I’m excited to tell you about the new line of chocolates from Godiva called Masterpieces that I took to Bald Head Island to share with my family. This range has the most delicious trio of flavors and they made great favors on our dinner table.
There are three flavors that come individually wrapped in the bag. The Milk Chocolate Lion of Belgium is filled with creamy caramel – perfect for you caramel lovers. The Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oyster has a nutty hazelnut praline filling. And finally, the Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart is my favorite – tried and true dark chocolate ganache!
My grandmother (my mom’s mom) hosted Christmas for many years. Every season she had little favors at the table – a holiday popper, little candies, paper crowns, ornaments, and other trinkets that we cousins loved. Her surprise favors always turned a meal into a party. We loved the anticipation of peeking to see what was at our place setting followed by the excitement of finally getting to open it. My mom has continued the tradition with favors at many of her holiday tables, particularly for the grandchildren.
MY OTHER RECIPES
A few weeks ago we got to spend time at our new family vacation home on Bald Head Island. Since it was our first visit since my parents bought the house, I decided that I would be in charge of favors for dinner the first night we were there to make it extra special.
This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the Godiva Masterpieces! First I found some seashells to put at each place setting. I set the table and dressed up the corner of each spot.
I chose the Godiva Masterpieces Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oysters because of the beach theme (of course!) : ) They paired well with the shells and these tiny petite poppers I found online that were filled with riddles and jokes.
I also prepared some conversation starters to keep us talking long after the meal was over.
That evening we lit candles, put meatloaf and sweet potato fries in the oven, and poured some wine.
Everyone loved the chocolates! I told them all after my blog post prep was done we could dip into the extra bags – and enjoy them we did!
These individually wrapped treats are perfect for a little everyday indulgence. I often have a piece of chocolate after lunch or dinner, and I love that these have portion control within the wrapper! : )
Once exclusive to Godiva boutiques, the Godiva Masterpieces are now available wherever you shop every day: Target, Kroger, Publix, CVS, and Walmart for $3.99 for a bag.
What are your favorite dinner party favors? Which Godiva Masterpiece chocolate speaks to you?

Those chocolates look delicious!
These look delish and your table is beautiful. I saw these at Target and thought about trying them. I will pick some up next time I am there.
Dark chocolate ganache heart is calling my name! These chocolates look wonderful and your trip to Bald Head looks amazing.
I have never had these but would LOVE to try them!
My favorite dinner party favor is something cute like a small mason jar with a candle inside! The hazelnut oyster flavor of these new Godiva chocolates sounds incredible!
My Grandmother would bring chocolate turkeys to Thanksgiving, and then hide one or two before/during the meal. There was always a game of hide and seek when you realized your turkey was missing!
Aw that’s cute! My grandmother used to set up treasure hunts in her garden for us grandkids and it was the best ever!
I don’t go places with dinner party favors so not too familiar. Chocolate?!? I like dark chocolate
The dark chocolate ganache hearts belongs with me:)
I love white chocolate!
These look delicious!
They all sound good! I love chocolate and hazelnut together, so I’d probably try that one first.
Caramel….all the way! Love the idea of the favours too.
These Godiva chocolates would be the perfect pairing for Christmas dinner!
So cute! I recently made golden snitches out of gold foil wrapped chocolate for a Harry Potter dinner and that was a pretty awesome favor….And dark chocolate always!
Mm…. hazelnut & chocolate! What a fun sweepstakes offer – thank you!
I love those tiny Christmas crackers!
Absolutely love Godiva chocolates. I would have to say either the Carmel or the dark chocolate would be my favorite in this box. Dinner party favors. I have actually never had any bit it seems like I am missing out and may need to start this tradition with my family.
Love chocolate and caramel together! And especially dark chocolate!
Ooh I want to try the Masterpieces Milk Chocolate Caramel Lion of Belgium Bar.
Milk chocolate with caramel – my dream!

