15 Easter Gift Ideas for Food-Lovers

Easter baskets aren’t just for kids; they can be enjoyed just as equally by adults, too. Which is why we’ve come up with the ultimate list of treats, both sweet and savory, to fill a grown-up Easter basket. The list includes plenty of gifts for food lovers, from chocolates made by high-end chocolatiers (pastel Easter eggs, anyone?) to spicy honey and truffle-infused hot sauce, in case you’d rather keep away from candy. Read on to see your options, and feel free to mix and match.

These creamy caramels are swathed in dark chocolate and coated in a candy shell—enough said.

Mouth’s Easter box has two options. The small version offers shortbread cookies, mini chocolate bunnies, a chocolate lollipop, pâte de fruit, organic jelly beans, and daffodil goat milk caramel mix. If you want to upgrade to the large version, it also includes carrot cake marshmallows, “spring confetti popcorn,” sesame frittle, and “pineapple mojito dried fruit.” Whichever you pick, your giftee will have plenty to snack on.

Easter in a Box, $66-$119 (depending on size) at mouth.com

If you don’t want the full spread from Mouth, you can buy the carrot cake marshmallows separately. They’re handmade with carrots, cane sugar, nutmeg, and allspice in Florida—eat them on their own, or use them to add a spin to s’mores and hot chocolate.

These truffles got a unanimous five-star rating on Williams-Sonoma, and they’re beautiful, too. Knipschildt, which made our list of best chocolate gifts, designed them to look like speckled eggs in different pastel colors, using single-origin chocolate and “unique flavor infusions.” They’re all neatly packaged in a paper egg crate.

On Food52, you can buy the white truffle hot sauce individually for $40, or, get various sets of two that include mild, hot, or both (pictured). Neiman Marcus also sells the white truffle hot sauce for $35.
