Sweets For Your Sweetie

Have you ever wondered how the tradition of giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day got started?

Well, it was back in 1861 that a guy named Richard Cadbury (does the name sound familiar?) thought to sell chocolates in heart-shaped boxes decorated with rosebuds and Cupids. With chocolate being viewed as an aphrodisiac dating back to the Aztecs, it’s no wonder so many other candy makers jumped on the sweet train.

If you’re looking for the perfect treat for your special someone, check out Läderach Chocolatier Suisse. Fresh off having introduced a winter holiday chocolate collection of more than 40 artisanal chocolate gifts, the Swiss chocolate maker has something for every sweet tooth. The classic assorted 36 pralines packed in a pretty wooden box offers Moccatine, Feuilletine, Le Noir, Hazelnut Heart, Walnut Marzipan, Pistache-Gianduja, Piedmontese, Caramel Triangle, Rigoletto, Nougatine, Nougat-Truffle, Walnut Log, Dulce de Leche, Carré Läderach, Honey Triangle, Trois Frères, Chessboard and Mousse Milk. If white chocolate is more your style, try the FrischSchoggi™, fresh white chocolate combined with a creamy curd and strawberry slices. It comes in a quarter, half or whole chocolate slab.
