New items spotted in stores reportedly include Filled Heart Madeleines; Matcha & Chocolate Sandwich Cookies; Turkey, Pesto, & Swiss Cheese Pockets; Meatball Panino Italian-style rolls; Chinese BBQ-Style Beef Short Ribs; kimchi pancakes and a Valentine’s Day–themed version of the Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake.
