PrintValentine'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.

ikkinlala at 11:50AM on 02/09/08
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!
drmagazine at 11:53AM on 02/09/08
Dark - unless hazelnuts are involved; the creaminess of milk chocolate just seems to pair better in that case.

Milk chocolate-ooh la la!
Pmacm at 1:28PM on 02/09/08
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.

Milk chocolate is my favorite. I also like white chocolate but dark chocolate not so much.
tlcfromtn at 2:09PM on 02/09/08
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.

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!

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!

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.
ZhengHe at 5:35PM on 02/09/08
