Fannie May has aligned with famed pastry chef and chocolatier Norman Love to launch an ultra-premium line of chocolates, FM Artisan by Norman Love.

FM Artisan features handcrafted chocolates that will be available in unique flavors, from Madagascar bourbon vanilla to candy apple, in vibrant colors and designs, making each piece an edible work of art.

"As a brand that prides itself in the quality of our confections and the finest ingredients used in our products, it was a natural progression for Fannie May to develop an ultra-premium line of chocolates," explains Terry Mitchell, president of Fannie May, which is a subsidiary of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, INC. (FLWS). "We look forward to sharing these unique selections with our long-time, loyal customers, and introducing Fannie May to new palates."

FM Artisan by Norman Love are available in four-ct., 12-ct. and 25-ct. gift boxes ranging from $9.99 to $49.99.

"Keeping in line with this tradition of excellence and rich history, I was inspired by familiar and classic flavors, to introduce an ultra-premium series of chocolates, which will draw customers toward feelings of nostalgia,” says Love.
