Here’s good news and bad news. The good news is Spangler Candy
Company (You probably know their candy canes, marshmallow circus peanuts and Dum-Dums) bought some of the brands from the New England Confectionary Company
after it was shuttered last July. Spangler promises to return NECCO wafers and
conversation hearts (sweethearts) to the marketplace as soon as possible. Now
the bad news: there’s no way that’s going to happen in time for Valentine’s Day
this year. Chances are when you go looking for the perfect sweets for your
sweetie, you won’t find any little candy hearts that say, “Be Mine” “Miss You”
or “Puppy Love.” If you do find them (they're still available online), you can be certain those candies are at least a
year old. My advice? Get your significant other a box of chocolates or flowers
instead. Because outdated candy can be hard as a rock. The last thing you want
to give your loved one is a broken tooth.
