If you're ever unsure of what to get someone for Christmas, you can't beat a bitta fancy chocolate.
Whether you're trying to pick up something for your child's teacher who's been a saint all year, your Kris Kindle at work who you know has a sweet tooth or just want to bulk out a Christmas stocking with some tasty additions, chocolate is the way to go. And if you're looking to replace your usual selection box with something from an Irish business, we have a gorge list here of fab chocolatey gifts from small, homegrown businesses.
Chocolate slab from Bean and Goose
These gorgeous slabs filled with specially selected ingredients, look delicious and also, lets face it - who doesn't want to use a small hammer on their food? It just makes everything more fun.

Christmas Truffle Selection from Koko Kinsale
You'd buy this for the packaging alone, but it only gets better once you take a look inside. Choose from the Christmas box with Christmas spice, hazelnut and orange zest flavours or the boozy box, with champagne, whiskey and brandy flavoured truffles.

Chocolate Gift Boxes from Lir
These beautiful boxes are plastic free and completely sustainable. Each chocolate is hand crafted and individually shaped and the boxes have a real wow factor, while still maintaining a personal, made-with-love touch.

Coloured BonBons from Temptation Patisserie
These chocolates are like literal works of art and would make a beautiful gift. The bonbons are made in small batches, hand painted and completely unique. They look too good to eat - although I'm sure I'd find a way.
