They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. But, if chocolate is involved, the same route could be taken to a woman’s heart. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner,
Southport Grocery & Cafe is going to put that theory to the test.

For chocolate purists, Fran’s 10-piece sleeves of Chocolate Hearts ($11.50) are made from Pure Venezuelan Milk or Dark Chocolate and define elegance. For adventurous chocolate lovers,
Vosges Aphrodisiac Mini Bar Library Box ($24.00) offers an exotic assortment of chocolate bars.

A Library You Can Eat

The nice thing about chocolate is that you can dip just about anything in it. That’s the idea behind Anysetiers du Roy’s Fondue Au Chocolat ($14.95). These 7 oz. crocks can be heated up at home
to enjoy dipping in Chocolat Noir, Lait Gourmet & Lait Vanille. We’ve also bundled some of these Fondues with our homemade marshmallows and biscottis ($20.00). We’ll be preparing for Valentine’s Day just like any other holiday…by baking. For a limited time, we’ll be offering a box of Handmade Valentine’s Day Cookies ($16.50). Of course, chocolate will be well represented in this array.
