 FOR BEER LOVERSBeer and Pretzels Truffles
Sometimes you take the low-key, let's-sit-on-the-couch-and-watch-the-game approach to Valentine's Day. For
that we suggest these beer-and-pretzels treats, made with a hearty American stout-infused chocolate, covered
in milk chocolate and then rolled in crushed salted pretzels. Test them during the season's second most
romantic holiday: Super Bowl Sunday.
 FOR CHAMPAGNE LOVERSChampagne Truffles From Teuscher
The French have given us champagne. The Swiss, chocolate. So Teuscher brokered this power-sharing
arrangement: champagne truffles, with a Dom Perignon-spiked ganache center covered by a creamy milk
chocolate exterior. It's like a sexy Treaty of Versailles.
 FOR ABSINTHE LOVERSAbsinthe Truffles From Vosges Haut-Chocolate
As part of their Valentine's-themed Sweet Coquette collection, Vosges offers eight kinds of truffles with
aphrodisiac qualities—and that's not counting the French netting that's on the outside of the box. The
absinthe version is made with dark chocolate, fennel, star anise and Pastis. Because it's not a party until
the green fairy arrives.
 FOR BOURBON LOVERSCocktail Cups From Lillie Belle Farms
Maybe you're romancing someone who has a taste for the hard stuff. Now's not the time for judging—it's
the time for indulging. So these chocolate cups come filled with a booze-enhanced cream, using gin, vodka,
tequila or bourbon. It's a veritable open bar of romance.
 FOR MOJITO LOVERSThe Pomegranate Mojito Cupcake at More
Latin lovers are kind of cliché, but there's still something seductive when it comes to the way they
drink. So this Pomegranate Mojito Cupcake offers a fresh take on the classic, made with pomegranate
liqueur frosting and topped with a mint-flavored marshmallow. No muddling needed.
