What makes our Valentine’s edition special
Heart-Shaped Gummies for Every Valentine’s Moment
Our Swedish Fish Valentine’s candy transforms the classic red gummy into heart silhouettes designed for February sharing. Each piece measures approximately 1 inch across, sized perfectly for little hands during classroom exchanges and party distributions.
The heart shape isn’t just adorable — it’s engineered to maintain our signature soft-chewy bite. We use the same modified corn starch blend that gives our original Fish their satisfying texture, ensuring every heart delivers consistent flavor from first bite to finish. The resealable bag preserves that fresh-from-the-factory softness whether you’re filling favor bags over several days or keeping a stash in your desk drawer.
Ingredients & Allergen Information
What’s Inside Every Heart
We craft Swedish Fish Valentine’s candy with sugar, invert sugar, and corn syrup as our base sweeteners, blended with modified corn starch for that signature chew. Citric acid provides a subtle tang that balances the fruity sweetness, while our natural and artificial flavor blend creates the unmistakable red berry taste. Red 40 gives each heart its vibrant Valentine’s hue.
Our Valentine’s Fish are fat-free, gluten-free, and kosher certified. They contain no major allergens like peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, or wheat. We produce them in facilities that handle other ingredients, so always check the package label for the most current allergen statements if you have specific dietary concerns.

We always recommend reading the package label for the most current allergen statements, as manufacturing facilities may process other products. If you have specific concerns, consult the allergen information printed on each bag or contact our customer service team.
Yes, the heart shapes work beautifully as cupcake toppers, cookie decorations, and cake embellishments. Press hearts onto frosted surfaces immediately after frosting while the icing is still tacky for best adhesion.
Avoid baking Swedish Fish directly in batters or doughs, as high oven temperatures will melt the gummy texture. Instead, apply them as decorative elements after baking and cooling. The hearts also make colorful additions to Valentine’s Rice Krispies treats when pressed into warm marshmallow mixture.
Unopened bags of Swedish Fish Valentine’s candy maintain optimal freshness for approximately 12 months from the production date printed on the package. Store sealed bags at room temperature in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Once opened, reseal the bag tightly after each use and consume within 2-3 months for best flavor and texture. Properly stored candy retains its soft-chewy consistency throughout the shelf life.
After opening, fold the top of the bag and secure it with the resealable closure or a chip clip to prevent air exposure. Store at room temperature (60-75°F) in a pantry or cupboard away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
Avoid refrigerating Swedish Fish, as cold temperatures can alter the gummy texture and cause the candies to become overly firm. Never store in humid environments like near dishwashers or in damp basements, as moisture can make the hearts sticky or cause them to clump together.
