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) today. 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?

If you don't win, Charles Chocolates is offering the Serious Eats community a 20 percent discount (not including shipping) on all chocolates ordered between Monday (today) and Wednesday. Just type in the promotional code seriouseats.

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. 13). The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Dark Chocolate with Almonds!

Mousse made with dark chocolate

dark chocolate!!

dark chocolate with toffee!

Today, it's dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate! The flavor is rich and deep, it never makes your teeth hurt, and although I could eat handfuls of it, dark chocolate often satisfies after only one piece.

Dark and luscious, in almost any form!

Definitely dark.

I was never a huge dark chocolate fan until some of the boutique chocolates started using things like wasabi, ginger and ancho chiles. Now I can't get enough. Everyone needs to celebrate Valentine's Day with some Vosges truffles. Really.

Dark chocolate mixed with white chocolate is the perfect combination - not too bitter, not too sweet.

Milk Chocolate.......

dark please

Ooh, the Vosges "Red Fire Bar" would certainly heat up the holiday!

I tell myself it should be dark, but in my heart it will always be milk chocolate.

I love my Milk Chocolate (esp. with caramel!).

One of my favorite things to do is make chocolate covered fruits, such as chocolate covered strawberries! Sometimes I found the strawberries are too tart, so I found if I dip them in powdered sugar before dipping them in melted chocolate that helps. It is simple and you get a food group you need!

darker the better

Milk chocolate is my favorite
