Quick answer
For a bold, spicy-sweet contrast, choose the NY Collection Chocolate Covered Ginger. If you prefer a mix of nutty crunch and creamy fruit, the NY Collection Apricots & Almonds is the better pick.
Flavor profile and texture
The chocolate covered ginger delivers a punchy heat from the candied ginger, balanced by the 60% dark chocolate's bitterness. Each piece is a single-note experience: intense ginger with a chewy bite.
The apricots and almonds box offers variety. Dark chocolate almonds provide a crunchy, earthy contrast, while milk chocolate apricots add a soft, sweet-tart chew. This mix works well for sharing or when you want multiple textures in one box.
Packaging and presentation
Both boxes are part of Jacques Torres' New York Collection, featuring iconic NYC imagery on keepsake tins. The Chocolate Covered Ginger box shows the Statue of Liberty; the Apricots & Almonds box displays a NY Subway train. The packaging makes either a thoughtful small gift for New York lovers.
If you want to cover all bases, the Complete New York Line Gift Set bundles all five designs—Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, NY Subway, Yellow Taxi, and Big Apple—in one package.
