My Favorite Valentine’s Day Candy

Welcome back, everyone! I have been walking around many stores lately, and have been noticing that Valentine’s Day items are back in stock! I always am excited around this time of year to see of all the assortments of candy and flowers bursting with colors of red, pink, and white. Although, Valentine’s Day is often viewed as a holiday solely around romantic partners, but this isn’t the only people that can celebrate. With this being said, I wanted to share some of my favorite candies for the month of February that I like to indulge in.

Number 3: Valentine Nerd Gummy Clusters

Although, this candy is offered in many varieties all year-round, I have grown to love this candy. If you are looking for a sweet treat with a bit of a sour bite, this is a great candy for you! The packaging is also very attractive, which is just one of my favorite components of this candy.

Number 2: Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Hearts

In recent years, I have really grown to like dark chocolate. I believe that this treat offers the right balance of sweetness to where it satisfies your sugar craving. Also, Ghirardelli is one of my favorite candy brands to grab if I am looking for a delectable chocolate. I definitely recommend these!

Number 1: Starburst Jelly Beans

Now, for my grand finale…my number 1 choice is the Starburst Jelly Beans. Typically, you may find these jelly beans around Easter time, but they have migrated to selling them during Valentine’s Day too. I also love them because they are a great combination of both the Starburst flavor and the jelly bean treat. They also come in the heart shapes, which allows you to truly enjoy this February holiday!

Thank you for reading this article! If you are looking for more Valentine’s Day content, please stay tuned to our Her Campus page. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!!
