The only problem is that these silky-smooth chocolates won't be around much past February 14th. The new Dove Promises Pink Champagne and Milk Chocolate Swirl Hearts are a seasonal treat that combines the sweet taste of pink Champagne with the richness of milk chocolate. Each chocolate is formed into the shape of a heart and packaged in a foil wrapper with a light-hearted messages like "Cheers!" or "Toast!" printed on the inside. According to Dove, the chocolates are perfect for significant others, friends, family, co-workers, or even as a treat to yourself "because we all deserve a little love and chocolate on Valentine's Day."
