Rumor was that they had gone away forever.
Possibly their old manufacturer sold them to Brachs Candy.
Brachs site shows them available.
OK, rarely do you eat one at a time, to sense the flavor.
BRACHS TINY CONVERSATION HEARTS
They aren't so good to suck on and they are a little too hard for the teeth to munch.
And sometimes, rarely, do you craft with them, or enclose them in a Valentine to communicate a message.
Still, if you pause to read the TEXT, they can be fun and full of possibilities.
I prefer the Brach's cinnamon hearts. I once baked someone a cake with these hearts all around in the icing.

Hey, I really liked NECCO Wafers. Are they gone away forever?
They were made with real flavor oils. You could taste the flavors.
