Experts may offer different theories of its origin, but one thing is clear: there is Valentine’s Day because people wanted to celebrate love. The recognition of such strong emotion developed many traditions that we know today like exchanging love letters, giving flowers, and handing out chocolates. Many say chocolate is seductive and suggestive because of its potent creaminess and gratifying silkiness.
While cards and flowers are ancient Valentine’s Day gifts, chocolates have only recently become popular. However, chocolates were used as a gift during the time of the Aztecs. Aztecs believed that wisdom and power would be acquired by eating the fruit of the cocoa tree, from which chocolates are created. They also thought that chocolates had nourishing, fortifying, and aphrodisiac qualities.
A few favorite chocolate gifts include chocolate covered strawberries, hand-made chocolates, chocolate towers, and chocolate fondue fountains. Sparkled with colorful drizzle, a chocolate-covered strawberry is composed of strawberries hand dipped into white, dark, or milk chocolates. Meanwhile, hand-made chocolates have many variations depending on the taste bud of the baker and the receiver. These chocolates are put in a trendy Valentine’s boxes. Tower of sweet surprises constitute of white-chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate cherry-flavored caramels, and strawberries and crème buttons.
