Texans' way of buying candy for Valentine's Day has changed over the years.

Unfortunately, more often than not, people ended up with the nasty orange cream filling. As time passed, candy companies realized the potential revenue they could generate from Valentine's Day and began to package their candies in heart-shaped boxes.

Even though Hershey's Kisses was at the top, Texas has other favorites.  Coming in at #2 is the heart-shaped box of chocolates, followed by the conversation hearts at #3
