Sweethearts Are Back
Sweethearts are back for 2020!
Did you miss them last year? Remember what happened?
Sweethearts’ original producer, New England Confectionary Company, went out of business in 2018. Round Hill Investments, which bought Twinkie-maker Hostess while it was in bankruptcy proceedings, purchased the bankrupt candy maker at auction but sold its Necco wafer brand and Sweethearts to Spangler Candy several months later. Spangler’s best-known candy is its Dum Dum lollipops.
Because the candy company acquired the brands in the fall of 2018, it was unable to produce Sweethearts in time for Valentine’s Day just a few months later even though it was the most popular candy for the holiday in 2018.

I am one of "those people" who can eat handfuls of these things. Just like with TUMS, the chalky taste (and aftertaste) does not bother me.
Did I miss them last year? Can't really say that I did.
Will I buy a bag this year? Likely..... highly likely.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
