You might know their favorite candy bar or how they take their hot cocoa, but if you really want to impress your Valentine this year, then you'll need to step it up a little. Our advice? Save the classics for another occasion and surprise your chocolate lover with something completely unexpected. Think molten chocolate lava cakes, breakable chocolate hearts, chocolate truffles painted like works of art, etc. In fact, we've put together an entire list of the best gift ideas for chocolate lovers, including options for sweethearts with dietary restrictions.

Treat your chocolate lover like true royalty by presenting them with a Bridgerton-inspired truffle tray. The delicate confections come hand-painted and served on an attractive (and entirely edible) gold platter. We're confident that even Lady Whistledown would approve of the scandalously delicious flavor combinations, like Chocolate Raspberry Ganache and Peppered Brie and Fig Jam.
