I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 of the large boxes would be a perfect Valentine's present: Rose and Violet Creams from Rococo in the UK.

The fondant creams are wrapped in deliciously rich dark chocolate and topped with crystallised rose and violet petals." 12 fondant creams for £21.95; 20 fondant creams for £31.95, at Rococo Chocolates.
