I've purchase this item multiple times over the last few years. It is a substantially better version than the regular in-store versions kids always purchase for valentines day.
Something is different, however. While it wasn't bad, I am still wondering if I would ever purchase this item again. Usually, I get the larger bag rather than the 1 pound bag (not that anyone should expect that to make a difference). It's still good, but not quite the same texture (which is a neutral change to me) and, especially, the FLAVOR I have come to expect. It's still kind of tart-ish (which I like), but the flavor varied in quality from heart to heart. I don't know if this is intentional, but I came to somewhat dislike the yellows.
Hoping to hear that they go back to the old style from last year.
3.5/5 STARS = it's in front of me so I will indulge(moderately, it's still a lot of sugar duh), but I may not go out of my way for it anymore like I would for a 4/5 star or higher item.
