Been away from your near and dear ones for a long time? Wish to send them a gift on a special occasion? Well, thanks to the online services these days, sending gifts are not a problem anymore. You are just one click away from sending your love through gifts.

Armed with the technical support, we more often than not face a serious dilemma- what will make the perfect gift! Well, if you are confused and do not know what gift to go for, here’s a saviour for you- chocolates. These delicious treats come in all shapes and sizes (well, almost). There is no dearth of varieties when it comes to chocolates; so you have a lot of options to choose from when sending chocolates by post.

Before, taking your pick, it is best to be well informed about the specialities of each kind of chocolate. So, here’s a choco-laden list of the major types of chocolates and their basic characteristics:

•  Milk Chocolates: These are the ones that we generally come across and start our chocolate adventure with, in our childhood. The milk content in these chocolates are greater than twelve per cent and the content of cocoa solids range between ten per cent to twenty per cent. These do not make the best baking partners and hence are generally not included in any baking recipe. However milk chocolates are used sometimes for baking cookies. Cadbury Dairy Milk, Hershey’s milk chocolate, Irish milk chocolate are some of the most reputed brands.

•  White Chocolates: This one does not contain much cocoa solids. In fact it has been stripped off of all non-fat components there are in a cacao bean(Sorry if you are on a diet, it is best to stay away from these delicious devils), which renders it its characteristic colour. Vanilla is the most common flavouring of these chocolates, though sometimes it may be accompanied with others. When it comes to white chocolates, it is best to go for brands like Godiva, Divine, Prestige of Belgium white chocolate, etc.

•  Dark Chocolate: If you are on a diet, or are suffering from diabetes but still love to gorge on chocolates, well then you have found your choco-mate. The content of the cocoa solids is very high in these where as milk solids are close to non-existent. Dark chocolates come in varying degrees of sweetness depending upon cocoa content in them. The higher the cocoa content will be, the lesser will be its sweetness. If you are looking for the perfect baking dark chocolate then the ideal one is a semi-sweet dark chocolate. If the one you intend to send the gift to loves dark chocolate then go for the bitter-sweet ones and send the over with the help of chocolates online delivery services. Some of the famous brands for dark chocolate are Lindt, Green and Black’s, Pierre Marcolini, etc.

A tip in time: Never ever gift unsweetened chocolates, since they are not meant for eating, but entirely for cooking and baking. However if you have budding chef at home, you can always send these for them to experiment with!
