When I think of the ultimate gift for my foodie friends wine and chocolate are always at the top of my list. I know it’s two things that not only pair well together but offer the ultimate in relaxation as well. A simple gift basket filled with chocolates and wine related gifts is such a great gift idea! 
What I like about BROOKSIDE Chocolate is their rich, dark chocolate with sweetened soft centers made with exotic fruit flavors. It’s chocolate like you’ve never experienced before! It also pairs perfectly with a bottle of Clos du Bois. Year after year, their wines have been appreciated by both wine critics and wine lovers alike. 
Serve it while entertaining this holiday season or gift it to a friend who needs a little serenity. Your gift will be well appreciated while sitting by a cozy fire this winter. 
There are so many ways to enjoy BROOKSIDE Chocolate. Taking baking beyond the ordinary. Adding a twist of exotic flavor to your daily snacks. Or simply enjoy being paired with your favorite beverages. Start with their recipes and pairing suggestions. 
This holiday season when I need that quick gift idea for my loved one I know I can look right in my local retailer for great gifts like these.
You can find out more about BROOKSIDE on their website, Facebook and Twitter.
