History says that the one and only St. Valentine was not a patron of true lovey dovey things. This however doesn’t mean that we can’t embrace this sweet holiday with all our hearts! If you love chocolate then this holiday is probably among your favorite. All things cacao become the focus. There’s no end to the chocoholic fascinations you can find online, at the markets and there are so many decadent recipes you can make at home.
So no matter who you are celebrating with, make it a point to honor them or yourself with some chocolate love.
