Cupid Strikes Again

It's getting close to Valentine's Day (February 14th), and once again it's time to keep a lookout for chubby flying babies hefting medieval weaponry. Yes, it is that special day in the calendar year when Sweethearts are encouraged to commemorate their relationships with a sweepingly romantic gesture - such as a presentation of sweepingly romantic boxed chocolates, for instance, with a lovely heart gift card, and your own poem. We can help! (Except with the poem. You're on your own there.)

Here is a selection of a few of the fancy new items from The Chocolate Box for this Valentines Day. If you especially like any of the presentations below, please try to order them early, since we only have a limited amount of Valentine's Day gifts, and once they're gone ...

The Heat is On - Sweets of Summer Part 2

It looks like this week is shaping up to be the hottest week this year in Melbourne, with weather reports predicting temperatures of 40, 40, and 40 degrees Celcius for the next three days, so I thought it was an appropriate time to showcase Part 2 of the Sweets of Summer, which is a list of some of The Chocolate Box's more hardy confectionery products.

	VIENNA ALMONDS The subtle delicate flavours of traditional Vienna almonds are roasted and caramelised for that exquisite crunchy taste and texture. Click here to order Vienna Almonds
	PEPPERMINT HUMBUGS Sweet, longlasting, hard-boiled delights. Peppermint humbugs are refreshing and sweet. Available in bags or jars. Click here for Hard Boiled Sweets
	CHOCOLATE ROCKS These Chocolate Rocks come with their own weather protection in the form of their deliciously crisp candy shells. Weather warning: we wouldn't send this product out in extremes of heat without weather protection, but the chocolate should be hardy enough to keep in the fridge if you'd like to try them cool. Click here to order Chocolate Rocks
	CINNAMON ALMONDS These delicately roasted almonds are baked in a crunchy cinnamon flavoured shell. Click here to order Cinnamon Almonds

Just for fun, I have put together a few pictures of our brand new store. It is located in the heart of Melbourne city, tucked away on a lane called Goldsborough Lane, on the Corner of Bourke and William Streets... and here is a map, too!
