When it comes to Valentine's gifts, as far as I'm concerned, you can save yourself the money on the singing teddy bears or big bouquet of flowers or expensive bottle of wine. Just.Bring.Chocolates. And these extraordinary chocolates are all pretty darn exquisite, and certainly a far cry from the ones your high school boyfriend bought at the local drug store.

They're so good that you should totally share the love with your best friend or mom or, I don't know, your favorite resident blogger...

The collection of salted caramels (right) are just about the most perfect thing on the planet. And if you are considering buying chocolates for your fella, Moonstruck's collection of chocolates with ingredients from local distilleries will be very much appreciated.

What I love about Christopher Elbow's chocolates is that they are as pretty as they are tasty. This collection of painted chocolate hearts (above) is just gorgeous!

When a box of chocolates just isn't quite enough cacao for you, you might want to consider a chocolate box of chocolates.
