The Fatally Yours chocolate box is available to buy on special occasions like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc., as it contains luxury decorative chocolates.
And, it’s not available throughout the year, making it a limited-edition chocolate gift.
That’s why I will share the recipe so you can make it at home.
Generally, if you buy it online, it comes in a vegan chocolate gift box. But, if you make it at home, you can customize it.
However, I used normal ingredients as I’m not a vegan. So It was just like regular chocolate.
But I will give you some ingredient substitutes which will make it vegan.
So, you can have exact homemade Fatally Yours Chocolate, which you can also gift someone.
Why Fatally Yours Chocolate Recipe Stands Out
Most traditional chocolates come in simple forms like a chocolate bar, chocolate truffles, or chopped chips.
But, this Fatally Yours Chocolate is made on a special occasion.
Therefore, It needs to be crafted with a beautiful design depending on the occasion, using high-quality cocoa powder, premium chocolate, etc., which makes it a perfect gift.
Fatally Yours Chocolates’ appearance, taste, and the way it is represented and given make them unique from other chocolates.
Basically, these chocolate boxes involve craftsmanship.
So even if you make it at home, you’ll have to craft it and decorate it.
You can even involve your kids in making it.
Fatally Yours Chocolate Ingredients
Here are all the ingredients that you will need to make a Fatally Yours Chocolate Recipe at home.
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher): This is the backbone of the homemade fatally chocolate recipe. As it contains a high cocoa amount. You can use high-quality chocolate from a reputed brand like Lindt.
- 100g milk chocolate (for a sweeter touch): You will need it to add creamy, mellow sweetness. Plus, it will make your dark chocolate intensity soft and give a rich, complex flavor.
- One cup of heavy cream: Because it is high in fat, heavy cream lets the chocolate blend seamlessly, so it is essential for a smooth ganache.
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter: You will need peanut butter for richness and a glossy finish. You can even use unsalted butter.
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting): It will be used for dusting.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract: It’s a secret ingredient that enhances the chocolate taste.
- A pinch of sea salt (optional for garnish)
- Half teaspoon Sugar: You can adjust sugar based on your taste, as white chocolate is already a little sweet.
Optional Ingredients for decoration:
Although they’re optional, if you’re making chocolate to give to someone or for a special occasion, then I recommend you use them.
- Edible gold leaf: For a luxurious look, you can buy a kind of Dubai-style strawberry chocolate.
- Vegan white chocolate melted (for contrasting designs)
- Dry fruits, nuts, or edible flowers (I really like crushed pistachios, so you can use it, or try almond, coconut, etc, but make sure they’re in powder form)
- Natural food coloring for thematic designs

Take a saucepan and heat heavy cream over medium heat.

- Heavy Cream: You can replace it with coconut milk cream. Although it has a slightly different taste, it is not too different.
- Milk Chocolate: You can use white chocolate for a sweet and creamy taste, plus you can still have a vegan version of this chocolate. And by the way, not just white but vegan milk and dark chocolate are also available, so you can use them too.
- Butter: You can use coconut oil for a vegan alternative.
- Cocoa Powder: You can use carob powder as a caffeine-free option.
