Beckon Ice Cream
There are a lot of ice cream bands you could dig into this Valentine's Day, but if you (or the one you love) are lactose intolerant, why ruin the special day? Beckon Ice Cream makes their delicious ice creams (in pints, quarts and snack cups) that are as rich and delicious as the classics, but without any of the lactose. That means no upset tummies—and even better, your tastebuds won't even know the difference.

Their goodies, made from premium, non-GMO ingredients, range from tasty almond cakes to cookie bars, cookie tarts, stroopwafels and more.

Bubbies Ice Cream
If you're not already a fan of mochi ice cream, Bubbies will make you fall in love. Their treats take the classic traditional Japanese rice dough dessert, mochi, and fill them with scrumptious ice creams to create a chewy, creamy indulgence with great flavors. Whether you're into classic flavors like chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, or are looking to try something a bit more exotic, such as Alphonso mango, blood orange or passion fruit, they have you covered.

John Kelly Chocolates
We first fell in love with John Kelly Chocolates because of the awesome skull-shaped chocolates they offer around Halloween, and now that they're offering ruby chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day, we're even more obsessed. This rare variety of chocolate is tough to find and tastes like delicious white chocolate infused with berries. It's definitely a special addition to any Valentine's chocolate taste test.

Midunu Chocolates
If you're looking for chocolates with bold flavors and unexpected ingredients this Valentine's Day, we can't recommend Midunu Chocolates enough. Midunu is one of the few chocolate brands actually crafting their chocolate in West Africa, despite most of the world's cacao being grown there, and their truffles are flavored with unique African ingredients that reflect the continent's beautiful culinary heritage.

What makes Ruby Jewel's ice cream sandwiches so satisfying? Everything.

Seattle Chocolate
Seattle Chocolate is a great Seattle-based chocolatier known for its tasty truffles as well as truffle bars, with deliciously flavored meltaway centers. They offer amazing chocolates all year round, but we're especially loving their Berry in Love Care Package for Valentine's Day, featuring a truffles gift box plus Like You a Latte, Tart & Soul and Berry in Love truffle bars, plus a selection of tasty chocolates from sister brand jcoco. The brand also donates 10% of net profits to the girls' development organization Girls Inc., so you know that by munching on delicious chocolate, you're also supporting a great cause.

Sugarfina
Not everyone loves a ton of chocolate for Valentine's Day, and if you're among those who prefer a mix of fruity, sour and floral treats along with chocolate, Sugarfina has all of the candy options you could ever dream of. Their Valentine's-themed Love Letters: A Candy Tasting Collection, in particular, will allow you to taste 16 different Sugarfina confections of all kinds—with four pieces each, so you can decide whether to share them with someone special or not.

Trü Frü
When we think of chocolate-dipped fruit, our minds immediately gravitate to expensive specialty shops that charge $4 or more for a single dipped strawberry, or fancy fruit bouquets that cost more than $50 despite getting gobbled up in a single sitting. That's what makes Trü Frü so special. Their delicious hyper-chilled pineapples, bananas, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and raspberries are chocolate-dipped and available in tasty, cost-friendly packs, so you can go all out this Valentine's Day without spending an arm and a leg.
