What are the most suitable gummy candies for Valentine's Day

I bet the first type of candy that came to your mind is the timeless gummy red hearts.
Wise decision, after all it is right to choose something themed for the occasion but our goal is to create a personalized gift, therefore, we cannot stop there.
Valentine's Day sweets: AAA wanted red candies
A right combination of novelty and tradition is what you need right now, so I recommend you go in search of red candy and sweets.
Red, in any shade, is a symbol of passion and desire: among the tastiest sweets that meet all "our requirements" are gummy candies with berries, cherries and strawberries.
Strawberries, berries and cherries symbolize love in all its nuances in fact:
- cherries: they recall the kiss of two people and are a symbol of passion;
- strawberries: due to their elongated shape they recall a heart and according to the myth they are the tears of the goddess Aphrodite at the news of the death of Adonis;
- berries: this is also a fruit that is the protagonist of many myths and legends that describe it as the native of Mount Ida, a place that was inhabited by Paris and which hosted the beauty contest between Aphrodite, Athena and Hera.
Valentine's Day sweets: a candy for every lifestyle
But what to do if the person next to us is a lover of a healthy lifestyle and is constantly looking for tasty products that do not make them feel guilty?
Also in this case the market comes to meet us with sugar-free candies, vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free candies.
On the other hand, if the loved one is a particularly greedy person, in addition to hearts, strawberries, cherries and gummy berries, you could buy licorice, pralines, gelees, fruit candies and chocolates.
Valentine's Day around the world: here are the trending ideas from America and the UK
Ideas and ideas to "copy" for the day of the feast of lovers also come from America and the United Kingdom, each with different but easily replicable traditions.
In the United States, Valentine's Day is an opportunity to show affection and gratitude not only towards one's partner but also towards family and friends.
Restaurants and flowers are a must to which are added chocolates, candies and tasty snacks such as bars, spreads and baked desserts such as cookies, biscuits and sweets filled with dried fruit.
Sweets, cookies and candies come in beautiful heart-shaped packages, decorated glass jars and boxes of various shapes all with themed decorations and details.
From the United Kingdom comes the famous tradition of personalized heart-shaped cards to give to your Valentine, or the partner or person you are in love with.
On these cards there are no signatures or other details that make the sender easily recognizable and this helps to make the moment even more magical and mysterious.
