NECCO stands for New England Confectionary COmpany, and the candy is still made in New England -- specifically, in Revere, Massachusetts. The candy with words mentioned in the above post is probably the Sweethearts line, also made by Necco; it is offically described as "Conversation Hearts," and is available mostly around Valentine's Day (in other words, right after Christmas!).

I Loved these as a kid, even my mother would buy them to satisfy a sweet tooth. Thank You for posting this.

About two weeks ago I was driving to Logan airport, and passed the factory. I remember Dad eating these, but I was never a big fan, and was surprised to see the big logo as I drove by the plant.

I have a lady friend of the Catholic faith who remembers using Necco Wafers as pretend communion wafers when playing "church" with her pals when they were little kids. Playing church was never a pastime with me

They are selling a pack now that contains different flavored waffers and it is hard to find the original packages now.. the mixed flavors and the all chocolate ones. Also hard to find FRESH packs, lots of times they are pretty stale!

If you find them PACKRATJOHN let me know. Or notify DUFF on here and he can locate me. The black ones were my favorite but I never saw them wrapped only them. Thanks, Mike
