41 Best Lindt Lindor Chocolate Flavors Ranked in 2025

If you’re anything like us, you can’t walk into a candy aisle full of foil-wrapped truffles in all your favorite Lindor chocolate flavors without being a little uncomfortable. The Swiss confectionery giant’s branding has always been a little odd — what is “made to melt you” supposed to mean?

However, we won't deny the impact of the brand's marketing strategy, as those holiday commercials are playing on loop in our heads every time we unwrap a truffle. When it comes to taste, unfortunately (or fortunately), those truffles are also irresistible.

It doesn’t matter what Lindor chocolate flavor you prefer — when a bag of them shows up in the break room at work around Valentine’s Day, you’re going to sneak a few before lunchtime. But in every multi-flavor pack, there is one Lindor truffle flavor you eat before all the rest. 

We know it’s true (why is the Caramel always the first to go?!). But opinions are many, and they’re all over the map. So, if you had to rank Lindor flavors, how would your favorite shake out? Which Lindor chocolate flavors are always left behind at the bottom of the bag, and which take home top billing as the best of the best? 

In our humble opinion, the proper Lindor flavor ranking looks something like this.

41 Best Lindor Flavors Ranked

41. White Chocolate

We’re well aware that this is going to be a controversial place to start. No matter how we feel about it, White Chocolate is a beloved fixture in almost every bag of Lindor truffles you’ll ever buy. It’s a classic Lindt Lindor truffle flavor that has an enthusiastic, if not universal, following. But we aren't the biggest fans of it, so last place it is. 

White chocolate isn’t real chocolate, according to the American Chemical Society, and we’d have to agree. It’s made from a different part of the cacao plant and lacks everything we love about chocolate: its depth of flavor, its nuance, its alluring hint of bitterness. That’s on full display in this Lindor truffle flavor, which has absolutely nothing in it to cut the sweetness of its white chocolate shell and filling.

It’s too sweet and entirely lacking in depth or contrast. At least most of the other white Lindt Lindor chocolate flavors offer other tastes to balance things out. 

40. White Peppermint 

Okay, this is a matter of pure personal bias, and we’ll admit it. Mint is divisive, and we’re not of the fan persuasion. Nevertheless, we’ll do our best to be at least somewhat objective when ranking Lindt Lindor chocolate flavors with mint components. This one, though? We don’t plan on showing a whole lot of mercy. 

Given what we’ve already established about white chocolate Lindt Lindor truffle flavors, it’s no surprise that adding peppermint wouldn’t raise our opinion of this flavor much. We’ll grudgingly admit that, at very least, the coolness of mint offsets the noxious sweetness of white chocolate a little. But that’s all we’re willing to give this one. Sorry, peppermint fans. 

39. Birthday Cake 

Another white chocolate-shelled miss among Lindor flavors, Birthday Cake isn’t doing much. “Birthday crunch” pieces (who knows what that means) are added to this one in an attempt to give it a bit more pep, but does it really work?

Ultimately, this Lindor chocolate flavor is just too sweet. You might be able to argue that it’s ever so slightly less one-note than White Chocolate, but the margin is slim. We would personally give this Lindor chocolate flavor a pass, but it's worth trying for yourself, perhaps aptly on your birthday.

38. Pistachio 

Lindor’s Pistachio truffle predates the Dubai chocolate trend by a country mile. Still, we're willing to bet it’s probably enjoyed a boost in popularity since the pistachio-based chocolate bar started trending. But how does it actually stack up against other Lindor chocolate flavors? 

“Sort of okay” is the general consensus. It definitely has the nutty flavor you’d hope for, but it doesn't deliver too well on the nuance or contrast. You’ll miss the crunch of an actual pistachio here, and the flavor gets the nutty part right, but omits the savoriness. If you picked up this Lindor chocolate flavor hoping for a nuanced, sweet-and-savory taste, you’ll probably walk away disappointed. 

37. Tiramisu 

Love coffee? Then this ultra-rich Lindor chocolate flavor will likely satisfy. It does a pretty good job of recreating the flavors of the classic Italian dessert in truffle form, so it feels a bit more substantial and satisfying than, say, a plain chocolate truffle.

That said, it comes on a little strong with the coffee. If you’re not particularly fond of the taste of espresso, you may want to skip this Lindt chocolate flavor next time you spot it in the chocolate aisle. 

