National Creme-Filled Chocolates Day People will spend about $1.6 billion on candy this Valentine's Day, including on those heart-shaped boxes of assorted chocolate. Its only fitting then that February 14 also happens to be National Cream-Filled Chocolates Day!Many candy companies now make chocolates filled with all sorts of different flavored creams: coconut, strawberry, hazelnut, blueberry. (You know what they say "Life is like a box of chocolates..."
So, take a moment today to celebrate this treat yourself - no matter your relationship status. http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2013/02/14/national-cream-filled-chocolates-day/
