Roses or chocolate?
Can't decide between the traditional Valentine's Day choices? Shane Confectionery put this age-old debate to bed with a clever new offering: rose-flavored bonbons. On the inside, expect dark chocolate ganache flavored with rosewater; on the outside, a dark-chocolate shell painted gold with edible luster dust and decorated with dried rose petals.