36. Oatmilk

We salute Lindor for trying to make its chocolate accessible to people who can’t or don't want to eat dairy. Two Lindor chocolate flavors, one milk and one dark, use oatmilk instead of dairy in the cream filling, giving lactose-intolerant chocolate lovers a chance to get in on the action. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t do it as well as one would hope. 

The best dairy substitutes don’t make their presence known. Whether you’re using almond milk in your coffee or whipping a soy-based heavy cream, you don’t want to be able to taste the fact that you’ve made a substitution. And unfortunately, in the case of this Lindor chocolate flavor, it’s painfully obvious that this isn’t the original Milk Chocolate it wants to imitate.

How so? Well, you can taste the oats, and we'd bet you didn’t buy these because you wanted to indulge in an oat-flavored product. If you must have a dairy-free Lindor chocolate flavor, Dark Oatmilk fares a bit better. See below. 

35. Coconut 

Opinions on this Lindor chocolate flavor are all over the place, and we’d bet good money that’s Almond Joy’s fault. Everyone who ever went trick-or-treating as a kid has likely had the experience of watching some well-meaning neighbor drop an Almond Joy or Mounds bar into their bag, and we all felt some type of way about that.

Were you ecstatic, or were you scheming to pawn it off on your unsuspecting little sibling in exchange for a box of Milk Duds? How you answer that question probably determines what you’ll think of Lindor Coconut. 

In short, coconut and chocolate result in a flavor combination we’re taught to side-eye from a weirdly early age. Some of us rebel, of course. But many of us grew up with the secondhand knowledge that the coconut truffle was the worst chocolate in the box. While this is by no means the worst Lindor chocolate flavor, it tastes a bit flat and doesn’t do enough to overcome that unfortunate reputation. 

34. Milk With White 

We complained about White Chocolate feeling like a one-note flavor, so you’d think we'd approve of this change: swirling it with milk chocolate seems like it should help. Unfortunately, Milk Chocolate is also one of the sweetest Lindor chocolate flavors. This means it doesn’t add a whole lot to the flavor profile of the White Chocolate, and everything sort of just blends. It’s not a standout. 

If Lindor wanted to take this truffle to the next level, using dark instead of milk chocolate would have done wonders. Unfortunately, though, that’s not what the company chose to do. So we’re stuck with this product: not exactly offensive, but so uninspired that it’s going to get left at the bottom of the bag all the same. 

33. Snickerdoodle 

Many white chocolate-based Lindor products try to liven things up by adding something crunchy. One of those Lindor chocolate flavors is Snickerdoodle, which uses crunchy “snickerdoodle pieces” to imitate (or at least attempt to) the flavor of the classic cookie. Unfortunately, though, you get some spice, but not really anything reminiscent of a real snickerdoodle here. 

While the snickerdoodle-esque spice blend definitely enhances the white chocolate base by adding a layer of texture, it isn’t really a convincing imitation of a cookie. To that end, a chewy brown sugar-cinnamon filling would have mimicked the sweet and spicy dough much more effectively.

But as a flavor, if you divorce it from the source material, it’s not bad. Treat this Lindor chocolate flavor as its own thing, and you’ll probably like it much more. 

32. Stracciatella 

This is another white chocolate-based flavor with dubious crunchy bits. Stracciatella is one of the most beloved flavors of Italian gelato, and one of the simplest, too: it’s just vanilla with shaved dark chocolate.

This probably would have been a better Lindor chocolate flavor if it had been paired with, say, a dark chocolate shell and a vanilla cream flecked with chocolate shavings. Instead, it’s all white chocolate with chocolate cookie pieces in the shell.

While it’s pretty tasty as far as white Lindor Chocolate flavors go, Stracciatella lacks the elegant simplicity of the original. It’s still just a little too sugar-forward for our tastes, lacking in the nuance that makes the gelato flavor so good. 

31. Fudge Swirl 

Here’s another milk-and-white-chocolate blend, and it’s only a bit more successful than the last. Why? Because this Lindor chocolate flavor has a more even milk-to-white ratio, so you don’t get that overwhelming white chocolate taste when you bite into it. Even so, that much-needed fix doesn’t save this Lindor chocolate flavor from the fact that it doesn’t have the kind of contrast you’d expect in a swirled product. 

