The new collection is made to bring a playful nod to the upcoming holiday with treats including the 'solid creamy milk chocolate' and the 'You're Appealing' or '[Love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anoeses-love-letter) Struck' candies. The Love Struck chocolate is designed in the shape of a Cupid's arrow piercing through a red heart -- it has a personified face with raised eyebrows. Other details include the 'phallic' appearance. The You're Appealing chocolate is a delicious layer of chocolate that is shaped like a winking banana. It is filled with butterscotch biscuit pieces for a textural crunch. Notably, the brand is no stranger to suggestive treats.
