Li-Lac's Tower of Chocolate

Have you been naughty or nice this year? Regardless of your answer, Li-Lac Chocolates — New York’s oldest chocolatier — is serving up some very sweet deals this holiday season. Place an online order between Black Friday and Dec. 1 and you can save 20% off Li-Lac’s signature “Chocolate Towers” and other select treats.

The towers, which range from two festively wrapped boxes of assorted chocolates up through nine boxes, range in price from $160 to $395. Apply the exclusive online discount, and you can save between $32 and $79. Note that these these limited-edition offers are sure to sell out fast.

If you’re seeking something more emblematic of the season, consider Li-Lac’s hand-crafted Jumbo Chocolate Turkey ($110), which serves as a dessert and Thanksgiving table centerpiece all in one. This impressive bird stands 10 inches tall and contains 3.5 lbs. of Li-Lac’s finest milk or dark chocolate. It comes packed in a handsome gift box, tied with a festive ribbon, and serves about 25 people.

If you are seriously into holiday baking, you’re probably already aware that boutique chocolate maker and confectioner El Rey has added 53.7% semi-sweet dark chocolate chips to its inventory just in time for Christmas.

The product is balanced so as to achieve a robust aroma of cacao with pleasant overtones of fruit. It has great character, texture and a long, lingering mouthfeel.

As a special introductory offer, 1 lb. and 3. lb. bags of the chips are being offered until Dec. 15, while quantities last. As an added bonus, orders placed before the deadline will receive a 15% discount.
