It’s Fun Fact Friday! During the Victorian Era, Chocolate was all the rage among the Upper class and John Cadbury was a major supplier in Birmingham, England. In 1861 John’s sons Richard & George joined the company bringing innovations to the company.

Richard came up with the idea of selling their “Fancy Chocolates” better known today as “Assortments” in decorated boxes.
During this era fancy boxes were often saved and used to store small items, such as buttons.
This year, if you receive a heart shaped box of Chocolate for Valentine’s day, take time to reflect on the Legacy that Cadbury’s fancy little boxes forever left on boxed chocolates. Until next Friday – Have a sweet week.
