​BUFFALO, N.Y. — ​Nothing melts your special someone’s heart like chocolate. From chocolate hearts to sponge candy, Fowler’s Chocolates in Buffalo has you covered.

At Fowler’s, crews start early making sponge candy and other assorted chocolates in what they call the candy kitchen.

Valentine’s Day joins Easter and Christmas as part of the biggest three chocolate holidays of the year.

This particular factory has been here since 1994.

On the retail side, plenty of heart-related sweets for your sweet, including bite sized puffy hearts and foiled hearts, not to mention chocolate-covered pretzels and other non-chocolate candy.

Owner and President Ted Marks says candy lovers have been enjoying the sweet taste of chocolate for centuries.

“It just has that allure it has a certain romance associated with it you know, it’s a food that’s been around since the 1500’s in one form or another, but solid chocolate was really sort of a 1900’s late 1800’s kind of thing,” Marks said.

And if you can’t make it out here to the Buffalo location, there are four others in Hamburg, Tonawanda, East Aurora and Cheektowaga.

You still have plenty of time to pick up that treat for your sweet, so there’s no need to panic.
