I love candy as much as the next person, but for a candy centered holiday, most valentine candy is awful. So to let you know what you should and shouldn't buy now that it's all on sale, I'm going to rank them from the absolute worst to the absolute best.
SWEETHEART CANDY
There’s no way people actually like this. It tastes like a bad version of a Sweet Tart candy. Sure they’re cute, and they’re a Valentine’s Day staple candy, but they just are not good. 0/10
HEART-SHAPED CHOCOLATES
Now this can go one of two ways: You can get the good kind of chocolate with the good stuff on the inside or you can get the bad kind with the bad filling. At the end of the day, just ask your girlfriend what kind of chocolate she likes. If done right, then 10/10. If done wrong, then 2/10. Overall, I give it a 5/10.
SKITTLES
I don't know if this is just me, but I do not like Skittles. They taste weird and get stuck in your teeth and just aren’t a good candy. 0/10
HERSHEY'S KISSES
I love Hershey's kisses. They're probably my favorite way to eat chocolate. The only downside is how quickly they melt, but other than that, a very good candy. 9/10
FUN DIP
Straight sugar. 10/10
TURTLES
Personally, I hate peanuts and caramel in candy, so this is a 0/10 for me. (I've never had the candy, though.)
RING POPS
Funny diamond-looking candy. 10/10
TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE
Truffle chocolate is another one of my favorite ways to eat chocolate. Even though I hate peanuts, I will forever love this candy. 11/10
HEART-SHAPED LOLLYPOPS
Disgusting. -1/10

In conclusion, the way to make your partner happy during Valentine's Day is to ask them what kind of candy they like! A simple yes or no will always lead to the right answer.
