Chocolates are one of life’s most enjoyable guilty pleasures. For some of us, chocolate is a way of life, whether it be our regular supermarket favourites such as M&M’s and Mars Bars or the finer choices of Lindt and Forrero Rocher.

Almost all online florists will provide chocolates as an extra for your order, and being such a universally enjoyed treat there’s no surprise why. Make sure you add some chocolate to your order for a moment of indulgence between you and the recipient.

    • 1.1 Are there any occasions with the purpose of giving chocolate?

    Yes! There are a few occasions where chocolate is the obvious choice of gift, and others where it is accepted but not traditional. These include:

    • Valentine’s Day Chocolates: A chocolate heart is basically hitting two birds with one stone – let your recipient know you love and care for them, and let them enjoy the chocolate goodness within after they’re done admiring the gift. Chocolates and roses are the most popular gifts for Valentine’s Day.
    • Easter Chocolates: What’s Easter without chocolate? We Australians love a sneaky Cadbury Creme Egg when they hit supermarkets in March & April, reminding us that Easter (and more chocolate) is just around the corner.
    • Christmas Chocolates: Advent calendars are given to children to build up the hype of Christmas for them – and they can treat themselves to a chocolate every day of the calendar as well. Since presents are so widely purchased and given for Christmas, and chocolate is a universally loved treat, the two and two match well.
    • Mother’s Day Chocolates: A mother will let down any diet plans and inhibitions to indulge in some delectable chocolates on their special day. If chocolate is a regular gift for her but she loves it, mix it up with some unique and bizarre flavour mixes which chocolate delicatessens specialise in.

    1.2 What’s the difference between wholesale and gourmet chocolates?

    Retail and wholesale chocolate refer to mass-produced chocolate for the masses, brands which everyone is familiar with, such as Cadbury & Nestlé. Gourmet chocolate is traditionally handmade in smaller batches using higher quality ingredients. The most accessible handmade chocolate can be bought at David Jones stores which often have a chocolates and sweets section where you can purchase chocolate by the gram.

    1.3 Is it true chocolate is an aphrodisiac?

    The history of chocolate being used to increase sex drive and sexual performance dates back the South American Aztec and Mayan civilisations who were the first to cultivate chocolate from the cocoa plant.

    Scientists today have found that consuming chocolate has positive mood enhancement properties on the brain. While the effects are slight and not conclusively linked to being an aphrodisiac, there is some evidence to suggest it. Read more about the aphrodisiac effect of chocolate at Docstoc.com.

    1.4 What are the different types of chocolate I can buy?

    Chocolate is chocolate to some, but some have preferences and favourites. Chocolate in it’s most basic form is cocoa, fat and sugar, but variations in ingredients can create an entirely different block of chocolate.

    • Milk Chocolate: The most popular type of chocolate, it has a creamy texture and sweet taste that we’ve all grown to love. Milk or milk powder is added along with the base ingredients. Milk chocolate contains at least 25% cocoa compounds.
    • Dark Chocolate: For the real chocolate connoisseur, dark chocolate uses base chocolate ingredients with simply a higher ratio of cocoa. Dark chocolate contains at least 35% cocoa compounds, and can go up to 80% in consistency.
    • White Chocolate: Interestingly enough contains no cocoa compounds – simply sugar fat and surprisingly, nutmeg. A sweet unique taste which lacks the psychological benefits of cocoa.
