Take Chocolate Covered February, for instance. Did you know that such a thing even existed? Chocolate Covered February is a HUGE deal in Hershey, PA! It's a great opportunity for a weekend getaway, couples retreat, Moms Weekend, or girlfriend trip. The entire month of February is filled with chocolate themed adventures!
