BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Twenty different stores in downtown Bethlehem teamed up to make this Valentine’s Day a little sweeter.<\/p>\n
They each created a unique treat for this year’s Chocolate Trail, and the event was so popular it completely sold out. There were chocolate truffles, chocolate bars, and even chocolate drinks at Bitty & Beau’s.<\/p>\n
“We just had raspberry white hot chocolate. It was delicious,” said Barbie Brensinger, who was celebrating her first Valentines Day with her new husband, Anthony Yost.<\/p>\n
“People have been coming, and we’ve had lines to the door since they started at noon,” said Bitty & Beau’s owner Kathi Eichman.<\/p>\n
Eichman said they came up with a hot and an iced version of their chocolate drink to please the sold out crowd.<\/p>\n
“People love to stop in. They get to see what we’re all about here at Bitty & Beau’s, and they get to experience the environment here,” said Eichman.<\/p>\n
Over at Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, they were offering customers something a little more solid.<\/p>\n
“We are handing out chocolate-covered graham crackers,” said Asst. Manager Haley Suloman.<\/p>\n
Randall Taylor and his friends came by to get a taste for the 10th year in a row. He said it’s not just about the chocolate.<\/p>\n
“Meeting all the people along the trail here, it’s always a blast, and all the local business owners that welcome us into their shops, we love it,” said Taylor.<\/p>\n
Love and chocolate, the perfect combo for the holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Twenty different stores in downtown Bethlehem teamed up to make this Valentine’s Day a little…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,153,155,154,1391],"class_list":["post-114365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-bethlehem-area"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
