Candy canes, peppermints, candied nuts, chocolate coins, endless varieties of Christmas cookies—the sheer volume of sweet offerings this time of year is enough to keep you in a sugary haze all month long.

If you’re going to indulge this holiday season, you might as well opt for the good stuff. That’s why this year we’re stuffing our stockings with decadent, wintry chocolates. You’ve got to try these seasonal sweets before they’re gone!

Theo Cranberry Orange Chocolate Bar

Didn’t get enough of the cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving? Sneak a piece of Theo’s cranberry and orange bar—the seasonal fruits bring tons of bright flavor to a dark chocolate base.

Salazon Dark Chocolate With Gingerbread

This fair-trade dark chocolate bar combines chai tea with all the spicy warmth of fresh gingerbread. If you’re guilty of snapping the roof off the gingerbread house every year, this one’s for you.

Taza Spiked Eggnog
