Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway

You didn't think we'd leave you hangin' for Valentine's Day, did you? Of course not. Thanks to the generosity and Valentine's Day spirit of Charles Chocolates founder Chuck Siegel, we are giving away one of his Heart Collections (featuring an edible box) every day on the site today through Monday. That means every box of chocolate will arrive in time to present it on Valentine's Day to your valentine.

The edible box has a dark chocolate base and a white chocolate lid. Inside you'll find 24 chocolate hearts with either raspberry, passion fruit, or mojito fillings. So after the hearts are all gone, your valentine can start eating pieces of the box.

Siegel is one of America's best artisanal chocolatiers. I discovered his chocolate at last year's Chocolate Show. He makes seriously good chocolates.

Win an Edible Box of Charles Chocolates

To enter to win, just answer this question in the comments below: What's your favorite kind of chocolate—milk, dark, or white?

One (1) winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. Feel free to enter every day, but you may win only once during the lifetime of the contest. Comments for this entry will be open until 9 a.m. ET tomorrow (Feb. 10). The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

I love milk chocolate. It's creamy goodness makes me smile.

i've started leaning towards dark chocolate

Dark does it for me.

Dark, white's not even chocolate!

I'm all about milk chocolate

I like my chocolate the same way I like my comedies...

Dark.

milk please

Dark, but I'll go for any chocolate against other sweets.

I love milk chocolate the best but also like dark. Thank you!

i heart dark chocolate.

If you love chocolate, any kind will do. My favorite of all is MILK CHOCOLATE!

Dark.

Milk chocolate's not chocolate, it's candy.

My favourite kind is dark chocolate.

When I was little my folks said I was allergic to chocolate so on Easter I always got white chocolate. When I was 11 I bought myself a 3 Musketeers and proved them wrong. Now I gladly eat all 3 kinds of chocolate!

Dark - unless hazelnuts are involved; the creaminess of milk chocolate just seems to pair better in that case.

White Chocolate

Definitely DARK chocolate!

dark....yummm dark

My heart belongs to dark chocolate.

dark chocolate

I love dark chocolate when there is a filling involved. I also love milk chocolate..I like to let it sit on my tongue and melt slowly. Oh my heavens I need some chocolate now!!!

Jo(the purrr girl)

milky chocolate..............yummm

Dark, darker, darkest!

Dark chocolate makes my heart sing.

Milky chocolate for me.....

Dark chocolate, dark chocolate mousse,dark chocolate flourless cake...yum

I don't like chocolate at all

Dark chocolate, if I'm going to eat it by itself. It's just rich enough.

Prefer the intensity of flavor in dark

I love some white chocolate!!

It matters not what kind of chocolate,
They all taste so good to me.
So give me what ever you want to
And I will say "thanks" to thee.

The darker the better....DARK!

Any chocolate is good BUT dark is the best!

Dark is the best, to me.

I love dark chocolate, but hey, the milk isn't bad!

My favorite is both milk and dark!

Dark, dark and more dark

Don't make me choose one. I love them all. Seriously!

dark is the best. not super fond of white. passed on the whole dark chocolate love to my daughter even. she's four and her favorite back is the dagobah eclipse which is an 87% dark.

Milk is best but anything goes!

dark, but there is not such thing as bad chocolate

Dark, dark, dark.

the darker, the better

dark, dark, dark!

I always liked the milk chocolate best, but dark is starting to grab me.

Dark! I like the others, but dark is just superb.

i know it's not healthy or sophistcated like dark chocolate, but i can't help liking milk chocolate better.

I used to be all about the milk chocolate, but lately, I've gone over to the dark side!

dark, please

I love dark chocolate and it's even good for you!

I love Milk Chocolate

darker the better

dark chocolate for me!

I would say that the dark chocolate is my favorite....

Got to Milk. Rich and creamy.

White. I'm just strange that way.

millkkk chocolate! and dark. a box w/ both would be perfect!

Milk chocolate is my favorite. I just like the taste the best. More creamy. thanks.

oooh... dark chocolate!! yummmm!

milk chocolate!!

love the rich and creamy

There's only one answer-- milk. Period. No discussion. :-)

I like all things dark.

