Chocolate Storybook

As you know, Valentine's Day is just one short week away. If you're still looking for a special treat for your sweetie that is sure to get you some smooches in return, I've got just the place for you - Chocolate Storybook.

Located at 1000 Grand Avenue in West Des Moines, Chocolate Storybook has been making handmade chocolates and other creamy confections since 1985. And the best part is that owners Meg and Steve Shearer use only the finest ingredients available, including fresh cream, real butter, and 100% chocolate - no imitation compound coatings here - everything is made to the highest standards to ensure the ultimate in taste.

The variety of chocolate treats is amazing - truffles, dipped milk and dark chocolates, malted milk balls, foil wrapped hearts, turtles - believe me, you'll have a hard time choosing your Valentine's gift.

But if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind heart-shaped box of chocolates? Yep, they've got that.

How about some chocolate roses? Sure, right here.

Maybe some cute stuffed animals to pair with your box of chocolates? No problem.

And don't forget those decadent chocolate and caramel covered apples! There they are, up on the top shelf.

Heart-shaped individually wrapped goodies? Why sure!

Really, Chocolate Storybook has everything you could ever imagine just ready and waiting for your sweetheart.

I'm kinda partial to this cutie myself.

You can also pre-order chocolate-dipped fresh strawberries for pick-up or delivery until February 10th (but you can pick them up until February 14), so you'll need to get your order in for those beauties by Friday.

And while this post is focused on Valentine's Day gifts for your sweetie, Chocolate Storybook also features exceptional Gourmet Food gifts and Executive/Corporate gift baskets that can include wine and other food items in addition to that incredible chocolate.

So if you're stuck on what to get your Valentine this year, ditch the cheezy perfume or lame gift card and get them a gift that they'll really enjoy - heavenly handmade chocolate from Chocolate Storybook! You'll find a great selection of their best selling Valentine's gifts here. I mean really, who doesn't love chocolate?! And when your someone special sees that gift with the distinctive rabbit embossed gold seal, they'll know you really went all out.

You can thank me later when you're covered in sticky chocolate smooches. And tell them you heard about them on Iowa Foodie!
