Did you know that $345 million in chocolate candy is sold during Valentine’s week? Yep. It’s true! I was curious so I goggled for that stat. I’m not surprised though. The last few years the line at my local See’s Candy Store was out the door and wrapped around the building.

Waiting for a concert, new movie release, or renewing your vehicle license? No. Nope. Not a chance! The lengthy line was to purchase those delicious chocolate morsels! Crazy, right?!

That wasn’t YOU I saw in line was it? Kidding.

This year I challenge you to show your appreciation for your loved ones by writing a note the old-fashioned way with a pen and paper, cook in or make your own sweet treats for your Valentine!

Truffles sound fancy and difficult to make and that’s not a bad misconception! These tasty pieces of chocolate are a cinch to whip up, and look like they require some pro kitchen skills!

I can’t think of anything more thoughtful than a gift that is homemade and edible. These bite size little confectioneries are sure to steal the heart of “Your Valentine.” Serve with bubbly and be sure to write in your note, “made with love.”

Want to “wow” your loves?  Make this edible Chocolate Bag for these sweets!
