February 14th is also St Valentine's Day, so it's only appropriate that today be a day that celebrates a type of chocolate.
The rather vague name of cream-filled chocolate covers a wide variety of, usually fairly similar, individual chocolates that can be found in assortment boxes of the type that are common today.
These are an inner cream centre with an outer chocolate covering. The chocolate can be of any type - milk, bittersweet or white - and so can the centre. The cream, or fondant, filling can be flavoured in many different ways. Fruit flavourings, such as orange and strawberry, are popular, but there are other types.
It can also be taken rather more literally, as a chocolate filled with cream, but this is much rarer, and would be more fragile and much quicker to go off, the type of chocolate that would need eating fresh or keeping refrigerated.
