History

Cream-filled chocolates appeared in 1912. It was during this time that Belgian chocolatiers came up with the idea of stuffing chocolates with cream. Soon, confectioners went even further and began creating sweets with a wide variety of fillings such as fruit, nougat, and praline. This holiday appeared relatively recently, with experts suggesting it was invented by the owners of confectionery stores to increase demand for expensive handmade chocolates.

Interesting facts

• The first chocolate candies with filling were made by hand, only later did mass production begin.
• Initially, sweets were wrapped only in paper, but later metal silver foil was used for this purpose.
• The first candy wrappers were real works of art, decorated with landscapes, portraits, and scenes from fairy tales. Outstanding artists worked on the sketches of the wrappers.