Definitely dark chocolate!

Got to say...my heart melts for milk!

dark, although I often do have a weakness for white

Milk chocolate-ooh la la!

Dark chocolate, since I was a little girl and my grandparents brought some back from Europe. Until then, the closest I had ever had was semi-sweet chocolate chips. The box they brought back had 25 pieces, and I made them last through the summer letting little bits/bites of heaven melt on my tongue each day. Since then, I have had many different dark chocolates and I marvel at their variations. Given the choice...I will always eat dark chocolate, it IS chocolate.

Dark, dark, dark chocolate

I prefer the delicate soft sweetness of milk chocolate.

Dark. And Milk. And Dark. Yeah...dark.

I love chocolate that is milk chocolte!

There's only one....dark chocolate!!!

It's all good!

Mostly milk. Occasionally dark.

My heart belongs to dark chocolate.

Yesterday was white..today..some dark with almonds, please.

If its chocolate its for me. I love strawberries dipped in chocolate.

dark all the way!

dark, please!

Milk chocolate. Not a big fan until my boyfriend had a job at a Chocolate Factory. Mmmm. . . bloomers.

I love milk and dark both, but white is a waste of calories!

Still milk, still willing to try dark.

I love all three....

All chocolate. Dark, Milk, White any kind. And I eat some every day.

Milk chocolate is my favorite. I also like white chocolate but dark chocolate not so much.

Dark chocolate and only dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is like fine wine full of nuanced flavors. Milk chocolate is like boxed wine, gets the job done but its not pretty. White chocolate is malt liquor.

Dark, dark, dark!

dark chocolate

milk chocolate

Milk and some brands of dark.

Love Dark Chocolate

i'm a milk chocolate girl!

Definitely dark chocolate!

just milk chocolate for me please!

Dark chocolate for this chocoholic!

dark for sure!

Silky Creamy Milk Chocolate

dark mostly

milk chocolate

Definitely dark... well, except for a few combinations like those in Lindt truffles, with them I'll savor either the dark or the milk chocolate version... just not those other strange flavors. If I can't win the box with chocolates, maybe just the box? You could even keep the white chocolate lid!

dark chocolate please

dark chocolate, of course!

White rules.

Depends on what it is blended with, but dark is my fave.

Milk- does a body good!

Dark chocolate (but I love milk chocolate too). What a lovely prize!

dark without a doubt!

Mmm... dark! I had a delicious dark chocolate crepe this morning - Yum!

d-a-r-k dark dark dark!

I think MILK chocolate is so heavenly silky with just the right amount of sweetness. It's a pleasure of which I partake whenever possible. It's calming to let a piece slowly melt over, my tongue. The flavor focuses the brain makeing it impossible to worry about anything for those few lucious moments. Thanks!

I LOVE MILK CHOCOLATE!!!

Please enter my name into your contest, THANK YOU!!

Dark chocolate for me only

I grew up on Milk chocolate (like everyone else....), but I am really enjoying eating Dark chocolate now.

It was milk but now it's dark.

Milk and White Chocolate are my favorites. Although my wife thinks I'm completely deluded as she is Dark Chocolate all the way.

I love all chocolate!!!!!!

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is so good for me

I love all chocolate!!!!

As for me I'm a dark chocolate person. It's so nutty and complex that you just can't beat it against a white or a milk chocolate. Plus I have a whole dorm worth of people who would be glad to help me finish this off after me and my sweetheart have had our fill.

Dark chocolate, but I'll take anything... Thanks for the offer!

I like milk and dark. White...um...not so much!

there is not any type chocolate that I don't like be it dark, milk, or white I love it all..

I like milk chocolate the best, but any chocolate will do!

If the Chocolate is plain then my choice is Milk Chocolate. But if you add almonds to it, then my choice is White Chocolate with Almonds!! I never turn any kind of Chocolate though!! Wonderful contest - so much fun to see what others have shared!

dark, dark chocolate goes with my moodiness

It has to be dark chocolate.

To me it depends on the brand of chocolate. Many dark chocolates don't seem very smooth or are bitter , however I love Dove and Gharadelli dark chocolate and I love dark chocolate truffles. Otherwise, I go to milk chocolate.

