Gourmet Chocolate Love

If you’re thinking of giving someone a box of chocolates, Norman Love Confections is the way to go. Our gourmet artisan chocolates are handcrafted with the finest ingredients, they are as beautiful as they are delicious, and even our gift boxes have a very special “wow” factor!

Outside of the box, Norman Love Confections offers a variety of Gift Baskets, and our Chocolate Specialties, such as our famous Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Bark and fresh Chocolate-Covered Candied Nuts and Fruits, stand alone as affordable gifts and delightful stocking stuffers.

Want to take it a step further… Here are some creative ideas to incorporate chocolate into your holiday celebration in surprising new ways:

• Present Toppers – Heighten the natural anticipation that comes with receiving a wrapped gift by also putting a beautifully packaged treat on top with the ribbon. Gift Boxes and Chocolate Specialties, as well as Gift Certificates, make excellent present toppers. Christmas morning can’t come soon enough!
• Membership Privileges – Give someone a gift that keeps giving all year long. Sign them up for one of our four Chocolate Clubs. Members enjoy 4 or 12 shipments of signature line or Norman Love Confections BLACK™ boxes of chocolate throughout the year!
• Hidden Gems – You may have heard of the “12 Gems of Christmas” giveaway, in which Norman Love Confections and Mark Loren designs are hiding 12 pieces of jewelry and 12 gift cards in Norman Love Confections gift boxes Dec. 1-25. Surprise someone you love by placing a small precious gift inside on of our gift boxes or baskets filled with chocolate gourmet goodies. A bonus… they’ll never guess there is jewelry inside!
• New Year, New Tradition – Brighten someone’s New Year’s Eve celebration with a gift of champagne and chocolate. White chocolate confections, such as our Candy Cane and Eggnog flavors, make an excellent pairing with champagne. Best of all, you may start a new tradition of toasting with chocolate! Click here for additional wine and chocolate pairings to consider for your holiday preparations.
• Travel Friendly Gifts – This may not be all that surprising, but we thought we’d include it as a friendly reminder. If you or your gift recipient is traveling this holiday season, Gift Certificates and Norman Love Confections BLACK™ sipping chocolate make very travel friendly gifts. These gifts won’t melt on the journey and aren’t as likely to be confiscated at airport security if you take the appropriate precautions. Gift Certificates are also affordable to ship so you can give more!

There is nothing subtle about the way our society celebrates the holidays. We have special decorations, special music and, yes, special food that we reserve for this special time of year. The flavors that make up your personal holiday repertoire may vary slightly from your friends and neighbors, but everyone recognizes certain “holiday flavors.”

Each year, Norman Love Confections puts together a special collection of flavors that are only available during the holiday season. These flavors, along with the 36 signature flavors we offer year-round, come in Holiday Gift Boxes ranging in size from 5 pieces to 50 pieces! This year, the Norman Love Holiday Collection, which was launched on Nov. 14, includes the following eight flavors:

• Candy Cane – Sweet white chocolate and peppermint are combined in a beautiful red and white swirled shell for a true holiday favorite.
• Champagne – Celebrate the New Year with this unique milk chocolate champagne filling, wrapped in a dark chocolate shell.
• Rum Raisin – Delicious rum-soaked raisins combined with a milk chocolate ganache will warm your heart for the holidays.
• Eggnog - Finely grated nutmeg is infused in rich cream and then folded with Swiss white chocolate and sweet butter to recreate this wonderful holiday refreshment.
• Gingerbread – Freshly baked gingerbread cookies are blended with creamy milk chocolate and a delicious mix of spices.
• Hot Toddy – This rich citrus-flavored dark chocolate with a surprising hint of heat will certainly put you in the holiday spirit.
• S’mores – Delicate marshmallows are melted with creamy milk chocolate and blended with lightly toasted graham crackers to create this true childhood classic.
• White Christmas – A traditional blend of hazelnut praline and creamy cinnamon ganache are layered inside a beautiful milk chocolate shell.

Each year, the collection is slightly different. We keep many of your favorites year after year and add new flavors to keep the collection fresh and exciting. Like all of our products, these beautiful, decadent confections are handcrafted with the freshest, finest ingredients available, including high-quality European chocolate.

Additionally, we create specialty chocolates, such as our famous gourmet Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Bark , just for the holidays. This delicious treat makes a wonderful stocking stuffer and beautiful present topper. It is also included in many of our Holiday Gift Baskets.

This year, for the first time, we are excited to announce we’ve added a special Hanukkah Collection with the following flavors available in special 4- and 16-piece silver boxes, topped with blue bows:

• Baked Spiced Apple –We use tart granny smith apples caramelized with cinnamon, vanilla and sugar, and pureed with sweet cream butter for this delectable filling, enrobed in a Swiss white chocolate shell.
• Cherry Cheese Blintz – Enjoy a creamy smooth white chocolate and cheese ganache, fresh vanilla and cherry jam layered within a white chocolate shell.
• Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroon – This rich dark chocolate confection contains buttery coconut cream and sweet toasted coconut flakes.
• Cinnamon Rugelach – Experience these beloved cinnamon swirled cookies in a new way, blended with a rich white chocolate ganache and covered in a milk chocolate shell.
