PHILADELPHIA – With the season of celebration and giving approaching, Frankford Candy, the leader in the licensed confections and gifts industry and the maker of the original Hot Chocolate Bomb today announced that it is expanding its assortment of hot chocolate bombs to include three new flavors – salted caramel, peppermint and double chocolate.
