No Conversation Hearts this Valentine’s Day?!
Written by Ballzer on January 24, 2019
There won’t be new conversation hearts this year! Sweethearts were the most popular valentine candy last year. NECCO, the New England Confectionery Co., had made Sweetheart brand hearts and Necco wafers for decades but filed for bankruptcy last year. The good news is that Spangler Candy Co., best known for making Dum Dums, has stepped up and purchased the brand so they will be back… just not til 2020. You can also buy boxes online, but they’re from last year, or you can grab the even chalkier generic versions.
