VALENTINE'S DAY FUN

Sweet tooth or tickle in your throat?

Sweethearts are conversation heart candies that have been a part of Valentine's Day celebrations since the late 1800s. Originally produced as lozenges, these candies have been imprinted with various affectionate messages. Despite a temporary production hiatus in 2018, Sweethearts remain a popular Valentine's Day treat. In 2019, over 8 billion Sweethearts were produced, making them one of the most widely produced candies. Some vintage packaging and messages are highly sought after by collectors. Sweethearts offer a fun way to express love and affection on Valentine's Day.