My favorite dinner party favor is something I can reuse like a Christmas ornament, mason jar, or something I can EAT! Milk Chocolate Caramel is my weakness! I didn’t know I can buy these at Target. Just added these little bites of heaven to my shopping list!
I love after dinner caramels! Dark chocolate sea salt is the best!
Hazelnut with chocolate is my favorite combination. But they all sound really good.
https://twitter.com/justxjess/status/936595926344278017
I never grew up doing dinner party favors but it sounds like a great idea! All of the chocolates sound so good but I think the dark sounds the best.
I will be buying these for sure. Yum. I’d love to win the gift card to add a little extra holiday magic this year…maybe favors at the table. 😉
I am a self proclaimed milk chocolate with caramel junkie! 🙂
My favorite dinner party favors are leftovers 🙂 and I can’t wait to try the chocolate hazelnut oysters!
I am a big fan of any type of dinner party favors! I always include a little something for my guests in the place setting and try to match the theme of the event. The dark chocolate looks divine!
A favorite dinner favor is chocolate! Any fun shape or flavor is an added bonus
I have the dark chocolate ones in my pantry- they are so rich and creamy!
Anything edible makes the perfect party favor for at the table! My favorite chocolate pairing is with a cup of hot, dark coffee.
I looooove Godiva chocolate. They are my favorite.
Love the party favor idea at dinner! Also dark chocolate!
Anything salty and sweet is what speaks to me, just as long as it’s not dark chocolate. I learned this year that dark chocolate makes me jittery! Which is a shame because i really do like it, I’m guessing it’s because I’m so caffeine-sensitive.
This is my Tweet for the sweepstakes: https://twitter.com/mommablife/status/936611978625380352
Dark chocolate ganache – but my kids LOVE The caramel lions, we got a huge pack from Costco!
Candies. They all do!
I’ve never had a dinner party favor but I could get behind some chocolate
We always have holiday poppers at Christmas! And I love to use tiny cactuses as favors throughout the year! Yum Godiva! I could never pick a favorite!
The hazelnut oyster sounds divine!
Okay I must ask, do you pronounce it “GOD-DIVA” OR “GUH-DIE-VAH?”
The chocolate ganache looks amazing!
I love anything chocolate or coffee related! The dark chocolate hearts look incredible.
love dark chocolate!
So fun! I would love to leave these at the tables at our MOPS group!
I love the dark chocolate ganache heart!
I love the hazelnut oysters! My dad used to take my sister and I to make the little 4 piece boxes all the time as kids at our local store
Godiva is the best. What a wonderful idea for a dinner party!
The dark chocolate hearts sound fabulous! I would like to try all of the chocolates in this mix.
I love milk chocolate and hazelnuts… with a generous pour of red wine.
I love this! What a perfect way to cap off a beautiful meal and family celebration.
I think mini bottles of wine are always a cute one! But chocolate is a great idea too, especially when it’s something super special. The lion caramel sounds soooo good!
Well, I’ve always loved those party popper things!
Thanks for holding the sweepstakes! I had to enter via the alternative method because I’m the grandma with no twitter XD. My fav chocolate definitely is anything with hazelnuts!
These look amazing! Chocolate always makes life a little better, and I love the individual packaging. I can’t wait to try the Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart! Thanks for a great post and an awesome giveaway.

