Homemade chocolates are one of the most personal gifts you can give — and one of the most-asked-about items at our Sankar Nagar counter. We make three kinds, sold by the kilo. Here's how they compare.
Plain
Smooth, simple and the most budget-friendly per kilo. Plain chocolates are perfect for return gifts at birthday parties, where you need a lot of small portions that every child will enjoy.
Filled
A chocolate shell with a centre — a little surprise in every bite. Filled chocolates feel more special, which makes them a good choice for weddings, engagement favours and festival gifting.
Almond
The premium pick, with crunchy almonds in every piece. Almond chocolates make an impressive gift for elders, clients and anyone who prefers texture to sweetness.
Keeping chocolate happy in Salem's weather
Salem summers are warm, and chocolate doesn't like heat. A few simple rules keep it looking and tasting its best:
- Carry it home in a shaded bag; don't leave it in a parked car or two-wheeler box
- Store in an airtight box in a cool spot; refrigerate only on very hot days
- If refrigerated, let it sit (still boxed) for 10 minutes before opening to avoid moisture spots
- Keep it away from strong-smelling foods — chocolate absorbs odours
Pair it with
A pack of almond cookies or a slice of dry fruit cake turns a box of chocolates into a complete gift. See more ideas in our festival gifting guide.
