By The Cup Small Candy Conversation Hearts, 2.5 Pound Bulk Bag

These hearts are as close to the original as I feel I will get. The taste of each heart is very good. I love that they come in a huge bag. They can last me about a month or two. I've never had a problem of the product being out of stock. I'm not looking for the words on the hearts as it's just for me. I'd also like to mention, that the price isn't so bad when you start to look at others on here and find out how much more other sellers are wanting and for a much smaller quantity.

I order candy hearts fairy often and know the flavors. This bag was really bad quality as half of them taste rancid or similar to black licorice.

Packaged well, I’ve ordered this a few times and the quality is consistent. They weren’t too hard, but also not squishy.

Slightly less hard and bigger than the original Sweethearts brand. However, the messages are more consistently legible and centered, except they look like they were printed on a dot-matrix printer, which kinda messes with an old school, classic vibe. Attached a picture of a random assortment from the bag with a dime so you get a sense of scale. Flavor is a little stronger and more fruity. As a fan of Sweethearts (particularly of their "bite"), hard to say whether I'd order these again- I ordered these because of the resealable bag and I didn't want to commit to 2lbs without knowing whether I'd like the brand or not and it's relatively good value for the money.

Pros: reminiscent of the original conversation hearts but they're much softer. Interesting flavor- not bad, just...different. While disappointing, they're still better than Brachs (*ptooie*) and for reasons I'm unable to articulate, I've munched on a handful while writing this review.Cons: anemic colors, non-existent or very faint messages like "True." Is that a question? A response? Or are they naming Kardashian children? They're much chalkier than the originals and I'm unable to pinpoint half the flavors (I can say, with certainty, yellow is lemon and not banana- the sole reason for the second star.Mostly I'm just super disappointed and annoyed that I paid a ridiculous amount of money for something that isn't even close to my favorite Valentine's Day candy.

I’ve been hooked on this candy for a few years now and this brand is almost as good as the original Brachs conversation hearts. I guess Beach’s stopped making it, or slowed it way down cause theirs is hard to find, ever.

Just as the title says, the flavor on these is VERY strong. I'm not really sure how to explain it other than that. They also have a vague chemical taste. The texture is perfect and pretty close to what I remember from the Necco Sweethearts. Perhaps a bit too crunchy, though. I don't really know why the flavor is so potent and overwhelming. Overall I wouldn't recommend these and I wouldn't buy them again, but they are not inedible, just not enjoyable aside from the texture and obviously the sugar content.

Amazing flavor!
