Remember your five a day! Give in to the classic combination of luxurious chocolate and fruit flavours with our collection of fruity chocolate selection boxes and delicious fruits dipped in the highest quality chocolate. Fruity chocolate is exactly what it sounds like — chocolate combined with fruit or fruit flavors, creating a mix of sweet, tangy, and rich taste profiles. It's a popular combo because fruit naturally complements the deep, sometimes bitter flavors of chocolate. Types of fruity chocolate can include chocolate with dried fruit - common pairings are raisins, cranberries, cherries, apricots, blueberries, mango, or orange peel. It can also be found in chocolate bars, clusters, or bark-style treats. It's often paired with nuts too (like almonds or pistachios). Another popular combination is chocolate-covered fresh or candied fruit. Classic examples include chocolate-covered strawberries, cherries, orange slices, or bananas, these are more delicate and usually eaten fresh or semi-fresh however some versions are candied first to help preserve them. Fruit-infused chocolate is where the chocolate itself is flavored with fruit oils or purees — like raspberry-infused dark chocolate or orange-flavored milk chocolate, this creates a smoother texture, with the fruit flavor blended right into the chocolate. Then you have fruity ganache or fillings - think of truffles or bonbons filled with fruit-flavored creams or real fruit purées, these are often paired with liqueurs for that extra depth (like raspberry liqueur or limoncello). Dark chocolate pairs well with raspberry, cherry, orange, fig and pomegranate. Milk chocolate pairs well with strawberry, banana, apricot and mango. White chocolate tends to pair well with passion fruit, blueberry, lemon and cranberry.
