Sweethearts (candy)

Sweethearts are small heart-shaped sugar candies sold around Valentine's Day. Each heart is printed with a message such as "Be Mine", "Kiss Me", "Call Me", "Let's Get Busy", and "Miss You".

History

Sweethearts were first produced in 1866 by the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO). The original candies included messages that are still popular today.

Production

The production process of Sweethearts begins with making the candy dough, a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavorings. The dough is then rolled thin and stamped with the messages. The candies are then allowed to dry and harden, after which they are packaged and shipped to retailers.

Messages

The messages on Sweethearts have been an important part of the candy's appeal since its creation. Over the years, the sayings have been updated to reflect changes in culture and language.

Popularity

Sweethearts are a popular candy for Valentine's Day, with millions of boxes sold each year. They are often used in school activities and are a common gift between friends and romantic partners.
