What it is
These are small, heart-shaped candies with printed emoticons on them. They are a classic candy often associated with Valentine's Day. The candies are typically hard and chalky in texture, dissolving slowly in the mouth. They come in a variety of pastel colors and fruity flavors. The novelty of the printed faces adds a playful element to the treat.
