Cincinnati-based chocolate maker, Maverick Chocolate Company, is making it easier for buyers to enjoy affordable Valentine’s Day treats this year. Despite rising inflation, the company is offering box sets with a variety of chocolates, including heart-shaped truffles.
According to Paul Picton, president and chief chocolate maker, the truffles are a popular gift option due to their visually appealing appearance. Each truffle is made with love and features unique flavors such as bourbon, red wine, and raspberry rose.
Picton attributes the rise in prices of cocoa beans from around the world, which have skyrocketed due to inflation. However, he is ensuring customers have a great experience by offering detailed ribbon arrangements and colorfully arranged chocolate gift sets.
To cater to different price points, Maverick Chocolate Company offers box sets with six or 12 pieces of chocolates, as well as smaller options. Customers rave about the value for money, making it a seasonal favorite.
