Every Valentine's Day I wonder what chocolate has to do with this holiday. Does anyone know how this tradition started?

Among early valentine gifts were candies, usually chocolates, in heart-shaped boxes. Companies like Godiva Chocolatiers have made high quality chocolate in artistic designs and elegant wrappings a traditional Valentine's gift. That's about all I could find
