Add liqueurs, rum, Champagne etc. Roll them in coconut or chopped pistachios.

In the times today:
370g of choc+ 500ml dbl cream +4 earl grey tea bags
simmer cream + tbags,then leave to infuse for 15mins,
pass through fine sieve into a pan, stir in broken choc then heat,
sieve into a 2cm deep tray(greasproof) put in fridge then scoop out or cut into sections.

dust with coco or icing sugar.

How much craeam should i replace with baileys(fis one to say all of it stands in the corner!)

hmmm, cheap and impressive present idea!

had a browse online, delia has recipes for almond, ginger, rum, whisky etc.

on another site it says to dip the chocs in liquid tempered chocolate if you want them to keep for more than a couple of days.

this site has more info. sounds tricky for a first go.
