Choosing Mothers Day Chocolate Confections

By Angel Dudley


Every mom deserves to receive a treat that shows just how special she is. Items such as attractive floral arrangements, soft and fluffy bath robes, new clothes and jewelry that sparkles are great, but there is another time tested option that is sure to wet her taste buds. Presenting her with Mothers Day chocolate confections could be a truly sweet idea.

This confectionery wonder has been around for centuries and is among the most sought after pleasures for people all over the world. Though each brand has their own recipe, this treat comes in four basic types. There is milk, dark, white and gourmet, each one having an individual taste and unique characteristics that separate them.

One reason this is such a popular choice is because it has properties that literally make a person feel good. Several ingredients, including tryptophan, phenylethylamine and anandamide, which are found in the various cocoa genres, have a direct effect on the neurotransmitters in the human brain and elicit feelings of pleasure. It only takes a small amount to begin experiencing the comfort and happiness in each bite.

As delicious as these smooth and creamy treats may taste, many formulas also have health benefits. Studies have shown that most blends contain minerals, antioxidants and flavonoids that are good for the blood and for the heart. Keep in mind that while a little bit of this confection each week may be quite beneficial, consuming too much should be avoided for obvious reasons like weight gain and sugar overload.

One should take into consideration the personality of the individual in order to find the perfect gift. This option is among the most versatile available with a vast variety in available presentations and flavors. Using creativity and imagination, confectioners are able to continually generate configurations that are both new and innovative, allowing them to please even more people.

Many people prefer to stick with the traditional favorite of snack items like peanuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, macadamias, raisins and pretzels all covered in a layer of creamy chocolate. Others may prefer a softer approach such as filling the confections with goodness in the form of liqueurs, toffees, cherries, coconut, caramel or espresso. The mixture of contrasting flavors creates an amazing symphony in the mouth.

In recent years a new presentation option has become so popular, in no small part due to the hundreds of ways it may be displayed, that is has taken the world by storm. While dipping fruit in melted cocoa is not new, cutting the shapes to represent flowers and arranging them in a bouquet is. The delicious combination makes a stunning appearance that never fails to draw admiration not only from the one receiving the gift, but also from all those who see it.

Many of these Mothers Day chocolate gifts can be personalized to provide that added touch. Having the presentation packaged in a beautiful vase, a quaint basket or in a keepsake tin allows the giver to find something that speaks to the receiver's tastes and personality. The application of feminine motifs and attractive boxes make this option perfect for an occasion that honors such wonderful women.
