The Perfect Pairing: Butlers Chocolates & Your Favourite Books

We all know that Irish chocolate is in a league of its own. When it comes to creating the ultimate "moment of joy," a premium treat is essential. That is why Butlers Chocolates is a cornerstone of our hampers at The Book Resort. Founded in Dublin in 1932, Butlers is a family-owned icon of luxury. There is nothing quite like the ritual of opening a brand-new book while indulging in a handmade truffle crafted right here in Ireland.

Why We Choose Butlers for Our Gift Boxes

Our customers often tell us that the "escapism" of our boxes is what they love most. As Cliona, one of our regular shoppers, puts it: “Super-fast delivery and my sister loved the chocolates and books. Perfect escapism for a busy mum.”

Butlers' award-winning chocolate is a premier choice because it reflects our own commitment to quality and Irish heritage. From their signature gold-wrapped ballots to their contemporary collections, we have handpicked the best items for your Book Resort box.

Our Top Butlers Chocolate Picks

Whether you are using our Create Your Own tool or choosing a pre-curated hamper, these are the most-loved Butlers additions:

1. The Signature Chocolate Ballotin

2. Milk Chocolate Truffles

Featuring 30 blissfully smooth milk chocolate truffles captured in a luscious milk chocolate shell. This is the perfect accompaniment to a long, immersive novel on a rainy afternoon.
