If you’re still chugging along on a New Year’s-inspired diet, today is the day to splurge a little and have some candy. It is Valentine’s Day after all, and even if you don’t have a significant other to give you cards and flowers (or if you’re not into the whole Valentine’s Day thing), everyone can use a little sugar pick-me-up every now and then. Plus your kids will probably appreciate if you share some sweets with them, too.
Sweethearts Conversation Hearts from NECCO have been around since 1866, but they aren’t just the standard flavors anymore. Now you can find Sweethearts Smoothies, Tarts and Chocolate Sweethearts varieties to mix up your Valentine’s treats. The Smoothies feature blueberry, banana caramel, tropical, peach and strawberry crème flavors and were a big hit in our office. The Tarts include the original Sweethearts flavors, just extra sour, and the Chocolate Sweethearts are all a sweet chocolate. Each variety also includes some new weather-inspired sayings, such as “In A Fog,” “Melt My Heart,” “Heat Wave” and “Cloud Nine.” The company also offers Sweethearts Cinnamon Imperial Hearts for those who like a little heat with their sweet and Sweethearts Real Chocolate Expressions for kids and parents who prefer their Valentine’s sayings in milk chocolate.
Pricing on Sweethearts product varies by size and retailer. For more information on all of NECCO’s candy products, visit www.necco.com.
