No Date; No Problem: Five Homegrown Chocolate Brands To Make Your Valentine's Day Sweeter

No Date; No Problem: Five Homegrown Chocolate Brands To Make Your Valentine's Day Sweeter

So, you’re single this Valentine’s Day — big deal. The world already shoves romance, weddings, and kids down our throats every other day. Why would February 14 be any different? Do yourself a favour and skip the pity party. If 'Bridget Jones’s Diary' and 'Legally Blonde' have taught us anything, it’s that the solo ride might be rough, but it’s nothing a little sugar rush can’t fix.

People who say 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend' obviously forgot about chocolate — the ultimate ride-or-die, heartbreak healer, and self-care essential. No awkward dinner dates; no disappointing gifts: just pure, endorphin-induced joy. Whether you’re celebrating your fabulous self, ignoring the whole thing, or just here for the snacks, we’ve rounded up the best selection of homegrown chocolates to treat the most important person in your life — you.

Forget candlelit dinners — treat yourself to a custom-made chocolate tablet, a handpicked truffle tin, or a luxe selection of bonbons and palettes, because self-love tastes just as sweet (if not sweeter). Whether you’re into rich dark chocolate, nutty bites, or fruity surprises, there’s a perfect match waiting for you — no awkward small talk required. Available from Feb 1-15, 2025, this is your sign to go all in on indulgence. Because let’s be real, the best love stories start with dessert.

Ether

Ether Chocolate

Ether's LOVE’ Heart Cake is basically self-love in dessert form — strawberry, Peruvian dark chocolate, and hazelnut coming together for a luxe twist on the classic chocolate-covered strawberry. The signature heart bonbon, a dangerously good mix of dark chocolate, black truffles, hazelnut praline, and sea salt. And if you like to keep your options open, the Limited Edition ‘Library’ Box of crispy treats or the LOVE’ Chocolate Bar Portfolio lets you mix and match your faves.
