Where did the tradition of giving sweets to your sweetheart come from?

Richard Cadbury, from the British chocolate manufacturing family began the trend of giving chocolates in heart shaped boxes. After improving a process of extracting cocoa butter from whole beans for a better drinking chocolate in England, he used the excess cocoa butter to produce many more “eating chocolates”. He created beautifully decorated boxes of his own design to showcase the chocolates and increase sales. He may have been the first to produce the heart shaped box in the 1860’s. Not only were they a beautiful box to receive on Valentine’s Day, they were also used afterwards to store mementos – locks of hair, love letters, and the like. Those famous Necco Sweethearts we all know and love, now known as “conversation hearts”, were invented in 1866 by Daniel Chase.

Show your love with chocolate on Valentine’s Day, an on any other special occasion! It’s a gift that’s always greatly appreciated.
