I think it’s shameful how we treat Necco candy. We’re so fickle. February comes along and we’re all about the Sweethearts (a.k.a. conversation hearts). There will be 8 billion hearts produced this year. It’s one of the most popular Valentine’s Day candies. I love em.
Just 8 short months later and Necco Wafers are grouped with Bit-o-Honey, raisins, and circus peanuts for “least desirable Halloween trades”. Even candy corn gets more respect!
Those wafers are the same thing as the hearts, you know. Dust and all.
This February when you’re gaga over those hard little candies, put a few aside for October (trust me, the taste won’t change) and relish in their cuteness once again. And do it in front of those Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Respect the Necco.
