[Sugar Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-confections), the Los Angeles-based "digital bakery," delivers two yummy-looking [romantic chocolate flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-chocolate-collection) that have been 3D-printed with its special, patented technology. Consumers may choose between the Peppermint Mocha Valentine's Bonbons and the Love Hurts Glitter Skulls. Each is available in a set of six. The peppermint Valentine's Day bonbons feature a peppermint-flavored shell that has a "texture of compressed cotton candy" and the confectionary indulgence is filled with a rich mocha chocolate ganache. The skulls, on the other hand, boast notes of passionfruit. Each unit can be popped into a glass of champagne, for example, and when dissolved, the skulls leave "gorgeous edible glitter."
