Big hearts are hard boiled sugar sweets in a heart shape with fruit flavours, in pastel colours and in a larger format than our fruit hearts. The size is what makes the difference: a single heart lasts a long time and therefore works well as a small giveaway, for instance with an order or at the till. Each pastel colour stands for its own fruit flavour, and because the sugar is boiled hard that flavour is released slowly and evenly. The combination of size, shape and gentle colours makes them popular at weddings and parties where sweets are presented in bowls.
