The feast of Saint Valentine, or commonly just known as Valentine’s Day is a day where we celebrate romantic friendship and admiration, meaning that we give love to the people we love the most.
The students at Osbourn High School celebrate by giving lots love to someone we love. We also celebrate this day by giving little candies and treats for the people we have admired or loved. The students also bring gifts and little treats for each other.
But have you ever know what is the best candy on Valentine’s Day? A majority said that chocolate is the best since it is a popular option because it comes in various shapes and various flavors. Chocolate is the most simple option since they’re many candy brands that make it.
Freshmen Rosa Brizuela said “The best is chocolate because I just really like chocolate and they also come in heart shaped boxes which is great for this day.”
Some other students may not like chocolate and will prefer other candies that suit them well on Valentine’s Day. “The best candy on Valentine’s day is Nerd’s Gummy Clusters because they taste amazing,” said sophomore Wally Gwyn.
A few students have a favorite candy and they think it’s the best in their own opinions. “My favorite is Sour Patch Kids because despite the name they aren’t really sour and are still fairly sweet,” said senior Jacqueline Ngo.
If students decide they don’t want all of the candies and treats they got, they give and share most to their friends and some to family. Senior James Miller said “I usually just get them for my girlfriend honestly. I don’t get too much for anyone else to be honest.”
Sophomore Stella Bittinger said “I do buy Valentine’s treats for some of my friends, but I usually like to have a little for me. I feel like it’s okay to treat yourself sometimes.”
Freshmen Rosa Brizuela said “My favorite is Starburst because they come in a lot of flavors and I think they’re a good candy to give out.”
Students have a special traditions on Valentine’s day whether if its appreciating your friends with love or loving your family. “The best part about Valentine’s day for me is spending time with the people I love like family or your close friends,” said sophomore Stella Bittinger.
The students here like to plan special things and take them out to places. “I like putting something together nice things for my girlfriend and to make sure she has a good day. Then, we go out to eat.”
At Osbourn, The students care about each other and they always treat their peers with respect. As senior Jacqueline Ngo said “Seeing others express love for those they care about would be the best thing about Valentine’s day for me.” Loving your family and friends is always and important reason why we have Valentine’s day and why we celebrate.
In conclusion, chocolate is the best Valentine’s Day candy, according to students at Osbourn. They also shared their favorite candies and was asked if they shared the candies. Lastly, they shared what does Valentine’s day mean to them. Valentine’s day at Osbourn is very special, especially when students care about each other and love their family friends.

I think the best candy is KitKat. Truly the way to anyone’s heart with its chocolate goodness.

Hands down those chocolates with the various nuts in them are soooo good. I also like gummy heart themed candies, or the lolipops.

I don’t eat a lot of candy but I agree that chocolate is the best candy!

I don’t eat candy a lot, but I do like chocolate and sweethearts, although if I eat too many sweethearts, I start to feel very sick. It’s a good candy but it gets very old fast.

I also agree that chocolate is the best candy for valentines day because it sort of has a romantic connotation in a way. But all the other candies mentioned like sour patch kids and nerds gummy cluster are great too! But not starburst. ew.

I agree with what you said cause i feel like starbursts are the more simple one and it has a weird sweet flavor.

I believe the best candies this time around are Sweetarts, Starburst, or the Ghirardelli Valentine’s Day chocolate collection.

I personally agree with Jacqueline on Sour Patch Kids. I absolutely love Sour Patch Kids than any other candy out there! I definitely treat myself with treats and even my family! I like to give candy to my family once Valentine’s day rolls around. Good article!
