Sweeten Your Valentine’s Day at This Arizona Chocolate Factory

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or Galentine's Day (or both), February 14th can be a special day. It's the time of year when we show how much we care about or love someone, and that usually involves something sweet. And we have a great recommendation for where to go for a sweet treat in Arizona.

For chocolates, heart-shaped treats, or even a customizable heart-shaped box, make your way to Cerreta Candy Company, a delicious chocolate factory in Arizona. Cerreta Candy Co. is an iconic candy and chocolate factory located in Glendale, Arizona. It was founded over 50 years ago by James Cerreta, Sr., and it's still owned by the Cerreta family today. In fact, four generations of the family have worked here over the decades.

Cerreta Candy Co. celebrates every holiday in the best way possible with seasonal candies and chocolates, all made in its factory. Visit the factory store, and you'll find a variety of gifts for Valentine's Day. From the signature XOXO Chocolate Bars to assorted chocolate gift boxes to a 4-pound Milk Chocolate Valentine's Day Bar, it will make anyone feel special on Valentine's Day.

Cerreta's also makes chocolate roses, perfect to give before a romantic night out. I think it would be sweet to get a dozen of these for your Valentine or buy a few to hand out to your Galentines. What a creative way to show someone you care!

As for the kids in your life, you can buy a DIY Chocolate Heart Kit with everything they would need to decorate their own chocolate heart. What a fun gift to give!

And if you want to bring your special someone or your family to Cerreta Candy Company around Valentine's Day, you can learn how candy is made on a factory tour, and samples will be given out. Tours are given Monday through Friday on the hour between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

To see what Valentine's Day goodies are available or to book a factory tour, head to the Cerreta Candy Co. website, and give the official Facebook page a follow as well. And if you're looking for more romantic things to do in the area, be sure to check out our itinerary planner for recommendations!
