What is National Cream-filled Chocolates Day?
Chocolate lovers rejoice as February 14th is National Cream-Filled Chocolates Day. Around 58 million pounds of chocolate will be purchased on the same day. The bulk of the candy will be packaged in heart-shaped boxes filled with bite-sized chocolates with ooey, gooey centers. On Valentine's Day, quite a few of these cream-filled goodies will be exchanged and posted.
Chocolate makers also have a large variety of cream-filled delights. Take your pick from marshmallow cream, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, strawberry, coconut, hazelnut creme, and even creme de menthe. How about coffee cream-filled chocolates? Nearly every fruit you can imagine can be turned into some sort of creamy center.
What's inside those hard chocolate shells? Many chocolate manufacturers also have a map so you don't accidentally eat one that doesn't go well with you. Make your own gift box with the flavors you choose to completely avoid the mystery. This option is available at some chocolate makers. Not only can you choose the chocolates your love loves best, but it's also a personalized gift. How chocolatey sweet is that? It's also a great way to prevent biting into a flavor that will ruin the evening's taste.
Making your own is another way to make cream-filled chocolates extra special.
No matter how you celebrate, be sure you bite into a cream-filled chocolate or two that you love!
