1. Antidote Chocolate

Chocolate is a classic, but USDA-certified organic Antidote dark chocolate is anything but! Delicious, yes, but also inventive and satisfying enough for the most discerning palate, with flavors like Rose Salt + Lemon, Ginger + Goldenberry and Almond + Fennel. We love the special gift-wrapped six-bar set. $42; antidotechoco.com
