It's hard to imagine Valentine's Day without chocolate, and that association can be traced to a name that is very familiar to people who enjoy sweets on February 14. According to History.com, Richard Cadbury utilized advancements at his family's chocolate factory in England to produce new varieties of what was then known as "eating chocolate." Cadbury then began marketing eating chocolates in decorative boxes, and while History.com notes he never patented the heart-shaped box, it's widely believed Cadbury was the first to create one.
