If you’re craving chocolates of any kind this Valentine’s Day, staff members from RealSimple.com provide the perfect suggestions. Here are their picks for the best chocolates that can be found on the candy stands in the supermarket closest to you.
- Best peanut butter mixture: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Although Peanut M&Ms, peanut butter Twix, Reese’s Pieces, and White Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter cups provide a plethora of peanut butter possibilities, you can’t go wrong with the original texture and flavor of the Reese’s original cups.
- Best milk chocolate: Ghirardelli milk chocolate squares
Staffers chose Ghirardelli because it simply exudes milk-chocolaty goodness while it melts in your mouth. Other milk chocolate contenders include Hershey’s milk chocolate, Nestle’s milk chocolate and Hershey’s Kisses.
- Best chocolate with crisped rice: Nestle Crunch
The delicate crunch in the trademark Nestle bar earned it the top choice for this category. Staffers also considered Snickers Cruncher and Crispy M&Ms.
- Best chocolate cookie bar: Twix
Crispness and texture define a cookie bar, and Twix includes the perfect mixture of crunch and caramel. KitKat and Hershey’s Cookies ‘n Crème provide alternatives.
- Best chocolate with nuts: Hershey’s Kisses with Almonds
Almond M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Snicker’s Almond Bar and Reese’s NutRageous were all contenders for this category, but staffers selected Hershey’s Kisses with Almonds won simply because of its small size and chocolate-almond goodness in every bite.
- Best dark chocolate: Milky Way Midnight
Milky Way Midnight is unique, with a sweet nougat and caramel filling. While Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate squares and Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate are options, some people find them too bitter.
- Best chocolate with caramel: Hershey’s Kisses with Caramel filling
The rich caramel Kisses topped alternatives like Nestle Crunch with Caramel and Twix.
