For some people, Valentine’s Day is a day of showing your love significant others and loved ones. For others, it is a day of enjoying being single. For me, it is about appreciating all the candy that is only available during this season. I love candy year round, but I especially love themed candy. Valentine’s Day always has candy that is both adorable and delicious that you can enjoy alone or with a loved one.

Strawberries & Cream White Chocolate Truffles
I love chocolate, but I have never been a fan of fruit flavored chocolate. When I tried these Lindt Lindor truffles, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy them, let alone for them to become one of my favorite chocolates. The strawberry flavor is not over powering, but just enough to enhance the smooth white chocolate in the center. The pretty pastel pink packaging is an added aesthetic bonus to this sweet treat.
Conversation Hearts
Whether you love them or you hate them, these are a staple of Valentine’s Day. The sayings printed on the hearts like “Be Mine,” “Hug Me,” and “Call Me” may be cliché, but Valentine’s Day is not complete without at least one box of them.

Ghirardelli White Chocolate Valentine’s Squares
Ghirardelli always makes delicious seasonal candy, from winter peppermint bark to chocolate Easter eggs. The Valentine’s Day chocolates are particularly adorable with a white chocolate heart centered in milk chocolate. The hearts each have cute sayings like “XOXO” and “be mine.”
M&M’s
You can always count on M&M’s for delightful candy coated chocolate, but it is made even better with the cute pastel pinks, whites, and reds associated with Valentine’s Day.
Chocolate Roses
Real flowers are pretty and thoughtful, but they are only used for decoration and die fairly quickly. A bouquet of chocolate roses can not only serve a similar decorative purpose, but they also taste delicious.
