For Valentine's, Nothing Says "Love" Like Chocolate!

As much as people groan and complain about celebrating Valentine's Day, I don't know anyone who would actually be disappointed by a romantic, sweet gesture by anyone in their life who wants them to know they are loved.  So spread the warm and fuzzies!  Embrace this day don't dread it.  Listening to my friend share excitedly with me his elaborate, well thought-out plan to suprise someone he's crazy about was refreshing and touching.  Personally, I could never dislike a day that encourages giving chocolate as a gift to celebrate love or even hopeful, escalating like.  Particularly if I'm on the receiving end!

Speaking of which, there is nothing I've seen or tasted like 'Love' Belgium chocolate!  If chocolate could be 'couture', "Love" would be it's brand name, and a perfect one at that!  The box of champagne truffles is all luxury, from the decadent, rich morsels within, to the actual gorgeous, textured, lined box which are keepers with or without chocolate. 

 

The alligator is embossed with a patent finish and the animal prints are covered with soft fabric.  Give a chocolate rose or a whole bouquet instead of flowers!

Tea and Chocolate Comfort

The only thing I can imagine being more comforting to the soul than tea or chocolate is the perfect blend of Tea AND Chocolate!  I found exactly that in The Tea Room's Organic Tea-infused chocolate bars!  I have to admit I was skeptical at first, not sure if the fusion can really be pulled off since I am quite a purist where both tea or chocolate are concerned, but it was love at first bite.  From the perfectly silky, chocolate texture to the subtle, fragrant tea flavors, if a hug had a taste, this would be it. 

Choose from 5 USDA Certified Organic bars, all of which are carefully crafted to incorporate the perfect balance of tea and chocolate.  All the blends remain very faithful to the traditional chocolate experience, utilizing the tea-infusion techniques only in aspiration of elevating the chocolate's taste as well as enhancing it's embedded health properties.  That's right, this chocolate is healthier!
