So I have a chocolate allergy so I actually can't eat many candies that my friends enjoy. I actually have a ton of chocolate at home because I'm also too shy to tell people I can't eat the chocolate when they give it to me. (My parents are totally okay with that though. they love chocolate.) As a result, my favorite candies are fairly… unpopular but also somewhat popular. Take notes boys, if you want to get me a gift on Valentine's Day, here's the candies to go for:

Twizzlers. I swear this is like my kryptonite and I will do anything for this red licorice treat. For whatever reason only one movie theater in my area actually sells these (most sell red vines instead which are disgusting). But either way I always sneak these things into the movies because they're so good! They're so sweet and chewey and delicious!

Smarties. I've loved these since I was a kid and I can't tell you why other than they're sweet and a great hard candy that can be made soft by sucking on them.

Dum-Dums. They're lollipops or suckers for those who aren't aware. I don't like all the flavors but the bubble gum and blue raspberry flavors are the best. My teachers who know of my allergy always go out of there way to get me these so they're really special to me.

Candy corn. I may have a problem with these since my parents always get the jumbo bags before Halloween and I usually consume an entire bag by myself in a week. And the pumpkin shaped ones always disappear from one of my mom's coworker's desk.

TAFFY. There's a taffy shop near my mom's work and this is another one of those candies that I might have a problem because I consume bags of these way faster than I probably should. Vanilla and cherry taffy flavors are the best.