30. Cinnamon Swirl 

Fans claim that this Lindor chocolate flavor faithfully recreates the taste of a cinnamon roll in truffle form. Do we necessarily believe that? Well, given our abundantly clear stance on white chocolate, that’s a pretty certain “no.” But it’s also one of the more pleasant uses of white chocolate in any Lindor chocolate flavor, so we’ll let this one live to melt another day. 

29. Dark Oatmilk 

Following on from what we mentioned earlier, the prominent oat flavor doesn’t feel as jarring when the chocolate isn’t supposed to taste like dairy milk. Since that isn’t the case with dark chocolate, this Lindor chocolate flavor is a much better vegan or dairy-free alternative than the Oatmilk flavor. It might still not be your first choice, but if you can’t eat just any Lindor chocolate flavor, this one is much more enjoyable. 

28. Carrot Cake 

This is a somewhat unusual Lindor chocolate flavor. Where are the carrots? There seems to be nothing orange at all about this truffle, which isn’t exactly what you’d expect from something called Carrot Cake.

Instead, Lindor focuses on the spice and cream cheese frosting aspects of the dessert. While it’s a pretty tasty combination, you might find yourself wondering if they couldn’t have done something a little closer to the source material. What, exactly? We’re not sure. But as-is, this Lindor chocolate flavor is a bit of a head-scratcher. 

27. Sea Salt 

Chocolate can almost always use a pinch of salt. It elevates the flavor that’s already there and adds a layer of nuance with that sweet-savory balance. So naturally, we’re all for the idea of adding salt to some of the most classic Lindor chocolate flavors. And if it had been the Dark Chocolate truffle that Lindt decided to add salt to, it would probably have cracked the top five. 

Unfortunately, the base here is Milk Chocolate, which, as we've already pointed out, tends to suffer from an overabundance of sweetness. The salt has to work harder in this Lindor chocolate flavor and can’t do as much when you’re starting with something so sugary. 

26. Matcha 

Matcha is quickly becoming mainstream in the U.S., and theoretically, it’s an excellent idea for a Lindor chocolate flavor. Its slight bitterness seems like a great antidote to the sugary taste of many Lindor truffles.

However, we really wish Lindor had gone with a dark chocolate shell or even a matcha one instead of the current white chocolate. They’re two overpowering flavors that we think would have been better kept apart. And that’s a shame, because the cream is pretty great. 

25. Cheesecake 

A different “light” Lindt chocolate flavor, Cheesecake is saved from the ignominious fate of its white chocolate cousins by the natural tartness of cream cheese. Do you get a ton of that in this truffle? Admittedly, no.

But it’s ever-so-slightly there, thanks in no small part to the faint hint of lemon you taste somewhere in the mix. That’s enough to have us on board with this decadent Lindor chocolate flavor. It’s a little bit much, but in a good way. 

24. Raspberry Cheesecake 

Most of what we said about Cheesecake is also true of this Lindor chocolate flavor, since they have the same cream filling. The reason Raspberry Cheesecake gets the nod is that you get a slight, much-needed tartness from the raspberry shell.

It’s not quite as strong as you might hope, but it’s enough to elevate this Lindor chocolate flavor above its plainer cousin. There’s definite room for improvement, but it’s still an enjoyable truffle and the better cheesecake option of the two. 

23. Dulce de Leche 

Both milder and more decadent than regular caramel, this Lindor chocolate flavor is the brand's attempt at introducing a little more sophistication into its lineup. If you’re looking for straight-up caramel, then this one might disappoint: Latin American dessert staple dulce de leche is milder, thicker and less buttery, and you can tell the difference straightaway.

But in exchange, this product is thick, creamy and oh so decadent. If you want a Lindor chocolate flavor that tastes like a real dessert course rather than an after-dinner afterthought, this is it. 

22. Milk Mint

We still aren't the biggest fans of mint. Bias, unfortunately, dies hard. Show us a mint chocolate and we’ll pull out a tube of toothpaste to do a taste comparison. But there are those who simply adore mint in their Lindor chocolate flavors, and if that’s you, we’d vouch for this over White Peppermint in a heartbeat. At least there’s only one offensive flavor here.

21. Sakura 

Japan is well-known for its novelty chocolate flavors, so it seems only appropriate that Lindt would make a nod to the world’s biggest exporter of limited-edition Kit-Kats. Actually, there are two — one will be making an appearance later. But this one is particularly unique, paying homage to the iconic cherry blossom with a cherry-infused white chocolate truffle. 

