$5 for $10 Worth of Gourmet Chocolate-Covered Cherries & Truffles at The Cordial Cherry

Like crayons, chocolate comes in many varieties and tastes better when unwrapped before consuming. Scribble out cocoa cravings with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of gourmet chocolate-covered cherries and truffles at The Cordial Cherry in Spring Ridge Plaza . The Cordial Cherry’s head chocolatier, Melissa Hartman, constructs whimsical made-from-scratch confections guided by her Grandma Sheldon’s antique recipes and perfect for Valentine’s Day. Spheres of chocolate encase succulent cherries and sweet cordial filling as Melissa doles out her signature treats in boxes brimming with eight dark chocolate, four white chocolate, and four decorated cordial cherries ($19.95-$39.95). Sweet teeth can also acquaint themselves with The Cordial Cherry’s new gourmet truffles ($32 for a box of 16), which boast hand-dipped outer shells swaddling dollops of sweet cream. Armed with candies and fondant, Melissa further personalizes orders of cherries or truffles by embellishing four orbs with a fanciful theme of choice, from birthday cupcakes and snowmen to baseballs and Chester Arthur’s face.

$29 for 12 Months of Online Meal Planning from E-Mealz ($58 Value)

Much like composing a will, composing a grocery list requires the foresight to know what your kids will want. Outsource an unpleasant task with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get 12 months of online meal planning from E-Mealz (a $58 value). Endorsed by financial author Dave Ramsey and highlighted on Oprah Winfrey’s Life Lift blog , E-Mealz charts out a week’s worth of dollar- and healthy-savvy dinner recipes to relieve the burden of kitchen-related stress. Each week, organized grocery lists—customized by family size, dietary desires, and store preferences—showcase flavorful culinary creations for discerning palates. Plans developed by working parents capitalize on sale items at stores such as Wal-Mart and Kroger, and an “any store” list can be used to navigate the aisles of other favored grocers. Family meal plans serve seven meals for three to six people, whereas plans for two are tailored to singles, couples, or a pair of sock puppets on a date atop a chest of drawers. Special vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb, low-fat, and portion-controlled meal-plan options aid nongeneric eaters in assembling targets for their teeth and postholiday fitness regimens. The Wal-Mart family plan supplies culinary sustenance to families of three to six for an average weekly cost of $75–$85 and takes advantage of the store’s regularly discounted prices. A duo can fill a Publix cart for $35–$45 a week, including side dishes. Born of founder Jane DeLaney’s desire to feed her family stress-free dinners provisioned from an organized list without coupons, E-Mealz allows shoppers to spend more time at the table and less time wandering about the grocery store uttering monophonic 10th-century chants in dismay.
