February 14: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two of the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages when the tradition of courtly love flourished. There's still time to get your Valentine's Day Candy for your Sweetie!

February 19: Chocolate Mint Day

Mint chocolate is a popular variety of flavored chocolate, made by adding a mint flavoring, such as peppermint, spearmint, or crème de menthe, to plain chocolate. Mint chocolate can be found in a wide variety of edible products, such as candy, mints, cookies, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and others. Our best selling mint chocolate is our Andes Creme de Menthe Thins.