Omg. I’m doing my blood glucose challenge today (I’m 27 weeks pregnant), and I’ve been avoiding sugar the past few days because I thought it might help. I’m ready to DIVE into these!!
Good luck!!
I love dark chocolate so that would be my choice! I love the idea of jokes/riddles to go with it as a point of conversation!
The dark chocolate sounds amazing!!
Can’t wait to try these, especially the Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oyster! Hazelnut is one of my favorite flavors 🙂
I love hazelnut in anything so those would be my favorite!
After dinner mints! They are light yet dedacant and leaves you with that lingering minty sweet taste.
Love those!!
I’m with you, dark chocolate all the way! I also love those tiny poppers! It’s probably the mini size that makes me love them, but they also seem like a fun thing at a big dinner party.
I’ve never gotten favors at a dinner party, sounds fun! 🙂 The dark chocolate ganache sounds amazing!
Honestly, I don’t go to many dinner parties, but I have been to some where they’ve given wine glass markers as a party farvor! 🙂
And, Dark Chocolate always speaks to me…….
Thanks, Kath!
xoxo
How fun! I love creamy caramel, so that one would be favorite for sure!
Ill def have to try these, I usually get the dove individually wrapped dark chocolates, but I do love me some caramel!
Dark chocolate any thing but I do love the oyster shell designs. Yum!
Godiva is by far the best chocolate out there in my opinion! My mom always puts some in our stockings! 😉
Yum! I love anything with dark chocolate – the darker the better! I love hosting dinner parties and think little gifts for guests to take home are such fun treats. I love giving truffles, candied nuts or event just a candle that was on the table!
Edible favors only!!
Dark chocolate ganache!
Love the mini poppers as well as the chocolates, what a sweet surprise for your guests it’s and it’s all about making sweet memories.
The Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart would be my favorite. I don’t have any really good ideas for dinner party favors, so I don’t usually have them.
I want to try those!
Well I just had something salty, and now I need chocolate after seeing this! I’d love some milk chocolate caramel right now, and I’ll look for these on my next Target run.
Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oysters sound amazing!! And my favorite dinner party favor was a napkin holder that could be used as a bracelet–so pretty!
Good idea!
The Lion of Belgium calls to me with the caramel inside! I like edible dinner party favors!
I love dark chocolate so mine would be teh Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart. Godiva is such a good, rich and smooth chocolate.
I’ve never done party favors but it’s a fun idea!
Milk Chocolate and Caramel would be divine. I can’t think of a better way to end a family dinner than with individual chocolates that cater to everyone’s tastes. Yum!
These look really good! Fun that there is a variety too!
Love them all. Happy Holidays !
The dark chocolate ganache heart looks amazing. My favorite party favors are chocolate covered macadamia nuts in little portioned baggies. Can you tell I am a chocolate lover?
Dark chocolate all the way!
There are these local chocolates that are my favorite favors-they are called sweet sloops-chocolate, white chocolate and toffee-soooo good!
Truffles.

Godiva is my go-to chocolate, thanks for sharing! I love pretty much all of their chocolates 🙂
I am a caramel girl all the way!
The dark chocolate sounds amazing! I’m a chocolate after a meal girl, so anytime we get chocolates as a dinner favor is good for me!
These look so tasty!!
Looks delish! I don’t know what I loved more – the chocolates or the mini poppers!
I love dinner party favors that are unique candies. The caramel chocolates sound amazing!
I tweeted!

Favors: Tupperware full of leftovers
Any chocolate is a winner to me!
I ran across these recently at Target and bought them for dessert for a small dinner group. Like you, my favorite is the chocolate ganache!
I love favors! I just stocked up on some special pencils and erasers for a holiday party we are hosting for some kids! But you can’t go wrong with chocolate! Those look delicious!
The dark chocolate heart has always been my favorite. There is a Godiva boutique at my local mall. Whenever I go, I stop and get one (Ok…. maybe 2) pieces to savor. Having them available at my local store is both exciting and a bit dangerous.
We’re always on the lookout for new chocolates to try! Thanks for sharing!
Love the dark chocolate, already a fan!
Love chocolates – these sound delicious!
Oh, I definitely want the Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oyster!
But where did you get those little mini crackers? I need them for my holiday table this year!!!!!
This is them! I was sad with how small they were at first, but they worked great!
Thank you!

