The Sweet Story of Love Heart Sweets: From Romantic Gestures to Festive Favours - SoSweet

Jason Stanley |

Love Heart sweets, those delightful, fizzy little messages of affection, have been an enduring part of British confectionery culture for generations. Born from the creative minds at Swizzels, these sweets have transcended their role as mere candy to become symbols of love, friendship, and celebration.

The Origins: Crafting Messages of Affection

The journey of Love Heart sweets began in the 1930s, conceived by the innovative Swizzels company. These sweets were a revolution in the confectionery world, combining taste with tender messages. Each sweet came embossed with a simple, yet heartfelt message, making them more than just a treat - they were a means to express affection and sentiment.
