This set of four heart-shaped chocolate pieces expand on KOHLER’S Original Dark Chocolate Heart variety with three celebratory flavors: Pinot Noir, Rosé and Champagne.

TCHO Chocolate has introduced two chocolate bar collections that allow gifters to show their special someone — or their best gal pals — some love. 

These bite-sized Danish treats are handcrafted with organic licorice root and coated in chocolate, making them the perfect alternative to the typical heart-shaped candy box. 

With news of Sweethearts Conversation Hearts being out of production this Valentine’s Day, Brach’s, a Ferrara Candy Co. brand, wants to ensure consumers there are still plenty of ways to express their love for one another.

Two of the three 2019 New Product winners featured cannabis, including the third place Swiss Cannabis Gum and the second place Hemptastic Hemp Bar.

Simply Chocolate, the year-old gifting and chocolate appreciation platform developed by 1-800-Flowers.com, is heading into Valentine’s Day with four new partner brands.

It’s no secret that consumers seeking food without certain allergens, animal products, pesticide use or GMOs are at a disadvantage when it comes to finding items that meet their needs. Fortunately, product variety and transparency will continue to improve as more manufacturers move into the space and adopt measures to make information available.
