The Best Chocolate Wedding Favors

Everybody loves chocolate! It is also associated with romance, which makes it the perfect wedding favor for your wedding guests. There are many delicious types of chocolate that you can choose, as well as many great ways to present your favors.

One of the most popular types of chocolate is the truffle. There is just something so decadent and festive about truffles. They are not a type of candy that most people eat very often, so it makes them perfect for a special occasion like a wedding. Truffles come in an amazing number of variations, so you can choose the flavor that is just right for you. They come in white, milk, or dark chocolate, and there are lots of options for the inside flavor. Some of the most popular combinations are dark chocolate with raspberry and milk chocolate with Champagne. If you are undecided, feel free to try many, many samples!

To tie your favors in with your reception location, give your guests a tasty treat with a local flair. There are many fine small local chocolate companies in most regions, so you can find candies that are fresh and unique. Some brides will also import a childhood favorite from the town where they were raised, which is another great way to personalize your favors.

Another option is to choose a type of candy that everyone loves. Personalized M&M candies are one very cute idea. You can have them customized with your names or another message. They are also available in every color of the rainbow, so you can or

er them to match your wedding colors.

Fruit and chocolate is always a winning combination. Your guests will love to receive a little box of fresh chocolate dipped strawberries. For a more indulgent favor, you can choose an over the top sweet treat like giant chocolate dipped marshmallows.

For fall or winter weddings, rich tasty fudge would make a terrific favor. Like truffles, fudge comes in a huge number of flavors, from basic chocolate to marble to peanut butter. Fudge also has a down-home feeling that would make it a great favor for an informal country wedding.

When you give chocolate as a wedding favor, presentation is important. The right packaging will transform two truffles into an elegant statement. Rich candies like truffles belong in fancy little gold or silver boxes. You will want to add your own decorative touches to the chocolatier's boxes to tie them in with your wedding theme. Personalized ribbon printed with your wedding date is one great option. One bride I knew tied a small piece of sheer ribbon around each box and then dressed it up with a twist of silver wire featuring a couple of crystals to tie in with her crystal bridal jewelry and table decorations. If you prefer pearl bridal jewelry, you could substitute a couple of freshwater pearls for the crystals. It was a truly elegant effect, and it was much easier to do than it looked.

If you have decided on chocolates in your wedding colors, you should choose clear packaging to show them off. A very chic look is a clear plastic cylinder with a solid lid that can be customized with your names and wedding date. Fill it will white chocolate non-pareils in pastel colors for a pretty spring wedding favor. Glassine bags can also work for flat treats like chocolate cookies. Seal the bags with a pretty sticker to make them look more special.

Chocolate makes a great wedding favor. It is readily available, and everyone loves it. Choose a special chocolate treat for your wedding that ties in with your theme to make it even better.
