I dislike toffee, but if you must make it, cinnamon toffee sounds interesting.  :cool:

Mint is the most "posh" one, I think - it gives a unique taste so pick it if you want to show off to your guests/customers.

Personally, I'd go for cinnamon or coffee, because these are my favorite flavors to go with dark chocolate. I am not a big fan of combining dark chocolate and fruit tastes, but it's just my personal preference.

Edit: I haven't tried yet dark chocolate and chili. I planned to get it many times but never had enough courage - I fear it may taste like crap. :P

Unfortunately, while mint goes spectacularly with dark chocolate, it is truly awful with butter toffee. Something about the butter with the mint.  :x

I haven't tried the chili, either. Like you, I'm too skeered to try. :ph34r:

Well, we went with the butter rum toffee and the cinnamon. I've no idea how they taste yet, though. I'll know tomorrow, when we coat them. Should be interesting. We're also going with white chocoate with butter toffee.

Dark chocolate and chili is strange, but oddly satisfying.  You guys realize this is kinda how the indigenous Mexicans consumed it, right?

:yes: Cinnamon and nutmeg aren't that uncommon in chili recipes, so where's the harm in chocolate along with it?  Anyway, it also depends how strongly you use the chili.  It can be used to just give the chocolate a bit of zest.
