century to describe small, chocolate-covered or sugar-coated confections. Originally, bonbons were sugar-coated nuts or fruits, but by the 19th century, they evolved to include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakedeco.com\/cat\/125\/chocolate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chocolate-filled varieties<\/a>, thanks to innovations in chocolate tempering and molding techniques.<\/p><p>Chocolate entered the Valentine\u2019s scene in the Victorian Era &amp; was a popular luxury among the wealthy. In 1861 British Chocolatier Richard Cadbury solidified the association between love &amp; chocolate by creating the first heart-shaped chocolate box for commercially packaged chocolates. His idea reshaped candy culture worldwide, making it a Valentine&#8217;s Day staple.
