Here are a few compassionate options to choose from to show how much you care for that special person in your life and the animals. And all of these options all ship nationwide, so your vegan Valentine will receive their gift no matter where they are in the country.
Dandelion Chocolate
Is your sweetheart a chocolate connoisseur? If so, you can give them more than just traditional chocolates; you can give them an entire chocolate experience. Dandelion Chocolate’s Online 103: Chocolate Tasting course is a delicious and informative online class that will introduce you and your vegan Valentine to the fine art of chocolate tasting. Attendees will learn specialized techniques, flavors to look for, and specific vocabulary. Before the class, your sweetheart will receive a chocolate flight featuring five single-origin chocolate bars. Students will taste their way through the chocolate flight and test newfound knowledge during the course. The single-origin bars include only two ingredients and hail from Columbia, Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Ecuador. The chocolate tasting course is the perfect date-night experience for two or one.
