Thanks to Harbor Sweets for these amazing handmade chocolates in exchange for a review! All thoughts are my own.

While it might seem cliché to offer sweets to your Valentine this season, you are actually following a centuries old tradition. I'll spare you the gory details of St. Valentin and the real Valentine's Day, and stick to the sweeter version of chocolate! 

Chocolate, in its original form, was not at all sweet nor a commodity for the regular person, like you and me. It was considered an exotic, expensive bean that really stayed within royal lines. It wasn't until the introduction of sugar production within the 19th Century that chocolate really picked up as a consumer product. 

In the late 1860s, Richard Cadbury capitalized on this concept and a new product emerged! Of course, it's been tweaked and refined over the last couple of centuries, with some variations and flavors thrown in as well.

I particularly love good chocolate, and became spoiled during my endeavors as a global missions volunteer after college. American chocolate companies are vastly different from our European counterparts, so I often look for small companies that specialize in handcrafted products. 

Not only am I supporting a small business, I'm also getting a quality item that is usually far better than our grocery store chocolate boxes. 

This Valentine's Day, grab your chocolate from Harbor Sweets. Harbor Sweets is located in MA but does offer shipping via UPS and their partners. Starting out as a kitchen-based company, Harbor Sweets originally created sailboats, known as sloops. As time passed, the company grew and eventually became woman-led with a mission to produce the best chocolates in the world!

Wouldn't you love to gift your Valentine the best chocolates in the world? Start off with the signature candy: Sloops. Sloops are a white chocolate base, dipped in dark chocolate, and covered with almond butter crunch coffee. Each sloop resembles a sailboat, which is fitting for this MA based company! 

The Love Sweet Sloop set contains 16 sloops that your loved one will absolutely devour. These are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover! For a special Valentine's Day treat, each sloop is also adorned with small edible hearts. There is also a dark chocolate version for those that prefer dark to milk chocolate.

 I absolutely love the Sloop chocolates and the red & pink hearts make this an even more special chocolate to devour!. 

If you just want to send hugs and kisses to your loved one, check out the Milk & Dark Chocolate Hearts 9-piece set. This contains nine solid chocolate hearts that is a great gift for anyone who you want to shower with love! As far as mild chocolate solids go, this one is creamy, melts in your mouth, and contains that right amount of cream to chocolate so that its not too bitter when biting into it! 

There are many other chocolate sets from Harbor Sweets to surprise your loved ones with, so be sure to check them out. There is still plenty of time for purchasing and shipping, espeically if your loved one doesn't live near you.

This Valentine's Day, grab the Milk & Dark Chocolate Hearts 9 piece box or the Love Sweet Sloop 16 piece box for a great treat to gift your loved ones!
