Sweethearts




"Love is Timeless and so are Sweethearts"

"Whether you’re 9 or 90, chances are you’ve received NECCO’s Sweethearts for Valentine’s Day. The enormous popularity of Sweethearts has made them America’s favorite Valentine candy.

The concept behind today’s Sweethearts dates back to 1866, when NECCO’s founding family invented a lozenge-printing process and began what has become a treasured part of everyone’s childhood.

Over 100 sayings are imprinted on Sweethearts each year including 8 to 10 new sayings to keep up with the times. There are three different types of Sweethearts – Tiny, Large Motto, and Fluted and they are available in three flavors – assorted regular, assorted tart, and chocolate.

Sweethearts Fun Facts

Since the turn of the Twentieth Century, approximately 250 billion Sweethearts have rolled off the production lines at NECCO. If placed back-to-back Sweethearts would reach one million miles, enough to go back and forth to the moon twice or around the world 40 times.
