Anthon Berg 18 Chocolate Liqueurs (Dark)

Eighteen little dark chocolate bottles, each one a tiny surprise. Bite into the glossy shell and you’ll find a smooth, creamy filling built around some of the world’s most celebrated spirits. Each piece is individually wrapped and tucked into a handsome flat box, which makes it an easy pick for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, or any celebration worth toasting.

Anthon Berg says it has been making dark chocolate bottles since 1924, and the brand is proud of its shape, which it claims nobody else quite matches. Each chocolate is chosen to suit its liquid centre, so the flavours feel like a little treasure hunt. Fair warning: they’re for grown-ups only, and “just one more” has a way of happening.
