All Valentines Candy Week

That’s right, for the first full week of February it’ll be all Valentines all the time. I’ll even have profiles of at least a half a dozen upscale chocolatiers to add to the Chocolate Gift Guide.

If there's anything you've seen in the stores you'd rather I taste tested, dissected, photographed first, well chime in now. In the mean time, regular reviews continue below. (Here's my current list o' goodies.)

Cool, I can’t wait for the upscale choclatiers. I had a box recently from a small confectioner in France that were mighty tasty!
