Here’s the best Valentine’s Day candy, and we had to include some nostalgic picks, too!
Have the sweetest Valentine’s Day! 💝
With love already in the air, it’s time to showcase that affection with something sweet. Aside from flowers, Valentine’s Day candy is the number one contender for a gifting must-have. Whether it’s for your spouse, kids, or friends, we have tons of choices all ages are going to love.
Many of these picks are from our Hip2Save team members, so you can take our word for how yummy these treats are. Plus, they’d be awesome to make goodie bags with, as many of the choices are individually wrapped and have festive packaging! 😍
Here are our top 14 choices for the best Valentine’s Day candy:
1. Who can resist falling in love with these nostalgic Tiny Conversation Hearts?
Brach’s Valentine’s Tiny Conversation Hearts

Share the sweet sentiment by handing out individually packed boxes of this sugary snack. While it’s certainly not unanimous for people to agree on how tasty they are, they do serve serious nostalgia!
2. Speaking of, Hershey’s released new Valentine’s Conversation Kisses!
It’s not Valentine’s Day unless you celebrate with some Hershey’s Kisses, and this year, they’ve released brand new Conversation Kisses! Each kiss is classically wrapped individually with adorable phrases underneath, which would make for a great snack or even a party favor for any festivities.
3. Reese’s in the shape of hearts taste even better than the regular ones.
Every holiday season, we look forward to the cute shapes Reese’s celebrates with. While the chocolate and peanut butter flavors stay the same, limited edition novelty-shaped Reese’s candies somehow taste so much better! 😄

Something about the Reece’s hearts are just sooooo yummy!!! I also found full size individually wrapped Hershey chocolate bars that have Valentine wrappers. Super cute. I got them for my oldest daughter (tween) to give the her friends. They came in a pack of six for less than $5
I like the Reese’s Hearts too!😋 Thanks for sharing your find with us! 💞
JELLY BELLY has gummy valentine lips and red raspberry gummy hearts at target. so yummy!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Patti! I’ll have to look for those! 💖
Juju Hearts! But love a good Dove chocolate. Conversation hearts are just disgusting but a classic.
My daughter LOVES Dove chocolate. I have enjoyed it too! Thanks for sharing your favorites and not so favorite candies! ❤️
My daughter will love the strawberry and creme truffles! I’ll definitely look for those!
I’m hoping to find those too, Kate! Hope you spot them! 🤞❤️
Nice try, Hip2Save. We all know the best Valentines Day candy is that which you bought marked down after Christmas. Heart shaped or half off, I know what I’m choosing!
*just to be clear I’m joking – these are really cute and I will probably get my kids heart shaped candy after stocking up on discount Christmas chocolates for myself. Both are good 🙂
LOL! Yes! Clearance candy tastes SO much better, Melie! 😆🙌 Thanks for the fun comment. I agree, both are great! 😉
I found Friends themed Conversation Hearts at a Fry’s / Kroger!
Woohoo! Thanks for letting us know where you spotted those, Sara! 💞🙌
Those are some great ones! My new fave is Chewy Red Hots which are heart shaped this time of year. Kind of hard to find, but some Walmarts have them.
YES! I’ve had those before. I agree, super yummy. 😋 Thanks for letting us know which one you like to grab! 💞🤗
Do you guys think there is any hope of Valentine candy/treat deals this year? I teach high school and Valentine’s Day is a sucky day for a lot of kids that don’t have boyfriend/girlfriends and I always like to make my students treats or goodie bags to make them feel special/loved. Problem is that my classes are HUGE this year and I have close to 150 students. With prices like they are and my own 3 children with class parties it’s just not in my budget 😔 Any ideas are welcome!! Thanks!!
Hey Angela! So sweet of you to put together goodie bags for your students each year! I’m sure that it is much appreciated by them! ❤️ You can check out this page – all of our Valentine’s deals get posted there! You might also bookmark it, and check back often, to see if any new deals have popped up that are cost-effective for your needs! Hoping this helps! 💕
