Top 5 Valentine's Chocolates

The act of giving chocolate to your loved one on Valentines Day is a relatively new phenomenon, the origins of which started in the early 1950s. Nowadays it has developed into majorly big business with more than US$1 billion spent around the world on chocolate gifts in the lead up to February 14th.

If you are thinking of buying chocolate for Valentines Day below is a list of the Top 5 Valentines Chocolates you might wish to share with your someone special over a romantic meal. If you are really feeling indulgent you could even try all five!


5. Hershey Kisses

Not only do they look great with their teardrop shape and iconic silver foil but they also taste great too. A popular choice of bomboniere for modern weddings Hershey Kisses make an attractive table decoration if placed in a wine glass or in a box on the side plate. They are also perfectly sized for providing a light chocolate nibble after a particularly rich meal.


4. Belgian Chocolates

A good solid gift. You really can't go too far wrong with a quality couverture box of Belgian Chocolates especially if it contains an assorted mix of milk, dark and white chocolate truffles and ganache centres. If they are heart shaped then all the better. A sure fire option that will always be well received.


3. Lindt

Everybody loves Switzerland's finest and for Valentines Day Lindt's range of luxury chocolates are a sure fire winner. Whether it be as a gift, table decoration or simply to be eaten after your meal a handful of Lindor Balls or a block of their sensational chocolate can really make your Valentines Day sweet.


2. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

For a truly indulgent chocolate experience this Valentines Day there is nothing quite like dipping a platter of strawberries, marshmallows or even your favourite gummy lollies into a bowl of delicious melted chocolate. Personally I prefer to use blocks of English Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate or Lindt Mint or Orange Intense, but any chocolate would suffice. Creating the platter is alot of fun and when brought to the table after dinner looks absolutely great!
