Ah, Purim – the time of year when costumes reign supreme, laughter fills the air, and Mishloach Manot become the talk of the town. As we prepare to spread joy and sweetness to our nearest and dearest, there’s no better way to dazzle friends and family than with Mishloach Manot that are as Instagram-worthy as they are delicious. And what better combination to capture the essence of celebration and indulgence than with wine and chocolate?

Below I’m sharing four Mishloach Manot that are beautiful and take just minutes to put together. From elegant presentation to mouthwatering combinations, these Mishloach Manot promise to elevate your Purim game to new heights. 

Genève was the chocolate of choice because of its delicious taste and perfect-for-Purim presentation. The chocolate heart packaging comes in a variety of flavors including Dark Chocolate Praline with Hazelnut Cream, White Chocolate Praline with Hazelnut Cream, and White Chocolate Praline With Caramel Cookie Cream. I also chose to use Genève Batons, which are the prettiest Swiss chocolate sticks that are filled with hazelnut cream.

The wines and whiskey used below were hand-picked by Gabe Geller himself (Manager of Wine Education), so you know you’ll be sending Mishloach Manot that pair perfectly together to your family and friends.

So, grab your corkscrew and your sweet tooth. It’s time to take a look at how each Mishloach Manot was brought to life (and how you can make them at home, too).
