What’s Your
Favorite Valentine’s Day Treat?
It’s hard to
imagine Valentine’s Day without chocolate and candy. From
heart-shaped boxes of chocolates to little colorful conversation hearts,
Valentine’s Day treats are everywhere this time of year – not that there’s
anything to complain about.
This year,
I’m teaming up with the National Confectioners Association to celebrate this
iconic candy moment. The National Confectioners Association represents more
than 500 of America’s chocolate and candy companies. The folks at the National
Confectioners Association are providing an inside look at some of the most
often-asked questions about Valentine’s Day candy – and I’m excited to share them with you.
For example,
when you open a box of chocolate, how do you pick which piece to eat? Only 50
percent of chocolate lovers use the “map” in a heart-shaped box of chocolates
to find their favorites while 31 percent pick at random. The remainder bites
the corner to determine the chocolate’s filling (13 percent) or pokes at the
bottom of the piece of chocolate (6 percent) to determine its contents.
Plus, do you
know the most popular filling in a box of chocolates? According to 32 percent
of Americans, it’s caramel! It’s no surprise that the other popular fillings
include nuts and chocolate.
Valentine’s Day is about more than just fun facts
about special holiday treats. The National Confectioners Association is
providing extra resources on Valentine’s Day Central for parents looking to encourage a
balanced approach to treating around big candy moments. Valentine’s Day Central
is part of the candy industry’s commitment to helping people manage their sugar
intake by providing consumers with information, options, and support as they
enjoy their favorite treats. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Happy
Valentine’s Day – don’t forget to show our friends at the National
Confectioners Association some Valentine’s Day love by following them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and using the hashtag

Hands down it has to be chocolate. Though I do love a good meal out that I don't have to cook and flowers are nice but it has been forever since I got any!
