The new Valentine's Day-themed Dark Chocolate Ganache Dove Promises are truffle-inspired chocolates with "a rich and decadent dark chocolate flavor with a silky smooth, perfectly soft center." Each of these candies comes individually wrapped in a festive Valentine's Day foil wrapper with a sweet message inside. The limited edition treats come in 7.94-ounce bags with 18 pieces inside.
