If you are taking for people whose taste you don't know,the boxes with assortment of different chocolates is safe.....specially for people who are watching their weight or are older . For kids....don't buy over 50 % cocoa. Okay sahi , thanks for the ideas. Actually I was planning to give it to families which have kids as well as adults, not to particualr folks. Barring few friends, most will go to families with people of mixed age. But I will remember that suggestion for kids. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godiva - for milk chocs and Royce- for dark chocs are a league above. Okay, Lindt does seem to be very common, will definitely look for others instead like Royce and Godiva is easily available here so will definitely get that. Thinking of buying some other popular ones which I know definitely are not in India. One of them is Brookside. I sent it last time for cousins and they loved it and bought some more on their trip back here recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariyam Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 @Cricketics What is still rare to find in India are the Irish alcoholic chocolates. For the life of me, I can't recollect the name. Maybe you should get those for the not so sanskari ones in the tics household. velu, beetle and Cricketics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, i get the whole deal. Anything which is American, or European barring lindt and common ones like Hershey, should work in India. Luckilu you can find many european ones easily here. Will get to world store here. Also, ALD store here has some nice European selection, that should help. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People love those ones. I am a bong, i don't go to India to eat chocolate...so i guess i am outta touch.
