Valentine's Day is next weekend and chocolate shops are busy with orders for everything from boxed hearts to hot chocolate cocoa bombs, "the" food sensation of 2020. Then there's the latest chocolate creation: smashing hearts filled with a variety of goodies accompanied by a small mallet.
Often, there are messages either inside or outside to round out the experience, with everything from "XOXO" to "Happy Valentine's Day."
The Cakery in Fishkill has dark chocolate breakable hearts that come with a "Happy Valentine's Day" greeting on the outside. Inside you'll find an assortment of cake balls, brownies and sugar cookies. The Cakery also has a variety of Valentine's Day cocoa bombs in heart-shaped and regular round sizes. Cost is two for $13. Hearts are $36. Order both by Feb. 4 (the earlier you order the better as there are limited supplies).
