Tempted yet?
Okay, this gift isn’t edible, but it does look good enough to eat. This eyeshadow palette from Too Faced features an assortment of chocolate-inspired shades, with a hint of gold, that were formulated using real cocoa powder.

If they like experimenting in chocolate work, they’ll be excited to get the proper tools. This Chocolate Tempering Stone by JEmarble. Tempering chocolate is an art. Alton Brown explains that it’s all about bringing the temperature of melted chocolate slowly so the right kinds of crystals form.
Properly tempered chocolate has a gorgeous glossy shine to it and a professional snap. Chocolatiers and professional bakers use a tempering stone like this marble one by spreading the chocolate across the cool surface with a chocolate tempering spatula.
These types of stones slabs are a lifesaver for alls sorts of baking including keeping your butter cold when you’re working with a laminated pastry dough (think croissants).
I’ve featured the smallest size of marble tempering stone here which is eight by 12 inches but it comes in four different sizes all the way up to 16 by 24 inches.

The bars included are 47% cacao Edamame Sea Salt, 72% cacao Peruvian Dark with Nibs, 85% cacao Contamama Single-Varietal, 61% cacao Boharat Spice, and 30% cacao Cayenne Veracruz Orange.
I’ve tried samples of the Edamame Sea Salt and Cayenne Veracruz Orange a couple of years ago and was extremely impressed with the creaminess of the chocolate and the intense flavor of the additives. (There were actual dried edamame beans in the bar!) I highly recommend Jcoco chocolate and buy some for my mother-in-law every Christmas.

If your person is a hot chocolate aficionado, get them this Self-Stirring Cocoa Mug and they’ll never have to deal with all their chocolate settling on the bottom of their mug.
This insulated mug has a tiny little fan blade at the very bottom of it that is activated by hot water and the difference in temperatures is what creates the fan movement. There are no batteries required or even a need to charge the mug. It runs on the hot water alone.
The beverage has to be at least 158 degrees Fahrenheit to activate the stirring motion, but boiling water is 212 so you should be okay. How well does it work? Your results might vary but for the money, it’s worth it as an interesting gift that will get them excited to try it out. (If the idea of a self-stirring mug is interesting but you’re not willing to take the risk with this physics-run mug, there are battery-powered self-stirring mugs.)
Because it runs on hot water, it’s not meant for cold beverages. It’s insulated so it keeps your drink warm but this also means the mug will need to be hand-washed. This mug is also available in dark blue.

The design has four attached compartments around it for marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate (of course), or whatever else you might want to try to make s’mores with. It’s an eye-catching feature at a party that will get folks excited.

For any chocoholic, you can give them a decadent experience that is soothing to the body, delivering lots of skin love and a dose of chocolate aromatherapy too. This warming body scrub from Organic Shop delivers the goods with all-natural ingredients that they’ll feel good about using.
We can’t help but love the cute tub it comes in, which looks more like Ben & Jerry’s than body scrub, but it’s what’s inside that counts.

Each one holds six ounces, which means they’re the perfect size for all those tasty little prepackaged hot cocoa mixes.
Another cute gift that could complement this mug set is this pair of S’mores salt and pepper shakers. They’re seriously cute as well as functional.
If you could make your space smell like freshly baked chocolate cake, why wouldn’t you? Well, maybe if you or the person on your gift list was on a diet, that might be kinda mean. But this deliciously scented Yankee Candle delivers that homebaked aroma in abundance.
It comes in a 22-ounce clear glass jar with a glass topper. This candle will reliably burn for up to 150 hours of chocolatey goodness. Burn the Salted Caramel Yankee Candle at the same time and it will create an insanely yummy scent that’s irresistible.

The True History of Chocolate is the perfect gift for your chocolate-loving friends who also love history. This book was co-authored by Sophie D. Coe, an anthropologist and food historian, and Michael D. Coe, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Yale University. This is the third edition of the book, which features new photographs, chapters, and revisions to reflect the latest food scholarship.
The book tracks the development of cacao and chocolate products from their origin in Mexico and Central America, all the way through to the rise of global chocolate companies in the modern day. This is a fascinating look at how chocolate has changed over the years, and how our hunger for the sweet stuff has changed history.
Another book in the same vein that would make a nice companion gift is Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History.

If you’re looking for a bittersweet chocolate color, we’d recommend You Don’t Know Jacques, and if you’re looking for a color more like milk chocolate, try Squeaker of the House.

There's no question, there are lots of chocoholics out there. For some, it's an obsession and for others, an addiction. But there's some science behind out chocolate cravings.
Turns out the chemical compounds in chocolate mixed with the unique aromas those compounds create a unique chemical signature that our brains love, at least according to this article from the BBC.
Considering humans have been loving chocolate for thousands of years, there must be something that keeps us consuming it by the ton! Americans alone consume 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate every year, per these stats from The Candy Store. That's 11 pounds for every man, woman, and child - holy cow.
You might be feeling guilty about your personal chocolate consumption if you're just thinking of chocolate as candy. Never fear! There's tons of evidence that eating chocolate is actually good for you. What a bonus, right?
Did you know that eating chocolate might actually prevent heart disease? According to the experts at the America Cancer Society, chocolate is actually good for you because it is filled with flavanols, which lower blood pressure and make your heart, veins, and arteries work better. Now that's good news.
And according to the New Scientist, the smell of chocolate has a calming effect on the brain. No wonder a piece or two after dinner makes you so relaxed.
When it comes to chocolate, it's not just about the candy. There are so many fun chocolate-related gifts for chocolate lovers on your list, from chocolate-themed apparel to movies, books, jewelry, and even wall art.
We've tried to include a wide variety of ideas, as well as a few that are out of the box, so to speak. So have fun shopping and perhaps treat yourself to a delicious treat or two along the way.
