After a two-year absence the candy will be found in early June at pharmacies. Other retailers will follow. They will have the same flavors, and still be wrapped on waxed paper. I may be one of the few people I know who liked them!

DH loved Necco Wafers!

DH loves those candies. Me, not so much.
I'll have to keep my eyes out for them and buy some for DH next time I see them.

I never knew they stopped making them! My mom LOVES them. I never really liked them. I bet she'll go crazy. I'll have to buy her some the next time I see them. Although, I don't think she knows they stopped making them either!

Thanks for sharing!

We used to use them to "play Mass" when we were growing up.

I love that candy and have missed them. Im.glad to gear they are coming back.

JanetL, I remember that use.

Also, certain flavors emit flashes of light when broken or crushed, in a phenomenon known as triboluminescence.

I just had to look them up I’ve never heard of them before! They remind me of those candies that are shaped like a dab of icing. I don’t know what those are called either!

I think they're disgusting! However, the same compamy makes conversation hearts. I need those back in my life. Not to eat, but to make sentences and poems.

We used to use them to "play Mass" when we were growing up.

This is what we did, too!

[klarabelle]

They aren't my favorite candy by any means, but I will eat them. My mom loves them too. I didn't know they weren't being made either.

[choppie70]

We always used to break the white ones under our blankets when we were kids and watch them flash!

[Sam5]

My mom loves them and so do I!

I LOVE Neccos!

When I heard they weren't going to make them anymore, I bought a whole box of them (24 rolls, I think) and rationed them for a long, long time!

I love them best after the package has been opened for a couple of hours or so...they are juuuust soft enough and juuuust hard enough to be the perfect texture (smile!)

Silly, huh?

I am so glad to hear they are coming back!

[twinmom95]

My mother also loves them as she's of a certain age. She especially loves the black ones. I love that woman, but there is definitely something wrong with her

[Cat woman]

Never had them. I guess I might have to seek them out.

[travelingfar]

I love Necco wafers. I'll stop by CVS and pick up a package sometime soon. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think they are disgusting, but my brother loves them. I called him up when I saw they were coming back.

Did you know that NECCO stands for New England Confectionary Company? They are based in Massachusetts!

[sevenplus]

I always loved the brown ones!
