Necco, our conversation heart company, got bought out by another company a couple of years ago. The new company hadn't yet figured out how to print on the candy hearts so they came out wordlessly for 2020. Maybe for 2021? :)
@anniesue The original company had been in business locally for over 100 years. It went bankrupt and there was much moaning and wailing over the demise of Necco wafers and Converstion hearts. The new company saw a need and bought the recipe and the "technology" which was also over a hundred years old. It didn't survive transport and they had to make a new one. They did make silent conversation hearts last year. This year I think they finally found their voice.
