Nothing says Valentine's Day like the tried-and-true formula of flowers and chocolates. However, even a classic combination like this can always use a fun, fresh new twist. Enter Alison Nelson's Chocolate Bar, a hip brand of "grown up" candy stores located in New York andonline at www.chocolatebarnyc.com. The Chocolate Bar makes treats that are not only sweet but stylish, with labels designed by local artists.

The latest candy collection to be released is "Graffiti Bars," ten new flavors of chocolate bars dressed in wrappers designed by some of New York's hottest graffiti artists. Each wrapper shows the artist's individual style in bright, bold colors, and each bite packs taste to match the originality and excitement of the wrapper. The flavors are creative and varied, with everything from the "S'mores" bar to the "Banana Milk" bar, a milk chocolate base filled with banana cream.

Best of all, buying one of these trendy treats does more than just indulge your sweet tooth--it also helps out underprivileged children in New York City. A percentage of the profits made from these chocolates goes to the All Stars Project, which funds arts programs in communities that otherwise would not be able to afford them. At only four dollars a bar, the Graffiti Bars will certainly be a thoughtful, delicious gift for your special someone this February 14.
