It isn't too late for a little more love, is it?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day, or that it at least wasn't horrible for the naysayers.

Due to technical difficulties, I wasn't able to share my favorite Valentine's gift with you when it was a bit more timely, but no matter! The deliciousness of literary truffles and chocolate bars must be shared!

First up is a hoity-toity chocolate company that makes fantasticly yummy, beautifully pacakged candy that is perfect for anyone who loves F. Scott Fitzgerald. And since we always cheer for the hometown boy, no matter how disappointing his antics, that should be most of us.

The Gatsby Truffle Collection is delicious, blending chocolates with champagne, and even includes love letters from the doomed couple. In other words, it's perfect for the booklover in your life, as long as you make pains not to emulate the pair's tragic end. (And I was lucky; the company mixed up my valentine's order last year, so we got two sets. Mmmm.)

While the Gatsby truffles will be unavailable by the end of the month, Chocolove bars are here to stay. Flavors include raspberries in dark chocolate, chilies and cherries and toffee and almonds in milk chocolate. And each bar is wrapped in a love poem, making it even sweeter. Better yet, customize your own love letter and have it sent to your sweetheart. 

You can buy these bars online, or at various grocery stores including Harris Teeter and Whole Foods. I found mine at Ma Petite Shoe in Hampden.

Now if I could only find books made of chocolate...
