday, or Mother's Day. These days, there is a better deal than your usual bunch of flowers: chocolate gift baskets. Women simply love chocolates. So if you are thinking of a great present for any of the women in your life (your daughter, significant other, wife or mother), putting a chocolate gift basket together especially for her will definitely put a smile on her face.

But first, if you intend to give your chocolate gift basket a personal touch, that is, do it yourself, you need to know what you are up against by knowing the types of chocolates there are. There are several basic types of chocolates, based on the composition that you want to find in your chocolate gift basket.

The first type is the white chocolate. Although the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not technically consider white chocolate as chocolate, the chocolate industry maintains that it is part of the chocolate family, no matter how odd it may relatively be. White chocolate is a made from cocoa butter mixed with sugar and vanilla, milk and emulsifier. Other brands are also formulated with certain types of aroma and flavoring. The reason why white chocolate is so colored is because the mixture used to make it does not contain any of the non-fat ingredients that can be found in the cacao bean. This type of chocolate is low in cocoa solids, which is why its flavor tends to be soft and mild.

Another type of chocolate that has to be in your chocolate gift basket is the milk chocolate. Unlike white chocolate, milk chocolate is formulated with cocoa solids, which is the same substance that gives chocolates a darker color. Milk chocolates typically have anywhere between 10 percent to 20 percent cocoa solids mixed with about 12 percent milk solids.

The rule in chocolates is that the higher the concentration of cocoa solids, the darker the color gets. Dark chocolate, for example, has a higher cocoa solid content and relatively low milk solid content, which cannot be more than 12 percent. In fact, other brands have absolutely no milk content. Dark chocolates also come in sweet, semi-sweet, bittersweet and unsweetened varieties, depending on the sugar content.

Normally, the secret to putting together a nice chocolate gift basket is to have a variety of items. But of course, when shopping for stuff to put in your chocolate gift basket, you also have to consider the recipient's preferences. For example, stay away from white chocolate if you know that the recipient doesn't like it, and try to pool a variety of brands and flavors of milk and dark chocolates instead. For best results, you can also sample the items before you throw them into the basket to make sure that they pass your standards. This way, you can be sure that every bit of chocolate in your chocolate gift basket will suit the taste of your intended recipient.
