A delicately prepared chocolate can make a woman's heart sing, a child's mouth smile, and a crossing guard's whistle taste even more like justice. Stock up on tasty times with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of gourmet chocolate at Beacon Hill Chocolates, located on Charles Street in the historic Beacon Hill area.

Beacon Hill Chocolates silences the greedy squeals of Boston sweet teeth with a confectionary cornucopia of artisan chocolates from around the world. Wade in a rich bog of olive oil and sea salt truffles—dark chocolate topped with sea salt and infused with a touch of olive oil ($2.25/piece)—or mix and match from a treacled treasure trove of individual truffles. Mint pie—white-chocolate ganache with fresh mint and a layer of crushed Oreo cookies ensconced in dark chocolate ($2.25/piece)—is a tastier and healthier alternative to brushing your teeth, and the mocha mouse—milk chocolate espresso ganache with almond ears and dipped in milk chocolate ($3/piece)—scares away any sugar-addicted elephants circling your home.

Owned and operated by the endorphin dispensing Paula Barth, Beacon Hill Chocolates utilizes the proprietress' 15 years of international craft food experience to a sweet, creamy advantage. Inside, the storefront looks good enough to eat, from the warmly striped walls and framed artwork to the glass-fronted case of cocoa-based ambrosia. This confit cabin is an ideal place to find a gift or self-gift, and it is infinitely more trustworthy than chocolate cabins happened upon in the profound darkness of the Black Forest.
