Why Do We Give Chocolate On Valentine’s Day?

TAG THE PERSON YOU’LL BE GIVING CHOCOLATES TO

From being well known stimulating aphrodisiacs to just being so damn good, here are a few reasons why we give chocolates during the lovey-dovey period of Valentine’s.

With traditions going back to Victorian England and even all the way to the Aztecs, it seems as though chocolate has always had a special place in our hearts – and mouths!

It is a well known aphrodisiac – i.e. a food that stimulates sexual desire!

Many believe the Aztecs influenced European royalty in using chocolate as a romance stimulant! In the Victorian Age, people exchanged Cupid-themed cards and gifts. Many popular chocolatiers produced different chocolates packaged in heart shaped boxes with rosebuds.

It’s also just very tasty! – a way to show another person how happy they make you!
