More than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold in the lead up to Valentine’s Day. But how do you decide which ones to choose to show your love? We enlisted Momofuku Milk Bar’s celebrated pastry chef Christina Tosi to share her favorite picks. “I tried to … go through my history of chocolate,” she said. “For me, it all starts with the classic heart-shaped Whitman’s chocolate sampler. My grandmas always gave it to me as a kid for Valentine’s Day.”
