Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and if you were planning to give your family and friends those iconic heart conversation candies, we're sorry to break your heart but you'll need to find something else to hand out.
Sweethearts, the heart-shaped candies that have sayings on them like "Love You," "Cutie Pie" and "Ooh La La," will not be produced this year, according to the Spangler Candy Company, which purchased Sweethearts and NECCO Wafers in 2018.
