Best Valentine’s Day chocolate: 7 creamy, crunchy, chocolatey premium bars we love – CNET [CNET]

Valentine’s Day is just around the bend, and while chocolate certainly isn’t the only gift worth giving your loved one, kid, pals or yourself, it’s a classic choice for a reason. A literal gesture of sweetness, chocolate is all about going the extra mile to make life a little richer. 

To that end, we wanted to share the best chocolate bars for Valentine’s Day (and any day) that we’re eating right now. They range from unctuous, deep milk chocolate to pleasantly bittersweet or even floral notes. We like lots of texture and crunch, fillings that sing and flavors that surprise in our craft bars, but most brands also make pure chocolate in varying degrees of intensity and cacao content.

From satisfying snap and rich aroma to that slow melt on the tongue, these favorite milk, dark, white and ruby chocolate bars are the ones we keep biting into — and yes, we’ve dutifully savored them all.
