True Love Has a Ganache Centre

You have approximately 48 hours until the most [insert adjective of choice here] holiday of the year descends upon us. If Londonist were a girl, she'd appreciate a box of chocolate and maybe some flowers. (And actually, if Londonist were a boy, some chocolate wouldn't be a bad idea either. But you could probably skip the flowers.)

You can buy chocolate just about anywhere, this much is true. But there are a few standouts in town, and we want to make sure you know where they are. As highly optimistic people, we believe that what goes around comes around, and maybe if we help you get lucky, you'll help us. Don't forget to report back. And if you have any of your own suggestions, help a brother/sister out and share the love.
