"Sometimes, a simple box of chocolates is the best gift — something to enjoy over a few weeks with an espresso or after a filling dinner at home. One of Los Angeles’s most adored chocolatiers, Valerie, is now celebrating 20 years of business with a 31-piece grand assortment. The box features almond fleur de sel toffee, mint toffee, black pepper truffles, scotch truffles, liquid caramel bon bons, almond toffee, and 72-percent cacao bon bons, so there’s something new for every day (or hour)." - Matthew Kang
