An Evening Shaped Around Handmade Chocolate
Some evenings pass quickly.
Others invite us to linger.
We created The Chocolate Evening Hamper for those occasions when beautiful food becomes part of the conversation. Penfolds Max’s Shiraz, sixteen handmade brownie favourites and our Dark Drinking Chocolate come together in an experience that unfolds gently—from the first glass shared in the evening to another quiet chocolate moment the following day.
It is a generous gift for slowing down, sharing something beautiful and allowing the evening to take its own time.
As the Evening Begins
The ribbon is untied.
The tissue is folded back.
A bottle of Penfolds Max’s Shiraz is opened while everyone chooses a brownie from the Favourites Gift Box.
Some begin with the deep chocolate character of our Classic Brownie. Others reach for Espresso Walnut, Honey Caramelised Macadamia or Salted Caramel.
Each brownie is individually wrapped, making the box easy to pass around the table while everyone discovers a favourite of their own.
The generous dark-fruit character of the Shiraz sits naturally beside rich Belgian chocolate, roasted coffee, caramel and nuts. It is not intended as a formal tasting—it is an invitation to pour a glass, unwrap a brownie and let the conversation continue.
Three Parts of the Chocolate Evening
Every part of this hamper has a role to play.
Penfolds Max’s Shiraz
A premium Australian Shiraz chosen for its generous fruit character and its natural place beside rich chocolate flavours.
Luxury Brownie Favourites Gift Box
Sixteen individually wrapped handmade brownies featuring four of our most-loved flavours:
- Classic Belgian Chocolate
- Espresso Walnut
- Honey Caramelised Macadamia
- Salted Caramel
The Favourites Box brings together the flavours our customers return for again and again, creating a generous selection for sharing and discovering.
Dark Drinking Chocolate
A rich dark drinking chocolate to prepare later, extending the gift beyond the first evening.
Together, the three products create a thoughtful sequence rather than simply a collection of items.
Brownies Chosen for a Red Wine Evening
We chose our Favourites Brownie Gift Box because each flavour brings a different character to the evening.
Classic Belgian Chocolate offers the deepest and most direct chocolate experience.
Espresso Walnut brings roasted coffee notes and crunchy walnuts, making it a particularly natural companion to Shiraz.
Honey Caramelised Macadamia adds buttery macadamia crunch and gentle honey sweetness.
Salted Caramel finishes with a balance of rich chocolate, caramel and salt.
Together, the sixteen brownies create variety without losing the chocolate-led identity of the hamper. Each piece is handmade in small batches using Belgian chocolate and real butter, then wrapped individually for freshness, presentation and easy sharing.
Tomorrow Morning
Some gifts finish when the evening ends.
This one quietly continues.
The following morning, prepare a mug of our Dark Drinking Chocolate.
There is no need to recreate the evening. Simply warm the chocolate, find a comfortable place and let another small ritual begin.
Long before Dello Mano became known for brownies, drinking chocolate was part of our story. During our early New Farm Farmers Market days, our mornings began well before sunrise as we prepared large batches for customers arriving at the market. Some came with thermoses so they could take more home.
Including drinking chocolate in this hamper reconnects that history with the chocolate we make today. It gives the recipient something more than another product—it gives the evening a final chapter.
Product Information

Serve the hamper as part of a relaxed evening to share, followed by a mug of Dark Drinking Chocolate the following morning.

Handmade Chocolate Since 2006
We began making Dello Mano brownies in 2006, long before premium brownies and nationwide brownie delivery became familiar parts of Australian gifting.
Since then, we have continued refining the way our brownies are made, wrapped, packed and shared.
The Chocolate Evening Hamper brings together several parts of that history: our handmade brownie craft, our early drinking-chocolate heritage and our belief that thoughtful food can shape the moments people remember.
The wine complements the experience, but handmade chocolate remains at its heart.
