Offering someone a chocolate treat is the perfect way to say, "I love you" or "Sorry for not telling you about the raccoon trap in the mailbox." Sweeten sentiments with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of chocolates, nuts, and tea from Emily's Chocolates in Fife.

Working with batches of premium sweetening ingredients from around the world, Emily's chocolatiers call forth an army of tongue-ticklers, expertly wrapping ripe fruit and roasted nuts in chic blazers of dark and milk chocolate to traffic taste-bud runways with juicy, crunchy bites. Coated delights include dark-chocolate-dipped strawberries and blueberries ($3.50 for 5 oz. bags), milk-chocolate-varnished macadamias ($11 for 40 oz. of factory seconds), and the Veruca Salt–sating "I Want Them All" package ($28), which contains 41 oz. of cashews, macadamias, almonds, raisins, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, and cranberries surrounded by candied mantles. Exotic nuts can appease legume cravings with one-pound bags of roasted cashews ($5) or parcels of pecans dusted with cocoa to detect elfin fingerprints ($4 for 5 oz.).

With Christmas o'clock rapidly approaching, Emily's showcases a variety of sacchariferous holiday gift packs for donating to siblings, acquaintances, or accomplices. Creative confections provide year-round present possibilities, such as chocolate-doused fortune cookies infused with orange and peppermint flavors and bursting with inedible foresight. The retail location carries items featured online and special selections hot off the sugarcoated presses.

Reviews

The Party Goddess featured Emily's Chocolates in her segment on the View From the Bay. The Chocolate Cult and Blog Chocolate reviewed Emily's chocolate-covered nuts and fruits.

• These Emily’s products are higher quality than your average chocolate covered raisins, more flavorful, less waxy, and more nutritious. – The Chocolate Cult
• But the unexpected and undeniable best of the bunch were the milk chocolate cocoa dusted pecan halves…These dusty morsels were spectacular. They were not too sweet and the texture was brilliant and they tasted elegant and fabulous and every other excessive descriptor you can think of. – Blog Chocolate
