But another unique offering of unit16sweets is their personalized packaging. Although this service is only available for bulk orders, if you’re planning a party for V-day (say, a wedding or a proposal), you can have their chocolates as souvenirs with your very own design on the cover.

Macarons are simple, charming, and delicious in every bit, but Merry Macarons decided that it can be more. Merry Macarons is a one-woman show run by Maye Padilla, who specializes in macarons with fun and whimsical twists.

Classic macarons are made with almond flour, but Merry Macaron’s version is mixed with cashew flour to give it a unique taste and at the same time help the local cashew market. You can also order a personalized version where you can tweak the shape, color, design, and flavor and even add a message on your macaron. One macaron retails for PhP50, and a minimum order of 12 pieces is required.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory may be more known for their huge variety of chocolates, truffles, and brittles, but their caramel-covered apples can make your Valentine’s Day extra special. Although candied apples are nothing new, Rocky Mountain’s version extends from different kinds of dips with various crunchy toppings.

Rocky Mountain uses Granny Smith green apples that balance the thick caramel coating’s sweetness with its tartness. The caramel apple starts at PhP260 and some of the toppings you can try at Rocky Mountain include cookies ‘n’ cream, chocolate chip, pecan, and almond.

There’s something about cookies that gives us comfort, especially when you pair it with a glass of milk. Good thing Cookie Bar Manila came in 2009 and introduced cookie cups, a cup-shaped cookie where you can literally put your milk inside of it. But to up the ante, they created more cookie variations that you can also enjoy this Valentine’s Day.

If you want to surprise your special someone, try Cookie Bar’s stuffies (PhP250 for a box of 6 and PhP470 for a box of 12). It’s your usual chocolate chip cookie on the outside, but the inside is filled with various stuffing including Oreos, marshmallows, Tim Tam biscuits and Nutella. They also have huge cookie cakes (the prices start at PhP470) with various toppings if you want to go bigger.
