February - Love is in the air!

Julie Schultz

It's a new month and a new holiday is just around the corner. Here at Costas our busy season starts in October & continues through May because of all the big candy holidays. Christmas starts our year and the next holiday is Valentine's Day.


So how does this holiday look compared to the previous or the next holiday?

Valentine's Day is a last-minute shopper holiday. While we prepare for a month making lots of candy, packing boxes, getting our wholesale locations restocked, and making social media posts reminding people the day is coming, the majority of our customers are here purchasing their gifts in a very intense, but fun 3 days.


What special candy is at Costas for Valentine's Day?

We have hearts, hearts & more hearts! 4 varieties of solid chocolate hearts are made at Costas: milk, dark, crispy milk & crispy dark. We also have chocolate heart pops in milk, dark or white chocolate.

We brought back our Cinnamon Caramels! These were a big hit the last time we made them. If you didn't get to try them at Christmas, you need to. Cinnamon is mixed in while making our world-famous melt in your mouth caramels & the result is heavenly.

We also decided to make our new Cheesecake line of truffles again. These were first made last year as a Mother's Day treat. We know a lot of moms and grandmas were treated to these in May and found them divine. We made 5 varieties that all have a white chocolate middle, dark chocolate outside: mint cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake, seasalt caramel cheesecake and turtle cheesecake, along with our standard cheesecake. Let us know which one is your favorite. Available in these perfect 5-piece boxes, or you can choose your flavors to fill a box or a bag.

And the seasonal favorite: Chocolate covered Strawberries. These are only available Feb 13 & 14. We make them fresh both mornings and we will sell out. So, call 507-451-9050 or email: info@costascandies.com to reserve your box, or take a chance and come in with the rest of the Valentine's shoppers on Feb 13 or 14.



We have all of our traditional Costas candies of course! We always try our best to not run out of anyone's favorites for their sweethearts. Candy can be packaged in our classic Costas Box, or we have Valentine boxes available for the season. Our heart shaped box is also a part of the season, with some of our customers receiving this for 40 or 50 years now!
