Which Valentine’s Day Candy Are You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Lukewarm take: I hate Valentine’s Day. I’m down to celebrate love, but why limit it to one corporate holiday? The best part of the day, IMO, is the candy.

Just like a soulmate, the perfect Valentine’s Day candy for you is written in the stars. This year, there’s a plethora of new and unique candy options to celebrate v-day and Galentine’s Day alike, alongside the classics. Luckily, each astrological star sign perfectly aligns with a sweet and festive treat.

Aries: Sweet Hearts

(March 21 – April 19)

As the courageous, confident, and fearless star sign, any Aries will love the somewhat sweet, somewhat sour take on a Valentine’s Day classic.

Taurus: Candy Conversation Hearts

(April 20 – May 20)

Sweet and serene, a Taurus is a perfect match for Candy Conversation Hearts. Impress your Taurus Valentine with the warm nostalgia of a classic holiday candy.

Gemini: Fun Dip

(May 21 – June 20)

Is it even Valentine’s Day without this childhood classic? Geminis are known to be energetic and playful (and a little chaotic), just like Fun Dip.

Cancer: Hershey Kiss

(June 21 – July 22)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Compassionate Cancers would love a classic Hershey Kiss, which is sweet and comforting.

Leo: Red Hots

(July 23 – August 22)

Oh, fiery Leo. Add some spice to your Valentine’s Day with Red Hots — a dramatic and vivacious treat for this confident and passionate astrological sign.

Virgo: Dove Chocolate Hearts

(August 23 – September 22)

It’s safe to say that Dove Chocolate has been more consistent than any Valentine of mine ever. Just like a Virgo, Dove is a logical addition to any Valentine’s Day plan aiming for perfection.

Libra: Reese’s Heart

(September 23 – October 22)

Libras are the epitome of balance and friendly to everyone, which is why a Reese’s Heart is the perfect v-day treat for this star sign. Just like chocolate and peanut butter, Libras strive to exist in perfect harmony with their Valentine.

Scorpio: Jelly Belly Valentine Mix

(October 23 – November 21)

Fierce yet calm, a Scorpio is bound to make an entrance, just like a classic Jelly Belly. With bold flavors and a touch of sweetness, jelly beans are just like a Scorpio on Valentine’s Day.

Sagittarius: Pink Starburst

(November 22 – December 21)

The nostalgic and bright flavor of a Pink Starburst is perfect for adventurous Sag. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with the best of the best: a fun-loving Sagittarius Valentine and all-pink Starbursts.

Capricorn: Cupid’s Mix M&M’s

(December 22 – January 19)

Cupid’s Mix of M&M’s are practical and persevering, just like Capricorn. This classic candy gets a fun twist for Valentine’s Day, and it’s the perfect treat for a steady star sign who appreciates tradition.

Aquarius: Hershey’s Strawberry Chocolate Kisses

(January 20 – February 18)

An Aquarius is always on the hunt for an innovative solution to make the world just a little bit sweeter. Try Hershey’s new Strawberry Chocolate Kiss for a revolutionary take on a v-day classic.

Pisces: Hershey’s Hugs

(February 19 – March 20)

Just like a hug from your Valentine, a Pisces is intuitive and sensitive. And, like a Hershey’s Hug, a Pisces’ empathy and intuition doesn’t come without a little division (except in this case, it’s a white and milk chocolate swirl).
