Do you remember your Valentine’s Day party at school?  Ah, the joys of exchanging Valentine’s Day cards with your classmates. The swapping of assorted chocolates. And, of course, the classic of all classics…

…the conversation hearts! You know, those little candy hearts with the cute little sayings?  Well, for the first time since their debut in 1866, Necco will NOT be selling any new ones this year. That’s because last July, Necco closed its doors, and the SweetHearts brand was sold to a company named Spangler Candy Company.  Now, if you happen to see some on your store shelves, know this, they’re not very fresh. These candies were made in July!! (insert broken heart here)

Whoa! Just chill, If you’re headed for a heartbreak, take a deep breath, sweetheart. They will be back in full production in 2020!
