"Sweets to the sweet" is one of many classic expressions we quote from the works of Shakespeare, but how did the tradition of Valentine's Day candy begin? In the 1840s, Richard Cadbury of the famed British chocolate-making family came up with the idea of packing candy in heart-shaped boxes that could be used later to hold keepsakes.

How will you treat your special someone this Valentine's Day? Our real estate agents all have a sweet tooth, and they're sharing their favorite places to find the best goodies in and around Excelsior.
