The Best Valentine’s Day Gift for Women!

Hi ya and Happy Valentine Day, eh! Fill your coffee mug and munch on a heart-shaped Valentine muffin to celebrate this auspicious day. So...what could possibly beat a box of chocolates and a dozen roses on Valentine's Day? Read on, eh!

Combining two of women’s favorite things in the world, chocolate and shoes, Texas chocolatier Andrea Pedrazza creates what can only be considered the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the ladies – chocolate high-heels.

The two weeks before Valentine’s Day is the busiest time of the year for Dallas-based chocolate shop CocoAndre. I’m sure there are other great places to buy tasty chocolate in D-Town, but only here can men find the most delicious designer shoes at a fraction of the price. 

Master chocolatier Andrea Pedrazza pours the brown goodness into plastic high-heel molds and decorates them with gourmet ingredients to make them look as realistic as possible. Unsurprisingly, her most popular creations are chocolate Christian Louboutin shoes which sell for $35. To recreate the designer’s signature red soles, the food artist uses red ganache. 

Available styles include simple colors, zebra or cheetah print and polka dots, so men wanting to gift their wives with their favorite shoes for cheap are bound to find something they like.

Yippee! Looks like a winner to me, eh. What's next? Chocolate Air Jordans for basketball fans? Football cleats? Golfing shoes a la chocolate? Here in Thailand, it would have to be sandals of some kind but the chocolate would melt before you had hiked a block anyway so perhaps that's not such a great idea. Anyway, it's the thought that counts, right? 

See ya, eh!
