Chocolate wedding favors are one of the more traditional and popular favors chosen by brides. There is a versatility to them that allows for matching with any wedding style or theme and of course, chocolate never fails to delight
Aside from the candy coated dragees that many favor stores carry, there are a range of other chocolate options for your wedding favors. Here are a few to consider

Personalized Chocolate Bars: These usually consist of small bars of milk or plain chocolate with a personalized wrapper which many favor stores allow you to customize yourself with range pre-designed wrappers to choose from. You simply choose your design, colors and add your text the store then does the rest. These are relatively inexpensive with many stores offering good discounts for bulk orders.
Other personalized chocolate bars include slabs of chocolate with your names, wedding date or message iced on to them with a contrasting color of chocolate - usually white. These look amazing but could cost you much more than their wrapped counterparts above.
Luxury Chocolate Truffles: As favors go these are usually at the top end of the budget scale and consequently it has become common to give just two or three of these to each guest (if your budget is really tight you could assign two per couple and one to each single guest). Visit a specialist chocolate and confectionary shop to choose from a wide range of flavors or to even design your own for your wedding day.
You can present them in boxes, but many brides choose decorative silver colored trays for a more luxurious look
Standard Chocolates: These are type you would commonly find in a mid-range box of chocolates, $10 or less. Don’t go for the cheapest on the shelf as the quality is often very poor and your guests will think you miserly
A good budget saving tip is to buy boxes of chocolates rather than visit a chocolate store, however you will end up with a mix of different flavors, including the unpopular ones! Try to choose boxes that have a mix of two or three flavors or better still buy individually wrapped chocolates that say what they are on them.
Chocolate Cookies: Cookies are very popular wedding favors but rather than giving the expensive custom iced versions, bake up some chocolate, choc chip and double choc chip cookies, you can then give each guest one of each flavor.
Chocolate Cakes: Mini cakes are popular alternative to having a multi-tiered wedding cake and include individually packaged cakes or cup cakes. If you want to give them as wedding favors have them iced to coordinate with your wedding, including little sugar craft toppers like flowers or butterflies.
Chocolate Brownie Pops: A few favor stores are starting to stock these and they make for quite a novel favor. Essentially brownie based, these lollipops have a chocolate coating and often an iced message or motif on top.
