What are the heart of the conversation?
The
heart of the conversation are heart wafer candies that are printed with short sweet statements like "I love you" and "be good". The most famous brand of conversation hearts is probably the pets created by New England Candy Company (NeCCO), which has popularized these sweet sweets for more than 100 years. The heart of the conversation tends to be big sellers around Valentine's Day thanks to their heart shape and words about love.
The original heart of the conversation was not a heart at all. They were candies known as Cockles, created in the shape of shells wrapped around pastel paper with proverb. Cockles were not even for lovers; Several different types were made that were distributed as kindness at the party and spoke in salons. When NeCCO developed its unique panometer and candy in the 18th century, one of the founders of the company gained a clear idea of printing the statements directly on the candy.
Modern hearts make pastel colors, with red prints created by vegetable BAsewn. When these candies were first introduced, they were printed on a number of shapes, including horseshoes, four leaves and baseball clover, with NeCCO realized over time that the heart would be a permanent seller. The Sweethearts brand contains a number of statements, several of which are exchanged every year to enjoy things.
The texture and taste of conversational hearts is quite different. Some people enjoy it very much, while others say that these candies remind them of sweet cardboard. According to NeCCO, sweethearts are made of sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, rubber, color and flavors, and it can be safely assumed that imitators use a similar recipe. These candies are extremely stable because they have no ingredients that could melt or go yellow, and as a result they are potentially edible years after production, even if they can start to taste outdated.
