Valentine's Day with Eclipse Chocolat

Today is January 6th. For you chocophiles out there that might not mean much, but for myself and the other 10 cocoa-clad kids here in the shop its already full-steam ahead for Vday! The big holiday may be 5 weeks away, but a few thousand pounds of chocolate doesn't make itself. Thankfully, our staff has nearly doubled since this time last year so I have plenty of help.
