How many calories are in your Valentines day treat?!

Valentine’s Day is here! Many people show their love with a sweet treat. Before you devour a box of chocolates, you may want to know how many calories, and how many grams of fat and sugar you’re about to consume.

Hershey's Kisses Well, who doesn’t like to get kisses on Valentine’s Day? If you prefer the chocolate candy kind, you can find these little treats from Hershey’s wrapped in pink and red, with all sorts of flavor variations now. You should be able to find anything to suit your valentine’s taste. But if you’re keeping track, a serving is 9 pieces, and with that comes 200 calories, 12 grams of fat, and 23 grams of sugar.
Conversation hearts Those cute little hearts with words like Be Mine are a sweet way to tell your valentine how you feel. If you’re watching calories and fat, it’s one of the friendliest treats you can have. A box (.88 ounces), which contains about 25 hearts, has 100 calories and 0 grams of fat. The only downfall here is the 22 grams of sugar.
Reese’s hearts If your lover is a little more complex, they may be a chocolate and peanut butter fan. Because, you know, sometimes two things which are pretty good on their own are even better together. A serving of Reese’s peanut butter hearts is 5 pieces, and with that you get 210 calories, 13 grams of fat, and 22 grams of sugar.
M & Ms Like the Hershey’s Kiss, you can find M & Ms in a variety of flavors. If your valentine likes to keep things simple, a 1.5 ounce serving (about 1/4 of a cup) of plain M & Ms, has 210 calories, 9 grams of fat, and 27 grams of sugar.
Dove dark chocolate hearts Studies show that dark chocolate, in moderation, can be good for your health.  So if your sweetie craves the dark, you may want to know that a serving of Dove dark chocolate hearts is 6 pieces, and contains 220 calories, 14 grams of fat, and 19 grams of sugar.
Dove milk chocolate hearts Got milk? If your other half prefers milk chocolate, the serving is still 6 hearts and 220 calories, but with 13 grams of fat and 23 grams of sugar.
Dark chocolate covered cherries Just plain chocolates won’t do it for your darling. This is actually one of the better choices in terms of fat and calories. A serving of dark chocolate covered cherries is 3 pieces, and contains 160 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 20 grams of sugar.
Ferrero Roche chocolates Maybe your significant other is a little bit, well, nuts? But that’s probably why you love them so much. These little chocolate and hazelnut confections can be addictive. And compared to some of the other choices, the sugar is not so bad. A serving of Ferrero Roche chocolates is 4 pieces, and has 240 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 16 grams of sugar.
Lindor chocolates Your valentine has a taste for the finer things in life. No cheap drug store candy box for them. The Boise Healthy Living Examiner is not ashamed to admit that if she’s going to indulge in chocolates, Lindor is at the top of her wish list. A serving of 3 chocolate balls has 220 calories, 17 grams of fat, and 19 grams of sugar.
It’s a holiday. There’s no reason to make a tofu cake with carob icing, unless you’re really into that, of course. But if you want to indulge a little, now you know what you’re dealing with. Happy Valentine’s Day.
