Love is {almost} in the air. You're probably already planning what to buy and well, Valentine's Day just isn't complete without the dessert, so we rounded up a few bakers.
If you're single, you can order the chocolate and then cry into it {we're kidding} or just indulge yourself.

Decadent at best, you can expect rich Chocolate Boxes {constructed entirely of chocolate with chocolate-covered strawberries inside} and simple sugar cookies with hearts in the middle and so much more. Chocolate lovers, stop right here.

All Things Chocolate
For those of you who don’t believe in love at first sight, All Things will convert you, with their innovative packaging. As for what’s within the cover, we’re talking premium chocolate in a whole range of flavours.
