That's a versatile gift. Another great idea is a gift basket filled with different kinds of chocolate. Last year, more than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate were purchased for Valentine's Day alone. It's all a matter of taste. The varying amounts in each piece of candy create the different types of chocolate.
Dark chocolate contains more chocolate liquor and cocoa butter giving it a more powerful taste.
Individual candy flavor comes from the milk, sugar, vanilla and other goodies added. At RJ and Ethel May's in Elm Grove, it's the homemade chocolate fudge that brings Valentine Day customers back year after year. Fudge squares are a welcome gift any time of the year but the heart shaped fudge pieces are the February special. If the fudge heart isn't enough to impress that someone special, personalize it with a name or message. For a little chocolate variety, RJ and Ethel May's can help with a gift basket.
