This red and pink, heart-shaped pair of filled chocolates from Lake Champlain Chocolates (Burlington, VT) came nestled in a clear plastic, rectangular 8-piece box, with a short length of bright pink ribbon. tied around the box.

I enjoy slowing unwrapping filled chocolates shapes like this. Eventually you get to bite into a piece and find out what's really in the middle.

Both of today's chocolates offered a sweet center -- especially the milk chocolate heart with a sweet, flowing caramel inside. A bit too sweet for me, but many will enjoy this.

The second chocolate, a Dark Chocolate Raspberry heart had a dark chocolate covering that contained a soft and smooth, fresh-tasting raspberry and chocolate ganache filling.
