Starting in January, you probably noticed the grocery store shelves were starting to fill up with red and pink candy galore! Here you are, fresh off the new year’s resolutions, being taunted by endless Valentine’s Day candy. What’s a girl to do? 😉 Let’s talk about the many Chocolate Box options you’re presented with. How does one decide?! So many brands, so many options. Sure they look pretty in their heart-shaped boxes, but chances are you’ll only like a third of the options. I’d rather have peanut butter cups! Or chocolate covered cinnamon bears! Or Chocolate covered salted caramels!
I have the solution. Create a personalized chocolate box for your Valentine this year by filling a box with their favorite sweets! This eliminates the question of which chocolates your Valentine will like the best. To give your chocolate box the finishing touch, tie it up with a personalized love message! We used the P-touch Embellish to create custom love notes on the lovely satin ribbon to wrap up the chocolate boxes. By personalizing the ribbon with a love note, the ribbon becomes the card!
