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 (he correctly decided Chuck Chocolates was not a good name for his company), 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. 9). The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Dark and shiny.

My favorite is milk and white together, definitely.

Today it's milk. :o)

those hershey bars i ate as a child ruined me.

dark chocolate is my favorite!

Dark, Darker, Darkest

Dark all the way, baby!

dark, dark, dark!

Dark. That is all.

For years I've always went for the milk chocolate over the dark, but since I hit my 40's I've been leaning toward the dark more and more.

I like my cocoa beans straight out of the pod! Wait, no. I like dark.

The darker the better, I say.
I don't understand when people say it's bitter :p

Dark and delicious.

Dark and bitter!

Definitely Dark. With some nice dry red wine.

Dark. (Milk chocolate is for wussies!)

Dark...but only recently, and milk is still a close second...

definitely dark (which seems to be winning in a landslide)

Dark, hands down. It captures the essence of chocolate well. White isn't even real chocolate; it's just cocoa butter.

Milk chocolate for sure. And, hopefully, it's a truffle.

Milk except on on days when my favorite is white.

milk chocolate

Dark, with 88% on the label!

My favorite is white chocolate. ~ :)

Dark (but milk or white are just as welcome in my house...)

Dark AND Milk!!! MMmmmmm

I looooooooove dark chocolate.

milk, but I love them all!

dark almost always, milk sometimes, white chocolate barely qualifies as food.

Well, I love DARK chocolate... darker the better, but my wife hates it. She likes milk (lighter the better). Together, we can polish off most boxes of chocolate.

dark, but milk is a close second.

can't stand white chocolate.

Dark. But "favorite" is a relative term when it comes to chocolate.

Dark, but milk is acceptable. White doesn't even deserve to be mentioned next to the word chocolate.

I love all chocolate - but if I had to choose - white!

dark. for sure.

Man oh Man do I love Dark!

The darker the better!

I love dark chocolate!

Milk is the ONLY chocolate.

I love all Chocolate, but I think I will have to go with Milk Chocolate being my most favorite.

MILK!!! Although chocolate is chocolate so any flavor will do!!:-)

I love all chocolate, but dark makes my toes curl.

Definitely milk but if that's not available - bring any on!

white on the outside with coconut crunchies- and a dark chocolate center.

It's a tough call, but I gotta go for the dark chocolate!

Dark. Not even a question!

To me it depends on the brand. I love Dove milk, Hersheys dark. I prefer a white Easter bunny.

I used to be dark chocolate's biggest fan, but lately all I crave is milk.

Love the dark!

dark chocolate for me

Any kind of chocolate is a good piece of chocolate

Ordinarily, I'd say dark, but I have a new appreciation for the glory of white. Chocolate is ALWAYS a good thing though!

Dark chocolate for sure.

Milk chocolate is my favorite.

Roses are red
Violets are a treat.
Milk chocolate is
My favorite sweet to eat!

Yummmmmmy!

Dark dark dark!

ABSOLUTELY MILK CHOCOLATE!

Milk chocolate is the best!!!

DARK That word looks silly after you see it over and over. But dark is best.

dark, but not really dark. Too high a percentage and it tastes like dirt ... really good dirt. Wait, is that a bad thing?

Has to be dark!!!!

I love dark and milk chocolate. Hate white.

love the dark. like everyone else here it seems.

After I turned 25 anything but dark was too sweet.

Dark it is!

Dark, healthier

Dark is where it's at.

Every Easter my five brothers would get a milk chocolate bunny, and my mom knew to get her daughter a white chocolate bunny. Still, my favorite, I always pick white chocolate.

Usually dark, but I can be swayed. Pretty easily.

My favorite is milk chocolate but love the rest as well!

dark all the way!!!

Always been dark....my latest crave is dark chocolate covered candied ginger from Wen Chocolates......yummmm

Give me dark. The darker the better. It's healthier for you I hear.

hard to narrow it down, but i love dark chocolate truffles. but, i love milk chocolate bark. white chocolate should only be an accent for me, not the star. mmmm....

Dark. Then white. Then milk.

Dark chocolate with a bitter tangand deepth of flavor, is my favorite; but I enjoy ALL chocolate.

THE DARKER THE BETTER!

Definitely Dark for making candy

Wow! I have to choose. I love them all. I am truly a chocaholic.

Dark, then white, then milk...

Dark chocolate for straight candy, milk for drinking, white for... um... I'm sure there's something white it good for.

Darker is the preferred but really I like it all.

Dark & Milk have their place...white just doesnt seem to be chocolate at all!!!

Love love love dark

Mmm! Dark chocolate rules, and if it happens to have some orange flavor going on, too, heaven!

Dark chocolate, definitely.

Dark. Charles chocolates are my fav!

My general mood dictates DARK. Usually 70% is my beloved one. Flavored, or not , I love it equally in my heart.
But when I want a little piece of heaven MILK is what I like.
And, if I need a measured slice of sweetness WHITE will do just fine.

Chocolate is the food of the GODS!!!! Light or Dark it is GOOD!!

Dark, but i would not turn any of the others down

Dark is always my first choice. Otherwise, I'll just take dark. Worst case scenario, I'll settle for dark. But only if I have to!
;-D

Dark dark dark!

milk and dark... depending on my mood (I'm currently in the mood for dark chocolate.)

Dark chocolate if it's by itself. But white chocolate chip cookies are my biggest weakness.

Though I usually prefer my chocolate as dark as my soul, on valentines day, a girl's gotta have milk. I need the extra sweet to balance out my bitterness over this Hallmark Holiday.

Dark, wonderfully full bodied taste and good for the body!

dark is the best

mmmm - dark!

Just like 99% of the people who have responded, I prefer dark.

Milk chocolate but I really do not like to pick favorites. I Love all chocolate!!

Milk chocolate. MMmmmmm!

dark but i'm often times in the mood for milk

I love dark chocolate alone or with any gooey filling.

Dark. Also milk. And white.

Oh, dark. My god. No question.

I prefer milk chocolate, but am willing to eat dark and white chocolate, too!

I like my chocolate extremely dark!

If its chocolate I love it, no matter what color.

i like white chocolate

A nice smooth milk chocolate goes down real easy!

White is my very favorite, however, if it's chocolate, it's inside and gone before I notice the specifics!

milk chocolate!

milk chocolate, although I wouldn't turn the others away either!

My favorite is milk chocolate, although I know that dark is healthier.

Love the milk chocolate!

Dark chocolate for sure!

All Chocolate!
