Hannah, our beloved candy blogger, created a Valentine's gift guide with the top candies for each type of Valentine to make it easier for you to buy them the sweetest gift!
For Valentine's Day, people often give flowers and chocolate. While those are great gifts, especially the chocolate, we have some new creative ideas, especially for some foodies. This Valentine's Day, we have both the Kraft Assorted Friendship Exchange Gummies Box and a Kraft Gummy Lunchable Pizza Kit Heart Box. Both of these feature gummies that are extremely delicious and realistic, too. I had to test whether they fit for Valentine's Day. First, I tried all the candies inside the Kraft Assorted Friendship Exchange Gummies box, including Kraft Mac & Cheese gummies, Oscar Mayer Hot Dog gummies, and Claussen Pickle gummies....
Conversation Hearts are a sweet way to express your feelings! Conversation Hearts have long been a beloved Valentine's treat, and we have been offering them for over ninety years in various flavors, shapes, and sizes. As old-school candies go, these deserve a place close to the top of the list! These hard, sugary sweets come in an array of fun colors and usually have an endearing phrase or saying stamped into the hard candy exterior. Although we lament the loss of the original NECCO Conversation Hearts - Necco went bankrupt in 2018 after a 171-year run - the Sweethearts brand...
As the Christmas holiday, seasonal candies are in short supply due to supply chain issues. In addition, a majority of the Valentine Candy pre-ordered did not arrive due to export issues and our holiday offerings are a bit leaner than they were in previous years.
The list above highlights candies in stock as of January 7, 2022. There is a possibility that more items will arrive, and all seasonal candies are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If you have questions or are interested in special orders, please reach out, as we will do our best to help.
For generations, Valentine’s Day has not been complete without at least one box of Conversation Hearts. You know them when you see them. Also known as Sweethearts, they’re the super sweet, heart-shaped treats with phrases like, ‘Be Mine’ and ‘Kiss Me’ emblazoned on the front. A staple of school parties and a beloved addition to candy drawers everywhere, Conversation Hearts have truly been a cornerstone of the sweetest holiday of the year for generations. Unfortunately, all those days spent loving (or loving to hate) Conversation Hearts will soon become just a memory. NECCO, the original manufacturer of Conversation Hearts went...
As Valentine’s Day is a day of love and candy, I decided to do a little research as to why. We all know that the big Hallmark holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day are all about candy, but have you ever thought about why you are stuffing chocolates into your mouth? Ancient Romans were the first ones to start the Valentine’s Day tradition. There were two different Saint Valentines that the holiday was named after. Every year around mid February, the Romans held an enormous festival called Lupercalia. This contained a feast in which the single young adults ate treats,...
Valentine's Day is kind of a polarizing holiday. Young lovers love it, and lonely curmudgeons hate it. And so do a lot of normal people. The legendary stories that inspired the celebration vary widely, and the only really clear thing is that people have been getting romantic once a year for centuries. But a holiday about love in the middle of winter makes sense. Celebrating loved ones might be the best thing to do when you've been stuck inside with them for months. Just imagine what it would be like if you shared a hovel with them. Or a Conestoga...
Juju Hearts are a fun candy for Valentine's Day and may be infused with magical powers... Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 7 Ju Ju Hearts are another great Valentine’s Day candy. Upon seeing the bag of red scrumptious squishy hearts I assumed they would be cinnamon flavored. Though these hearts would probably be better with the cinnamon spice tongue tingler, the cherry flavor that lies within the Ju Ju Heart is far from terrible. It has a similar flavor to the red jolly rancher, but it isn’t too sweet or medicinal tasting, which many cherry...
Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts are a perfect gift for a loved one and the combination of Milk Choclate and Peanut Butter really can't be beat! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 6 Overall: 8 Valentine’s Day Mini Reese’s are adorned in gold and red foils, waiting to be undressed and enjoyed by the peanutbutter-chocolate lover. I offered a bag of chocolates to my friends and all of them reached for the Reese’s cups saying “When you see chocolates always go straight for the one shaped as a Reese’s cup.” Nonpareils are by definition the little color sugar balls...
Whether you prefer Brachs or Necco, one thing that everyone can agree upon is that Valentine's day wouldn't be the same without Conversation Hearts Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2-7 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 10 Overall: 5 The classic Valentines Day candy… these candy hearts are so popular that both The New England Confectionary Company (NECCO) and Brach’s manufacture them, and now they are even made in an enlarged size. The candies themselves are definitely more of a novelty item than a tasty candy. In fact, eating too many can induce side effects of nausea. Even though Brach’s and NECCO both make...
Valentine’s Day has become a commercial phenomenon. Since 1381, when Geoffrey Chaucer first recorded February 14 to be a day of recognition, this day of love has been celebrated around the globe. Its relatively unknown counterpart is Singles Awareness Day (SAD), also known as Black Day. It is a day for singles to celebrate, or un-celebrate, their independence. Just like the Emo psyche is misunderstood and overshadowed by the teen pop idols, Valentine’s Day has outshone Black Day, which is why I am taking if upon myself to list a few gift ideas for the celebrators of this day. Black...
