The only season candies I like are the hearts with the words on them and candy corn. Those are not flavors you see in regular candies.

I bet you like Necco wafers too.

I used to but they contain gelatin and I do not consume that. If they removed the gelatin, I'd be all over them again.

Umm, have you checked the ingredients on the conversation hearts recently? They're the same thing, just produced in different shapes. Unless you're finding an off brand that makes theirs differently?

Gelatin = necco. I have checked candy hearts and never seen that as an ingredient. It has been actually years since I had any though and I know they went out of production for a while. Maybe things are different now.
