To put a sweet new spin on chocolates for Valentine's Day this year, Godiva released a Cupcake-Inspired Chocolate Gift Box. Just as one would open a box of cupcakes and see swirls of frosting and perhaps sprinkles or other indulgent toppings, the Valentine's Day chocolates boast forms that are decorated in a similar way.
In its nine-piece chocolate set, Godiva included multiples from its Cupcake Collection like the Dark Chocolate Mousse Cupcake Chocolate, the White Strawberry Cupcake Chocolate and a dark chocolate variety with matcha mousse. These new cupcake-inspired treats are truly cupcake-like, as they take the form of chocolate cups that are filled with light and fluffy mousse.
While those with a sweet tooth will be looking forward to receiving chocolate for Valentine's Day, this limited-edition chocolate collection creatively reinterprets familiar indulgences in a bite-sized format.
