It may be a cliche, but gifting wine, flowers and Valentine’s Day chocolates to your other half just never gets old. Skip the trouble of making your own chocolates and opt for artisanal or gourmet chocolates in Singapore instead! Think IG-worthy and bold flavours to ethically made chocolates that will instantly elevate bae’s moods. From artisanal options to interestingly spicy flavours, check out some of the best Valentine’s Day chocolates in Singapore this 2024!
No Valentine’s Day chocolate list would be complete without mentioning the creamy goodness of chocolate truffles. This homegrown brand is really big on healthy snacking so it’s no surprise that Chocoelf’s Nama Raw Chocolate (available on Chocoelf) includes no added sugar! That’s right, Chocoelf has somehow managed to create guilt-free goodness that you can indulge in without worry! And trust us, that’s important. Because you won’t be able to stop at just one with these soft and luscious nama chocolates that are absolutely creamy and rich in cocoa flavour!
Janice Wong’s Valentine’s Day Chocolate Box puts a spin on the phrase ‘feast for the eyes’. It’s no wonder Wong is known as the female Willy Wonka of Singapore. Psst, she has even served her bedazzling desserts to the late Lee Kuan Yew. The chocolates here aren’t just a feast for the eyes. Bursting with bold flavours, Janice Wong’s chocolates are perfect for your other half as a Valentine’s Day gift in Singapore!
This year, Janice Wong is featuring Valentine’s Day Box of Chocolates in several variations. There’s a Box of 9 Chocolate Roses with flavours like Strawberry Rose, Lychee Rose, and adventurous ones that include Ginger Cardamon Rose, Black Pepper Honey Rose and more. But if your other half is an alcohol aficionado, go for the cocktail-inspired box that has flavours such as Mezcal Mule, Pistachio Margarita and many others!
For those of you with adventurous taste buds, ANJALICHOCOLAT has got you covered. This humble homegrown artisan chocolate shop takes pride in its unique flavour pairings such as Star Anise, Mayan Chilli and Sesame chocolates. Their sweet treats are definitely going to be one heck of a surprise for this special occasion!
ANJALICHOCOLAT has a wide range of chocolates you can gift this Valentine’s Day in Singapore. This includes Heart Lollipops that’s almost too adorable for consumption. There’s also the extravagant Premium Gift Box with heart-shaped chocolate mendiants, almond dragees, orangettes and 16 different chocolate bonbons. Your bae will surely be delighted with all the yummy options!
It’s not every day you get to give kaya–flavoured bonbons for Valentine’s Day chocolates. If your partner’s a diehard fan of artisanal and gourmet chocolates in Singapore, there’s no reason you should skip Mr Bucket!
Tucked away in Dempsey, Mr Bucket is an open-concept chocolaterie that specialises in the intricacies of bonbon making. From Double Soy Caramel to Calamansi Surprise, Mr. Bucket wears its Charlie and the Chocolate Factory influence on its sleeves with its gamut of colourful and unique bonbon flavours. You’ll also be greeted by the store’s passionate oompa loompas who are more than glad to help you find your preferred chocolates.
Unlike the aforementioned, Hello Chocolate is not an independent brand but rather, an assembly of the top bean-to-bar chocolate makers from all around the world. They carry over a dozen brands, including Vinte Vinte Chocolate from Portugal and Beau Cacao from France.
Hello Chocolate’s Valentine’s Day offerings this year includes Vinte Vinte’s Chocolate Hearts Bonbon Box. These little treats will wow your palates with the impeccable pairing between sweet and tart. It’s a wonder how they’ve perfected the blending of chocolate and passionfruit flavours. Alternatively, go for Hello Chocolate’s Gift Set featuring all-time award winners. There are varieties from chocolateries in Ecuador, Colombia, Canada and Mexico – you can’t go wrong with this!
For purists who appreciate the finer details, there’s nothing like sampling chocolate from a bean-to-bar manufacturer. From the initial sorting to the final moulding, Lemuel Chocolate fully controls the process. The folks prefer to keep things simple with its cocoa bean and organic cane sugar chocolate recipe. The end result is a myriad of chocolate offerings that raise the bar for chocolate excellence. Speaking of bars, their single-origin bars would be fantastic options for Valentine’s Day chocolates. Your partner is in for a treat as Lemuel Chocolate includes fruity hints that further elevate the taste of these artisanal chocolates.
