Last summer, the New England Confectionary Company, a.k.a. NECCO, went bust. What does that have to do with you, you ask? Well, NECCO was the manufacturer of SweetHearts candy, the iconic heart-shaped treats you left on your crush's desk in junior high. Now, we live in a world where, on the one day you're really pushed to express your love, you don't have the candy means to do so. Fortunately, other snack brands have stepped up the the heart-shaped plate to provide. We rounded up the best heart-shaped and loving-message foods that will do the work for you this Valentine’s Day, whether you’re offering them up to a lov-ah or eating them yourself.

In what may be Costco’s most genius move yet, they're selling four-cheese heart shaped Ravioli from the brand Nuovo . The pasta requires no printed words, because it already speaks my love language: Ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and aged asiago.
