How Valentine's Day Candy Came to Be

It's no secret that chocolate/candy and Valentine's Day go hand in hand and have for a while. This started when Cadbury decided to sell their chocolates in heart-shaped boxes in 1861 and when the brother of Oliver Chase (creator of the first automatic lozenge cutting machine and Necco wafers) figured out a method of pressing words into these candy lozenges. It’s also said that Daniel Chase was inspire by cockles. However, the conversation candies didn’t become heart-shaped until 1902.

Now, stores will have their Valentine’s themed candy on display even a month out from the holiday. Which is a good thing for couples and singles alike because who doesn’t love a heart-shaped sweet treat?

So, here’s a gift guide of all the yummy candies and chocolates that would make a great gift and some that would be the perfect party favor.