I would love to try these, particularly the hazelnut flavor. Yum!
I LOVE the idea of Godiva Chocolate for a dinner party. My friend’s birthday is next week and guess what I’m buying for her? Masterpieces from Godiva! Thanks for the great idea.
Yay!
One of my moms friends does a women’s Christmas dinner and her favor last year was red nail polish and winter hand cream! I always live anything dark chocolate
Those chocolates look delicious! And I love how they make your table look extra special and festive.
I have had these Godiva chocolates before and they are delicious,,, perfect for little table surprises. Love you and this blog, I have stopped by every day for 10 years!
We always did Christmas crackers and scratch tickets at our Christmas dinner table when I was little and I loved it! I would go for the dark chocolate heart all the way!!
I LOVE Christmas Crackers!
My mom always has treat favors at holidays and sometimes they’re from Godiva too!!
Definitely the dark chocolate one… I have given away individually wrapped cookies as a favor before but it is not that common for me to have a dinner party favor… especially now that I have kids!
I love chocolates as a party gift. Who doesn’t love chocolate?
No favors typically at our table but maybe we should start!
I love a potted succulent as a favor! Lives forever and totally effortless!
The Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart speaks to me!
https://twitter.com/rusthawk/status/937338728845950976
I love everything about that table, especially the chocolates! The dark chocolate ganache would be my first choice.
I want the caramel one right now!!!
Oooh, the dark chocolate ganache speaks to me!! I love fun table favors. The last party I had we did a little tea sampler in organza bag.
What a perfect favor!
We have never done table favors, but I love this idea of a small treat!! The dark chocolate ganache would be my favorite!
Delicious. Great photos. I love the Godiva dark chocolate assortments. They make wonderful work gifts.
At Christmas we always have poppers that have colorful paper crowns inside and silly jokes. Everyone has to wear the crown! The dark chocolate ganache would definitely be my first pick, i’m a big fan of any dark chocolate
This may sound silly but leftovers of the dinner are always a plus for me! The dark chocolate ganache looks delicious.
I would love to try the caramel filled chocolate!
I loooove dark chocolate, so that would be my pick! I love the idea of dinner party favors!!
My favorite is a doggy bag of some of the food 😀 Love hazelnut!
I just love individually wrapped Chocolates during the Holiday season – it feels like there is always an excuse to indulge!
Oh man that dark chocolate ganache has my name all over it!
My favorite dinner party favor is anything mini-sized. The hazelnut flavor sounds amazing, but I’m sure I could polish off the whole bag! 🙂
I have never before done favors… looks like a great new tradition. For now, my most consistent favor is leftovers 🙂
It’s not really a favor but I always insist that I send dinner guests home with leftovers of the dinner or dessert. All of these flavors look delicious!
I’ve never been to a fancy dinner party, so anything decorative or edible would be exciting for me!

I love making cookies with each guest’s name on them to set in the middle of the plate as a place setting. A yummy way to let guests know where to sit!
That’s such a cute idea

Oh, and the dark chocolate ganache definitely speaks to me! I actually bought a bag last night and can’t wait to dig into it this weekend!
Hi Kath, (I’m not entering the contest as I am not a US citizen), but I was wondering if you could please share your recipe for the meatloaf? It looks saucy and delicious and I would love to find a recipe that an RD is willing to eat! Thank you 🙂
I need to ask my sister – it was her recipe! And this RD eats everything so long as it’s made with real food (and sometimes some fake stuff might sneak in and that’s ok every now and then!)
i like anything dark chocolate

Sounds like the dinner was a hit especially with the chocolates. I like the idea of the conversation starters as well. Thanks for sharing!
I love dark chocolate
Hi, my name is Jeff and I am a chocoholic! Godiva is awesome and their Dark Chocolate Ganache Hearts are the BOMBGIGGITY!
During the holidays we like to give family members homemade ornaments for party favors.
I shared on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FireRunner2379/status/942023426163855360.
My favorite party favors are homemade cookies or hot cocoa. But these are great when I”m short of time. thanks for sharing.
