Valentine’s Day is the second best candy holiday, or third depending where you rank Easter. Either way, you can’t pass up the sweets on V-day whether you’re enjoying them with your S.O., your gals or just by yourself! Below is a collection of HC Pitt’s favorite Valentine’s Day candy (in no particular order) to get you in the candy eating mood. 

Conversation Hearts

I must start off with the classic conversation hearts. When thinking of Valentine’s Day candy, these crunchy, sweet love hearts are definitely my first thought.

“They’re so cute and classic.” – Claire U

Dove Chocolate 

If you need a sweet reminder of how excellent you are, look no further than Dove chocolates. Who needs a Valentine when you have chocolate to tell you you’re perfect?

“Honestly the Dove chocolates that have little affirmations in them are a V-day fav!” – Keely L

Tone down the sweetness (more like add some bitterness), and you’ll get dark chocolate. The perfect choice for those who don’t have a major sweet tooth as recommended by HC Pitt member Eva A who is “in love with dark chocolate.”

Wonka Candy

I can’t forget to mention some of my favorites growing up, the candy from the wild world of Wonka. We all know the excitement of receiving all the fun candy like Fun Dip, Nerds and Laffy Taffy in our elementary school Valentine’s Day box.

“Little Erin loved pink nerds, fun dip and lollipops.” – Erin L

Ferrero Rocher 

Ferreror Chocolates, mentioned by HC Pitt’s member Nicole A, are always a solid go to. They make the perfect V-day gift for any chocolate lover.