Aside from being fiendishly hard to find, this Lindor chocolate flavor is very unique in the brand’s lineup. Cherry and strawberry infusions in the cream make it fruitier than is the norm with these truffles, and it’s less decadent, too. Overall, the tartness of berries is a great way to offset the sweetness of white chocolate. 

20. Hazelnut 

This Lindor chocolate flavor does double-duty with the hazelnuts: there are nut chunks in the shell and hazelnut essence in the filling. It’s committed to the flavor it claims to be, and we respect that. Too many Lindor chocolate flavors don’t do that. This could easily have been a bland Nutella imitation, but it’s pretty much all-in, which has resulted in its decent ranking in this lineup.

19. Maple 

Where other companies went all in on the pumpkin spice craze, Lindor did something different to bring in the autumn shoppers: Maple. It’s actually a pretty phenomenal recreation of the real thing.

Would we have expected a Lindor chocolate flavor to be able to mimic the taste of maple syrup even decently? Perhaps not. But against all odds, this flavor manages to pull it off. It’s a coup — if you happen to like the taste of maple syrup, of course. 

18. Peppermint Cookie 

Sigh. We’ll begrudgingly award a top-20 ranking to this festive Lindor chocolate flavor because it’s deserving, but you should absolutely know that we took it into careful consideration.

Is it our fault that Lindor nails the combination of creamy milk chocolate, delicate peppermint and whimsical cookie crumble here? No, it most certainly is not. It’s only our integrity (the people have spoken, and they love Peppermint Cookie) that forces us to concede our wariness of mint to the success of this flavor. 

17. Double Chocolate 

This classic Lindor chocolate flavor may appear ordinary at first glance, but its combination of milk chocolate shell and dark chocolate filling really does set it apart. It’s sweeter than plain Dark Chocolate and more nuanced than Milk Chocolate, which is exactly what a mixed flavor like this is supposed to be. No matter where your opinions lie in the milk vs. dark chocolate debate, it’s hard not to love this classy Lindor chocolate flavor. 

16. Blueberries and Cream 

Lindor’s fruit truffles are almost universally good. That one of the lower-rated picks placed 16th out of 41 flavors is indicative of that.

Blueberries and Cream suffers a bit of a ratings collapse because it’s just not as fruity as some of the punchier Lindor chocolate flavors with fruit fillings. However, it’s still deliciously creamy and manages to make a white chocolate shell taste passably okay (that’s the most we’ll ever give it).

15. Orange

Is there any food combination more underrated than chocolate and orange? We think not, so we’re glad there’s a Lindor chocolate flavor that addresses the dire lack of orange and chocolate treats in the world. It’s bright, tart and the perfect complement to Lindor’s signature milk chocolate. 

14. Cookies and Creme  

This is one case where a white chocolate shell makes sense, since it’s the closest analog to the vanilla flavor in the middle of an Oreo. The crunch of chocolate cookie pieces also doesn’t hurt. If you’re hankering for a bowl of ice cream in the middle of winter, this Lindor chocolate flavor will do the trick without the brain freeze. 

13. Neapolitan 

Speaking of ice cream flavors, try Neopolitan on for size. We think it deserves a shot. Despite our general loathing of white chocolate, there are a couple of things that can overcome it. And one of those is a bizarre, childlike devotion to Neapolitan ice cream.

No ice cream flavor is more pleasing to look at, and it tastes the part — we’ll die on that hill. Naturally, then, we’re willing to go all-in for this less-than-popular Lindor chocolate flavor. The flavors here aren’t as defined as they are in a carton of the real thing, but all the right components are there. 

12. Strawberries and Cream 

This is the highest-rated white Lindor chocolate flavor on this list, and that’s because its creamy strawberry filling marries better with the shell than any other cream that Lindor has yet attempted. It’s sort of like a strawberry cheesecake flavor, and we’re all for that. 

11. Milk Chocolate

The original, the classic, the perennial favorite: Milk Chocolate doesn’t even have to do anything to be iconic. There’s truly not much going on here, but the silky texture that convinced the world of the deliciousness of Lindor’s truffles is at its best here. We'd be willing to bet that this was the first Lindor chocolate flavor you tried, and it’s not at all a bad place to start. 

Exciting? Decidedly not. There’s a reason it doesn’t even crack the top 10 (shocking, we know). But delicious? Even the most diehard hater won’t be able to deny that. 

