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 and tomorrow. 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. 11). The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Love milk but when the "chips" are down - I'll eat any sort!

I am an unabashed lover of milk chocolate. Oh, I know the dark stuff is good for you, and it's pretty tasty, too, but nothing compares to the way milk chocolate melts on your tongue.

Dark, please!

Milk chocolate is delicious.

Absolutely dark!

Milk chocolate is my favorite. I like dark chocolate also, and realize it is healthier.

Milk-y, milk-y, milk, milk, milk. And sometimes dark.

Milk chocolate and then add some caramel!!!

Everything, I will eat any kind except so called whie chocolate,which has absolutley no compareson to real chocolate.

I'd take a good dark chocolate over anything.

No way I could choose between milk and white. I'll take both!

used to be milk, now it's dark, but i miss the white chocolate covered macadamia nuts my dad used to make.

Dark - ~70% is the best!

Dark for me please.

I love dark chocolate when it is combines with mint. Milk chcolate is terrific with malt, as in malt balls or with peanutbutter. White chcolate is what I get at Easter time.

I love chocolate in any form. But I absolutely love, love, LOVE a big box of Whitman's chocolate. But, my indulgence is when I grab some Ghirardelli's Double chocolate and just let the silky smoothness of the chocolate melt in my mouth and down my throat. YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Milk is my favorite kind!!

I like dark chocolate best, but I'll eat any kind as long as it's of good quality.

Oooh la la.......... white chocolate is my sinful choice. I am addicted to it. Even though I know that the darkest chocolate is better for em health wise but sometimes you have got to treat your self!

White is my favorite but I like all chocolate.

I LOVE ALL CHOCOLATE. I HAVE A PASSION FOR DARK CHOCOLATE BUT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS JUST AS TEMPTING. OF THE 3, MILK CHOCOLATE PROBABLE COMES IN THIRD. SO IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE FOR THE CONTEST IT WOULD BE DARK.

Love all chocolate but definitely favor Milk Chocolate.....mmmmmmmm

All three compliment different moods at different times!! If I had to choose, I'd probably reach for dark first though! But for me all three do the trick!!

No favorite- LOVE it all.
