Delight your sweetheart with these delectable morsels

Sweet Hearts ($11.99)

As Valentine’s Day on Friday, Feb. 14 rapidly approaches, the sweet treats from Menehune Mac make the perfect gift for your beloved significant other.

“We’ve been hand-making chocolates for over 80 years!” shares Susan Morita, who holds the enviable title of executive chocolate taster for Menehune Mac Candies. Founded in 1939, the Menehune Mac Chocolate Factory and Gift Boutique on Waiakamilo Road produces the highest quality, hand-dipped sweets to always put a smile on the faces of its customers.

Some of the best sellers are Dark Chocolate Arare, Dark Chocolate Cacao Nib Crunch, and Menehune Munch — a furikake snack mix.

Workers create the confections individually by hand, which provides a rich, thick texture and Menehune Mac utilizes 100 percent Hawaiian grown macadamia nuts in its products.

Another creative idea for a thoughtful gift to that special someone is the Love Letter — Keepsake Tin Mailbox ($14.99). This inventive box is filled with sweets like three Lilikoi Sandbars and three assorted handmade chocolates, and a blank card for a romantic love note and whatever else you want to add for a personal touch.

“There’s room to fit bling!,” Morita adds.

For those who are totally passionate about their passion fruit, you can let your partner know how much you care by gifting Lilikoi Sandbars ($23.99). Your Valentine will fall head over heels for these 24 individually wrapped hand-rolled butter shortbread cookies with a splash of fresh lilikoi.
