Personalized Hearts for Valentine’s Day

personalized chocolate hearts

You know how hard it can be to find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift that will express just how you feel about someone. Well, we have the perfect solution to your gift-giving dilemma. Share the love with extraordinary gourmet chocolates from Vermont. Every year our chocolatiers craft a variety of tantalizing Valentine’s Day chocolate gifts exclusively for our three retail stores. Each one is carefully designed to express your emotions — a token of appreciation for a helping hand, a delightful surprise to treat your little ones, or a grand gesture of devotion for your one true love.

Be Sweet - Personalized Hearts

Chocolate says it best on Valentine’s Day. But what if your delicious chocolate heart also said your Valentine’s name? That would really be the best. Well, you’re in luck. Emily McCracken, our resident Chocolate Sculptress, is personalizing chocolate hearts with your sweetheart’s name (or pet name, if you like. It is Valentine’s Day, after all). Beautifully hand-decorated, solid milk chocolate personalized hearts are perfect for kids or any milk chocolate lover.

Be Classic – Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

For a love that stands the test of time. Sumptuous chocolate dipped strawberries are a time-honored Valentine’s tradition that is as classic as a bouquet of roses. We pick only the freshest red strawberries and hand dip each one in rich dark chocolate. Then carefully package them for you with a hand-tied bow. Voila! Love is served.

Make it Personal – Chocolate Heart Throbs

For the one that is simply irresistible. Our chocolate heart throbs know a thing or two about how to being irresistible. After all, how could they not be? To create each one, our chocolatiers craft a 4-inch dark chocolate heart and fill it with luscious raspberry cream. Then customize it with your love’s name or sweet sayings of devotion. Either way you slice it, this heart is filled with the good stuff.
