Chocolate Truffles: The Fancy FavoriteRich, creamy, and oh-so-decadent, chocolate truffles are the VIPs of Valentine’s treats. With flavors like dark chocolate ganache, caramel swirls, and even champagne-infused delights, they’re the perfect way to say “I love you” (or just “I love chocolate”). Haha!
Heart-Shaped Boxed Chocolates: The Mystery PickLike Forrest Gump said, "Mama always said Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get"-and that’s half the fun! These iconic boxes of assorted chocolates turn every bite into an adventure—will it be caramel, nougat, or surprise peanut butter? Only one way to find out!
Conversation Hearts: The Sweet TalkersThese little pastel cuties have been dropping one-liners since the 1800s! With messages like “Be Mine” and “Hug Me,” they make for the perfect playful treat. Love ‘em or leave ‘em, conversation hearts are a Valentine’s Day staple.
Chocolate-Covered Fruit: The Fancy Yet Simple TreatFresh strawberries dipped in rich, velvety chocolate? Yes, please! These beauties are a romantic classic, whether store-bought or homemade with love. Did you know most fruit is better dipped in decadent chocolate? Bonus points if you drizzle them with white chocolate!
Gummy Candy: The Fruity Fun ChoiceNot a chocolate fan? No problem! Gummy candies are chewy, juicy, and bursting with various fruit flavors. So easy to eat- they’re the perfect poppable treat to enjoy all day long.
Red Velvet Cupcakes: The Lovable Dessert Disguised as a CandyOkay, so they’re technically not candy, but who’s complaining? Red velvet cupcakes with silky cream cheese frosting are basically love in edible form. Plus, they add a little extra flair to any Valentine’s Day dessert spread.
Chocolate Roses: The Best of Both WorldsFlowers? Good. Chocolate? Even better. Chocolate roses combine the best of both Valentine’s gifts into one sweet, edible bouquet. They’re almost too pretty to eat… almost.
