[Chick-fil-A](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-trays), the American fast-food restaurant famous for its variety of fried poultry foods, has launched a special Valentine's Day menu complete with several '[Heart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kirkwood-heart-shaped-chicken-nuggets)-Shaped Trays.' These Heart-Shaped Trays come in four varieties, each of which appeals to a different situation. The four options for tray-fillers are 30 'Chick-fil-A Nuggets,' 10 'Chick-n-Minis,' 12 '[Chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-truffle) Fudge Brownie Halves,' and six 'Chocolate Chunk Cookies.'

The Chick-n-Minis tray is only available during breakfast hours, which varies by location, while the other three are available all day. These trays vary in price based on the tray and the location, and each of these trays are only available through Valentine's Day, while supplies last. Chick-fil-A has also made ordering these Heart-Shaped Trays easy by adding a unique section for them on the restaurant's digital menus online and in-app.
