Think inside the box

OMG, it's Cupid...in a box

By Julie Haire, Special to Metromix

All we need is—everybody, now—a big cheesy box of nougat-filled love.

So on this most saccharine of holidays, it is your Cupid-given duty to bum-rush your S.O. to the point of hypoglycemic shock. Really it is. And while nothing says "I got this on my way over at Rite-Aid" like a Whitman's sampler, don't expect anything more than a quick side-hug or knuckle-bump in return. (OK, maybe two knuckle-bumps.)

If you're going to put your love into perishable food products, you might as well do it right. L.A.'s master chocolatiers offer these sumptuous selections to induce pulse-pounding, bodice-ripping passion. Your sweetheart will thank you—that's the idea, anyway.
