I'm a fan of Lindt chocolates. The milk chocolate is really good. You can get boxes/bags of assorted chocolates, which would be a good sampler for her.

Also consider making a real hot cocoa from scratch.
I'm in the US; I agree with other posters that the Lindt isn't very good here.

These products are designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes.

Why start off with something all fancy pants?
Not Snickers or York, certainly. I want her to taste just chocolate.

I was thinking it's more of an acquired taste than milk. But, OTOH, carob is probably closer to dark chocolate. So now I'm not sure.

How exciting, to taste chocolate 'for the first time' as an adult. Does she have any memory of what it might be like?
I don't even know if there is a cholocatier in the area. She works with chocolate frequently, so she knows the smell, and that's most of the taste.
