Savoring Sweets: Chocolate Lover's Guide to Valentine's Day | Laffey Real Estate

For many people, Valentine's Day and chocolate are a perfect match. So why not treat your loved ones to a selection of treats from one of the Long Island area's expert chocolatiers? No matter what type of chocolate you like, you're sure to find it at one of the following shops recommended by our real estate agents.

  • Kron Chocolatier - 41 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11021
    Kron Chocolatier
    has been a go-to location for fresh, delicious chocolates found near Great Neck homes for sale for over 30 years. They pride themselves on having something for everyone for holidays as well as everyday treats, whether you like milk chocolate truffles, dark chocolate caramels, or something completely different. A wide variety of Valentine's Day-specific chocolates are available, including whimsical chocolate lips, beautiful long-stem chocolate roses, gift baskets filled to the brim with decadent chocolate, edible heart-shaped boxes with delicious treats inside, and more.

  • Lazar's Chocolate - 72 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11021
    Chocolate has been a Lazar family specialty for four generations, dating back to a Swiss-style blend originating in Europe. Today, Lazar's Chocolate has served the Long Island area and beyond delicious treats since 1975. With showcases filled with drool-worthy chocolates, the shop has plenty of options to treat your sweetie. Each is homemade, hand-dipped, and hand-selected, and you can create your own Valentine's Day gift or buy one made especially for the holiday. These include chocolate roses, traditional heart boxes filled with chocolates, a heart and truffle gift box, a bag of chocolate-covered pretzel rods, and decorated heart pops.

  • Smusht - 158 Main St., Port Washington, NY 11050
    If you prefer your chocolate served with ice cream and cookies, head to Smusht, which you'll find just around the corner from Port Washington homes for sale. Small-batch hand-crafted ice cream and freshly baked cookies are smushed together to make delicious ice cream sandwiches that help you satisfy your chocolate craving on Valentine's Day. Vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip creations are always on the menu, but if you'd like to venture out into some unexpected but amazing flavor combinations, try the Spicy Aztec Chocolate ice cream or the White Chocolate coconut cookies.

  • Bon Bons Chocolatier - 319 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743
    With over 50 varieties of chocolates to choose from, Bon Bons Chocolatier, located near Huntington homes for sale, feels like a chocolate lover's idea of heaven! Each is handmade in small batches by the shop's chocolatiers, fresh to order, and fork-dipped by hand to create the highest-quality chocolates. Buy your partner a selection of fruits such as strawberries, oranges, bananas, and grapes dipped in chocolate, or create their ideal selection of treats such as truffles, mint, and peanut butter chocolates, all presented in a lovely box. 
      
  • The Chocolate Duck - 310 Main St., Farmingdale, NY 11735
    If you'd like to try your hand at making your own Valentine's Day chocolates, The Chocolate Duck, located near Farmingdale homes for sale, has got you covered with the baking supplies (like chocolate molds) you'll need. But you may want to leave the creation to the experts and buy some of the shop's chocolates, cupcakes, cake pops, or a specialty cake. The shop's owners can also assemble a basket overflowing with treats you select for Valentine's Day.