Dark chocolate for me! Yum.

I've been a milk chocolate lover, but I've recently started to enjoy some darks, too. Guess my taste buds are growing up! :)

Dark is my favorite.

Dark, milk, white, bars, sauces, frozen; it's all so good.

Dark chocolate is divine.

Mmmm Dark Chocolate!

Dark and bitter - I need some right now!

White chocolate rocks!!!!!!!

I eat milk chocolate everyday and every way!

Dark but I don't turn down a nice piece of milk. As for white, I've had ONE piece that was worth the calories. Alas, I don't remember the brand!!!

Oh goodness- dark for sure. You can pretty much leave the sugar and milk out entirely for me. I'm the crazy who eats baking chocolate.

Dark, white isn't really chocolate anyway.

Milk chocolate! Yummy!!!!

I know a lot of people prefer dark but i like milk better because its much sweeter

Milk chocolate is my absolute favorite; so rich and creamy.

One, I can only pick ONE. I guess I would have to go with milk chocolate even though dark seems to have more health benefits.

dark dark dark!

dark, of course!

Dark and milk together...nom nom nom

Dark all the wayyyy.
The bitter the better :)

I prefer milk chocolate, but the wife loves dark.

White....with something crunchy in it.

I love the milk chocolate it is far the best of all. It is so creamy and very tasty.

You can't beat dark chocolate! It reminds us all of the days when we'd sneak mama's chocolate chip cookies when she left them cooling on the rack! Mmmmmm!

I love white chocolate more than milk or dark actually.

Deffinately Dark Chocolate

White chocolate- without a doubt!!! :-)

Dark, with a glass of red zin!

WHITE CHOCOLATE - YUMMMMM!

Milk Chocolate would be my first choice. I like white but just a small amount - too sweet. Dark always tastes bitter to me. Maybe I haven't had a high quality dark chocolate yet.

Weened on the stuff. For our entire marriage my husband jas always purchased my heart box of candya and roses the day after Valentine's Day at half off!

Would love some milk chocolate........but if I received Dark Chocolate, I would definitely give it to my mom for a gift. Its her favorite

Dark. It's for adults.

I love all the colors of chocolate. I don't discriminate.
I'm very democratic that way.
I think all chocolate deserves an equal chance to be devoured by me regardless of color.

Any chocolate is good chocolate

Mmmmmmmilk chocolate is my fave

Moo.

Milk chocolatez ...NAU...please.
I can haz tem nau?? =^,,^=

Milk chocolate is the best.

Dark chocolate truffles dipped in dark chocolate do not seem like overkill to me, so, obviously, I believe in the efficacy of dark chocolate to cure all ills. My daily intake is, of course, purely medicinal; a chocolate a day keeps the lumbago away, also the blues and the grumps.

I sure do love dark chocolate!

I love dark

mlk chocolate is my favorite.

Definitely Dark. White chocolate is NOT chocolate.

I've got to go with smooooooth milk chocolate!

white chocolate

dark, so good

Dark has got my vote, love it, love it, love it!

Milk has saved my life many times. Or at least, those around me when i run out.

Dark, very dark.

Sinfully delicious, dark chocolate with just a nuance of sweetness is my first choice, but chocolate in all forms is acceptable.

Me, pick me, please. My mom would ♥ this gift.

I love all kinds of chocolate but Dark is my favorite.

Dark, dark & more dark.

Dark chocolate is by far my favorite.

I only eat dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is too sweet and white chocolate tastes like wax.

Milk chocolate with some cookie pieces thrown in.

I like it all!!

I'm torn. I love both dark & milk chocolate. If I eat dark, a little will suffice as it is much richer, but I'm still a kid at heart, so I've got to have milk chocolate to lift my spirits every now & then.

Milk Chocolate!!!!

The fifth basic food group is chocolate - good old milk chocolate.

dark chocolate for me!

Mil chocolate is the best!

Milk chocolate is my favorite!

My husband is a Charles/Chuck too and I'd to give this to him for Valentine's Day. We love ALL chocolate - but have a special soft spot for the bittersweet dark. Still we've never said "no" to any chocolate!

Milk chocolate--Ummmm! Ummmm!!!
