You may have been able to get away with the heart-shaped box of chocolates as a teenager but beyond that most expectant recipients on Valentine's Day would probably prefer a more sophisticated twist on the old stand-by. Enter Hedonist Artisanal Chocolates and their Valentine Spice Truffle Collection. Unique combinations of creamy chocolate truffles and unexpected spiced ingredients creates an unforgettable, mouth-watering experience. Step outside the chocolate box and enjoy Coconut Curry, Lemon Pepper, Orange Chipotle, Peanut Butter Cayenne and Raspberry Wasabi. Prices range depending on the size of box you choose ($12 to $54) but your enjoyment is bound to be an eleven on a scale from one to ten! Now...if I only knew of a wine that would complement each of these heated combinations...champagne perhaps?
