I am not a hopeless romantic, but I love Valentine's Day. It is the only time of the year when it's socially acceptable to demolish an entire box of chocolates in one sitting. But beware, there is a darker side to Valentine's Day candy: gamble chocolates and antacid hearts. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to avoid ruining the holiday. Don't buy Russell Stover candies (they invented the toothpaste-filled chocolate conveniently next to the caramel-filled chocolate you meant to try) or the antacid hearts (which you should have gotten over after 5th grade). Godiva and Lindt are safe bets for avoiding Pepto-Bismol-filled nastiness. But to celebrate Valentine's Day in all its chocolaty glory, check out:
Artisan Chocolates
I have only tried their chocolates once, but I haven't forgotten them (a more detailed review to follow in the near future).

Artfully Chocolate Kingsbury Confections (ACKC)
I have fallen in love with their hot chocolate and brownies, but have not yet sampled their hand-made chocolate confections. If their chocolate truffles are as good as their drinks, it will be a Valentine's Day you won't forget.
On a budget or don't have time to pick up these chocolates? You can never go wrong with a pan of fresh, warm brownies. Just stay away from the chocolate candy Russian roulette. It's no way to spend your holiday.
