Chocolates :). Just started my India shopping. I wanted to buy something different. The last time I went to India, I took Aplets and Cotlets, a pacific northwest speciality. Unfortunately, it didnt take off well with my folks. They are not yet over with chocolates. I was super excited to find Merci in the local walgreens. My first encounter with Merci was almost 12 years ago when my neighbor had returned from Germany.. all I remember was I ate all of them in a couple of days and ended up with a cavity within a week or two..lol. Hey.. they are very yummy...that I can promise :). Another set of chocolates that I intend to take are Turin liquer flavored chocolates(Italian). I would love to take liquer chocolates but my folks are not the target audience for the same :). Ofcourse, they are not yet over with Ferrero Rocher. For some reason, I have smitten by Ferrero rocher oflate.. man its just damn good. I have the same feeling for Lindt truffles(Swiss).
Few years ago, when I looked around for sugar free there wasnt a big selection. Now, you find sugar free chocolates( sweetened with sucrose) pretty much in every brand and at reasonable prices.
If you intend to gift a box of chocolates to an american, you should try Whitman's sampler. Its a brand that is intertwined with the lives of multiple generations of americans...you will hit the soft spot.
Last but not the least, Seattle's brand of chocolates(Dilettante and Seattle chocolates) are great gifts to outsiders.
If you have any new suggestions, I would love to hear from you :).
