My family rules when it comes to sending care packages stuffed full of treats. Toll House bars. Walnut-studded brownies caked with chocolate frosting. Kitchen sink cookies, laden with white, milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips and laced with coconut. Or cooky bon bons, with pastel icing and a cherry or chocolate center.
For my last birthday, two of my nieces sent a quartet of enormous, moist, decadent chocolate chip cupcakes smothered in buttercream frosting, overnighted in Tupperware and surrounded by ice packs. Amazing. There’s nothing like getting luscious treats in the mail.
If you don’t happen to be a member of my family, Godiva has a plan for delivering love, or an endearing, flavorful facsimile, six times a year.
Month 1: Chocolate Ganache Layer Cake, an exuberance of Belgian milk chocolate, dark cocoa, clouds of chocolate ganache and chocolate cream frosting. They say it serves 13.
Month 2: Chocolate Chunk Brownies.
Month 3: Chocolate Cupcakes with a surprise center of Godiva chocolate ganache.
Month 4: Biscuit Gift Box. Thirty-six delicious reasons to banish those little huckster Girl Scouts.
Month 5: Chocolate Macaroons. OMG.
Month 6: More Chocolate Chunk Brownies.
In the fall, look for Godiva’s Belgian chocolate flourless cake and a dessert truffle collection that features tiramisu, cheesecake, carrot cake, lava cake, red velvet and strawberry tarte truffles. Also: chocolate-dipped madeleines.
Or if you’re the hands-on type, try the Mousse Cup Dessert Kit. Yum.