For this year, Lemuel is offering a Valentine’s Day I Love You So Matcha Box. It features a Matcha & Strawberry Chocolate Bar that contains strawberries and roses. The box also includes 10 signature bonbons that are beyond divine – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more decadent chocolate treat for a Valentine’s Day gift in Singapore!
Homegrown brand Fossa Chocolate is known for its unique flavours and packaging. Decked in minimalist vibes, Fossa Chocolate proves simple is best – they are an award-winning brand after all! You’ll also be happy to know that they don’t use any additives, and they always produce in small batches, thus guaranteeing freshness and top-notch quality!
While they’re featuring the Raspberry & Cream and Passionfruit Yoghurt flavours for Valentine’s Day this 2024, we recommend checking out their Cupid Kit as well. And that’s especially for those who haven’t tried their chocolates. This Cupid Kit comes with three different chocolate bars, a Pistachio Heart, some tea and others. But the best part is how there’s also a crochet rose included, perfect if you’ve forgotten to get those Valentine’s Day flowers!
Expressing your love through gifting chocolates need not necessarily mean that you have to purchase gourmet chocolates. Sometimes, sticking to the classics could be the way to your partner’s heart. If you haven’t already heard of this brand, Lindt Lindor is a classic chocolate brand and a go-to for many when it comes to chocolate gifting.
The Lindt Lindor Milk Gift Box comes highly recommended especially for fans of smooth and creamy chocolate that are slightly on the sweeter side. Otherwise, go for the Lindt Lindor Assorted Gift Box (both available on Shopee Supermarket) for a greater variety of flavours including white, extra dark and hazelnut chocolate truffles.
When it comes to chocolates, it’d be a crime not to mention Ferrero Rocher. This popular brand with Italian origins has got decades of history under its belt. Its tagline, ‘Share something special’ cannot get any more apt for Valentine’s Day.
The most adorable and suitable Valentine’s Day chocolate to gift your partner would undoubtedly be the Ferrero Mon Cheri T10, especially because of its name. It’s the perfect way to express your love for your “mon cheri” (“my darling” in French)! Besides, this chocolate praline consists of a cherry that’s surrounded by a decadent liqueur. And that’s all covered with a rich dark chocolate coating!
And if you are being more practical (because who really eats so few pieces, right?), there are other options like the Ferrero Rocher Collection T15 and Ferrero Rocher T30 (both available on Shopee Supermarket), with the former consisting of not just one, but three flavours! If your bb loves bouquets and chocolates, give her the best of both worlds with a chocolate bouquet! This Ferrero Chocolate Bouquet (available on meowmeowshop.sg) is so gorgeous and comes with lovely baby breaths too! You can also browse a range of other snack bouquets to find the one with her favourite snacks!
The Fazer Geisha line of chocolates is no doubt the prime candidate for the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. These Geisha chocolates have a creamy hazelnut centre that’s peppered with crunchy bits of hazelnut! We know what you’re thinking, but no, they’re different from #9 here. The Fazer Geisha Heart has a relatively softer exterior, providing a chewy bite as compared to another popular hazelnut chocolate brand.
That said, if you already know and love the Fazer Geisha chocolates, they now have the Geisha Caramel Sea Salt (both available on The Cocoa Trees Official Store) that serves as a savoury alternative!
Let us bless you with a brand new chocolate brand called Beech’s. They have a huge assortment: from chocolate truffles and chocolate macaroons to milk and dark chocolates with unique centres!
If you are looking to appreciate chocolate in its full glory, the Beech’s Luxury Milk Chocolate Hearts will be the best way to do so. And if you’re up for something more special, go with the Fondant Fine Chocolates, or Dark Chocolate with Assorted Fruit Creams (all available on Choco Express Official Store) – both with flavourful centres of varying tastes!
Gifting chocolates and flowers seems to be a Valentine’s Day custom globally and they’re definitely one of the fail-proof Valentine’s Day gift ideas. But have you ever wondered, why chocolates on this special occasion? Besides the fact that the satisfaction from its sweet flavours doesn’t discriminate between genders, chocolates actually symbolise love, happiness and passion. From the ancient Aztec times, chocolates have been viewed as an Aphrodisiac. This uncoincidentally traces its origins back to the name Aphrodite — the Greek Goddess of Love.