10. Almond Butter

This Lindor chocolate flavor isn’t as nutty as Pistachio, but it’s much creamier, and you'll understand why it’s got “butter” in the name when you bite into it. Almond butter is often viewed as a health food or an allergy-friendly substitute for peanut butter, but that’s not what this decadent Lindor truffle is at all. You’ll enjoy this one most if you allow it to surprise you. 

9. Dark Mint 

Okay, let’s be clear here: Dark Mint makes it into the top 10 on popularity, not appeal (to us, at least). Our mint aversion dies hard, and it’s only because so many fans absolutely adore this Lindor chocolate flavor that we’re giving it this enormous benefit of the doubt.

You can’t argue with its incredible reviews, though: if you like the divisive yet refreshing flavor, this is simply the ideal mint chocolate treat. Not too sweet, balanced and cool — it’s everything a mint lover could want. 

8. Dark Strawberry 

So many of Lindor’s fruit flavors seem like they could be vastly improved in one simple step: switching a milk chocolate shell to a dark chocolate one. Dark Strawberry takes that plunge, and that’s what makes it one of the best Lindor chocolate flavors the company has come out with yet. This delectable treat features everything there is to love about Strawberries and Cream, and Dark Chocolate — how could that go wrong?

7. Blood Orange

Blood orange is a bit of an acquired taste, but that also makes it a particularly sophisticated choice for a Lindor chocolate flavor. It’s also known to pair well with chocolate, so, you know, that’ll help. If you’re looking for a truly unique taste and a slight tartness in your Lindor chocolate flavor, try to find a bag of Blood Orange. It’s easily one of the brand’s most distinctive and refined offerings.  

6. Caramel 

Don’t pretend this isn’t the first flavor you look for when you see an open bag of Lindor truffles. Invariably, Caramel is the first Lindor chocolate flavor to run out, and there’s a reason for that.

Is it the most elegant, the most nuanced or the most sophisticated of Lindor chocolate flavors? No, probably not. But it’s almost universally loved. That kind of popularity earns it a necessarily high rating — unless, of course, you have braces. 

5. Dark Chocolate 

We struggle to find the right words for this Lindor chocolate flavor for the same reason no self-respecting English major writes a thesis on Hamlet: every worthwhile thing to say about it has already been said. It’s elegant, grown-up, not so overpoweringly sweet; there’s nary an occasion for which this Lindor chocolate flavor isn’t appropriate. Simply one of the greats. 

4. Raspberry and Cream 

If your ideal Lindor chocolate flavor resembles the truffles you’d buy at a fancy chocolate shop as a Valentine’s Day gift, this is it. Raspberry and Cream’s decadent center is one of the best in the whole lineup, and like Dulce de Leche, it feels more decadent and substantial than the average Lindor truffle. If anything, it makes us wish that Lindor did more fruity flavors — obviously, they almost always turn out well. 

3. 60% Dark 

Now, take everything we said about Dark Chocolate and amplify it. This Lindor chocolate flavor is even more elegant, even more refined, even more I-can-almost-believe-this-is-healthy than the classic version. Will it definitely have a fair number of detractors? Indisputably. Some people feel about ultra-dark chocolate what we think about mint. But we’ll throw our hat in this ring anyway. 

2. 70% Dark 

You know the drill by now. This Lindor chocolate flavor is just the previous one dialed up a notch. If you tend to avoid Lindt entirely because the majority of its flavors skew too sweet for your tastes, this extra dark chocolate flavor is the one you’re going to want to grab before it’s gone. 

1. Salted Caramel 

And then there's this, Lindor’s magnum opus: it had to be. Salted Caramel is the Lindor chocolate flavor to put the rest out of business.

Sweet, buttery, rich, but just salty enough not to let any of that decadence overwhelm the palate — it’s hard to believe this is chocolate you can buy at any ordinary supermarket. If a cataclysm were to wipe out every Lindor chocolate flavor but one, we would hope and pray that Salted Caramel was the one to be spared.

We understand: Lindor chocolate flavors are so varied that our ranking is bound to differ from yours. So what we hope you’ll take away from this is a little inspiration: there are dozens of flavors out there, most of which you probably haven’t tried yet. We know what you're thinking, and we agree: Next time, why not branch out beyond your standard Lindor chocolate flavor pick for something different?
