I love
It can mean "I want... but here's another important meaning, with a person:
Yo te quiero = I love you.
But not with an object like "candy", it would only mean "I want candy", "yo quiero dulces", but not "I love candy", unless she was "Candy", a girlfriend "Yo quiero a Candy".
One of many ways to say it, Spanish is not a romance language for nothing.
Yo te quiero = I love you.
But not with an object like "candy", it would only mean "I want candy", "yo quiero dulces", but not "I love candy", unless she was "Candy", a girlfriend "Yo quiero a Candy".

Care for, Love, Want.
I think ''Care for'' is the most accurate, though it's not often used in English, so you usually have to decide between ''I want'' (quiero tener, deseo) and ''I love'' (quiero de corazon).
