Although they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, don’t believe it. A girl’s best friend is chocolate. Chocolate gifts not only taste good, but also release a hormone called phlenylephlamine, which is the same hormone the brain releases when someone falls in love. Unfortunately, some women are allergic to chocolate gifts, so be sure to find out in advance before shopping. Keep the sweet treats away from pets, because their digestive systems cannot handle the stimulant theobromine found in Chocolates.

When To Give

Chocolate gifts are appreciated almost any time in a woman’s life – with the possible exception of when she is suffering from stomach flu. A recent study shows that woman prefer candy on Valentine’s Day, especially women over 50. Chocolate truffles are also an excellent way to say, “I’m sorry.” Other good times are anniversaries, graduations, Christmas and birthdays. Don’t give these sweet treats just before you are about to ask the woman a favor. You may get them hurled in your face and clothes.

Be Choosy

Skip the cheap boxed sets available in drug stores or thrift shops. They often taste cheap, too, because they have been sitting around on the shelves for ages. If any box, bar or bag of chocolate has dust on it, it’s too old to eat. If you really want to impress a woman, get some quality chocolate truffles from a confectioner, a high-end grocery store or even department stores. It will also be guaranteed fresh. Chocolate truffles are the best bet because even a woman with dodgy teeth can enjoy the smooth decadence.
