Two Sweethearts® Candy Collaborations That Are Perfect Gifts for Valentine’s Day
Two of our favorite retailers have the sweetest offerings this V-Day!
Sweethearts® Conversation Hearts candy and Valentine’s Day go together like peanut butter and jelly. But have you ever wondered how they came to be?
In 1847, Boston pharmacist Olive Chase invented a machine that made it easier to produce apothecary lozenges. Often considered the first American candy-making machine, Chase eventually moved from pharmaceuticals to candy. He founded Chase and Company which would go on to become the New England Confectionery Company, or Necco. Later, Chase’s brother came up with a way to press words onto candy lozenges, but the inspiration behind them is shrouded in mystery.
Regardless of their true origin, conversation hearts have become a staple in Valentine’s Day culture. Though their taste (or lack thereof) is highly debated, Sweethearts® candy hearts are a popular and festive treat that becomes relevant every February 14th.
Now, you can give all the sentiment of candy hearts without having to eat them thanks to Bath & Body Works and Alex & Ani. Keep reading to discover these amazing Sweethearts®-inspired collections for Valentine’s Day!
