The Best Valentine's Day Candy for Each Zodiac Sign
Red and pink bouquets, adorable stuffed plushies, and heart-shaped everything on store shelves can only mean one thing: Valentine’s Day is coming! Whether you’re looking forward to a romantic date night with your partner, chilling by yourself, or hanging out with friends, you’ll want something sweet to snack on. Make choosing which goodies to get even easier when you find the perfect Valentine’s Day candy for your zodiac sign.
From sweet and sour candies to classic chocolates, different star signs have different tastes. Figure out your perfect candy match, and which treats your friends will love most when you discover each zodiac sign’s sweet preference.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Nerds Valentine’s Gummy Clusters
Aries is constantly on the go. With little time to think of romance, you need a convenient Valentine’s Day treat, and crunchy candy attached to a chewy gummy center gives you a sweet bite you can eat almost anywhere. “Nerds Valentine’s Gummy Clusters get bonus points for reminding Aries of their favorite childhood candies — they love an excuse to feel like a kid again,” says professional astrologer Erin River Sunday.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Dove Promises Milk Chocolate Hearts
Ruled by Venus, the planet of partnerships and romance, Taurus is all about love and sweetness. “They’ll appreciate the sweet affirmations included inside the wrappers of these classic treats,” Sunday explains. Plus, Dove Promises Milk Chocolate Hearts are individually wrapped, which makes them easy to share. “They’ll be happy to have them sitting out in a nice bowl to share with loved ones,” she says.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Starburst Conversation Hearts
If there’s one way to get to a Gemini’s heart, it’s through conversation — and Geminis will appreciate that Starburst’s version of this Valentine’s classic is so playful. The chatty sign will love breaking the ice with Starburst Conversation Hearts. “Ever the lover of a fun game, Geminis will quickly charm their way through any Valentine’s Day party with these sweet treats as their tool,” Sunday shares.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): York Peppermint Patties Hearts
There’s something comforting about the way York Dark Chocolate-Covered Peppermint Patties Hearts melt in your mouth. Sentimental Cancers long for warmth and tenderness, and will appreciate the refreshing flavor — especially after a home-cooked meal. “The nostalgia of these treats alone might make a Cancer tear up,” Sunday explains.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Snak Club Valentine’s Tajin Heart Gummies
Leo is known to bring the heat — especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Snak Club’s Tajin Heart Gummies fit this fire sign’s bold energy without skipping the sweetness. “This is the perfect treat for Leo to bring a little drama to the Valentine’s Day scene,” Sunday says.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Sweethearts
Classic and thoughtful are just a couple of ways you can describe Sweethearts (aka the “it girl” of Valentine’s Day candy). It also perfectly encapsulates Virgo’s vibe, who will appreciate the candy’s charming phrases. “Bonus points for them not being as sweet as other candies,” Sunday says.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Hershey’s Pink Cookies ‘n’ Creme Hearts
Libras know a thing or two about romance, and Sunday says Valentine’s Day was practically designed for the Venus-ruled, relationship-oriented sign. “Hershey’s Pink Cookies ‘n’ Creme Hearts are just as adorable as a Libra in love,” Sunday says.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Haribo Sweet & Sour Hearts
Scorpios are known for being equal parts sensual and secretive, and it takes a lot to get to the sweet center of one. “If you’re on Scorpio’s good side, they will love you deeply and completely. But should you dare to ever cross them, they might sour on you permanently,” Sunday shares. For that reason, Haribo Sweet & Sour Hearts encapsulate the scorpion’s daring vibe.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Charms Valentine Pops
Sagittarius is always exploring, so you pair well with a treat you can take along with you on your adventurous rendezvous — making Charms Valentine Pops the perfect sweet to have in your back pocket. “Don’t be surprised if the whole bag of these suckers disappears while they’re regaling friends with their funniest forays in love,” Sunday quips.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Kit Kat Miniatures Valentine Candy Gift Box
Capricorn is practical when it comes to matters of the heart. You’re not one for grandiose displays of affection, but you can appreciate a classic heart-shaped box of chocolates — it gets the point across without being too showy. “Love for a Capricorn means serious business, and the Kit Kat Miniatures Wafer Valentine Candy Gift Box is both a heartfelt and structured way to display their affections,” Sunday explains.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Sour Patch Kids Hearts
Aquarius is unconventional and not the most traditionally romantic sign. So you’ll appreciate Sour Patch Hearts’ Valentine’s Day twist on the sour-then-sweet candy — which can totally describe what it feels like winning over this air sign’s heart. “Not to mention, this candy is the ultimate crowd-pleaser — something Aquarius knows how to do well,” Sunday says.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Fun Dip Valentine Candy
Pisces is a sign that lives in daydreams and all things romantic. You love to get playful — especially when it comes to the holiday dedicated to love. Fun Dip Valentine Candy is the perfect sweet to satisfy Pisces’ craving. “Fun Dip Valentine Candy might seem like a strange choice to some, but the fantastical colors alone are enough to make a sweet Pisces giddy,” Sunday shares.
