Confectionery companies have been capitalising on the upcoming commercial holiday, Valentine’s Day, with release of confectionery product launches that reflect themes related to love and indulgence.

This includes Ethel M Chocolates and Lady M Confections, who have all announced recent product launches. From Ethel M Chocolates, it has released two new-limited edition premium chocolates, Dark Chocolate Blood Orange Satin Creme and Milk Chocolate Bananas Foster Truffle.

The Dark Chocolate Blood Orange Satin Creme balances tart sourness, milk sweetness and bittersweet cocoa with 100% blood orange juice.

“Ethel M Chocolates looks forward to the Valentine’s Day holiday every year because it allows us to create unique and exciting gifts for all types of love,” said Lisa Vannerson, Director, Creative and Media Mars Wrigley Premium Brands. “Our premium chocolates will delight your best friends, partners, family members and more, with delicious chocolate, beautiful packaging and mouthwatering new flavours.”

Lady M Confections unveiled their first-ever Valentine’s Day Bon Bon Gift Set, packed in a classic heart-shaped gift box with foil details and floral illustrations, with three new Lady Bon Bon flavours: Lychee Rose Almonds, Raspberry Kissed Jellies and Salted Caramel Pearls.

“We’re thrilled to announce our first-ever Valentine’s Day Gift Set – I may be biased, but there really is no sweeter way to show your love this season,” said Ken Romaniszyn, CEO of Lady M. “The You Are Loved Gift Set provides an elevated take on a holiday classic – from the exterior and interior design to the thoughtfully inspired confections, it’s a gift your Valentine (or Galentine!) won’t soon forget.”
