VALENTINE’S Day wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some indulgent chocolates.
There’s a Valentine’s Day chocolate selection out there for everyone: the best Valentine’s Day chocolates will be tasty and moreish, come in beautifully packaged boxes and delight the recipient with exciting and unexpected flavour combinations.
The easiest way to score points when it comes to Valentine’s Day chocolates is by presenting your special someone with their favourite chocs, in a heart-shaped box or tin.
Of course, you should note that you’ll be paying a bit extra for the packaging.
So, if you’re giving something to a chocolate fiend, you may want to skip the heart shapes and red wrapping and just invest in the next size up.
Other clever ways to gift chocolate this Valentine’s Day? We love the idea of tantalising a loved one’s taste buds with an unexpected chocolate flavour combo, or ingredient (popping candy, anyone?).
