It wasn't until the mid nineteenth century before chocolate was associated to Valentine's Day. Before this other high end and imported products such as coffee and fruits from South America were used to seduce the one you loved as it showed wealth and how much someone was willing to spend on a courtship. However then chocolate came along and was firmly confirmed its association to Valentine’s day.
The Victorian marketers knew exactly how to seduce a woman as chocolate back then was known as a woman's best friend. Some would say the Diamond of its time due to the inaccessibility. Etiquette books and chocolate advertisers would say that if a man were to gift a box of chocolates then it was the equivalent to a declaration of love.
So if you are someone wanting to declare their love for that special person in your life, who also happens to be a chocolate lover. Then why not do this with a variety of chocolatey goodness from Gnaw.
