Set the mood this Valentine's Day with candy heart tea lights. In elementary school, you strategically gave your crush those little candy hearts, but now you can tell your sweetie how you feel in a mature way, while still maintaining that child-like innocence.

These sugary candles are made of lovely pastel colors that read those [classic sentimental statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-bright-conversation-hearts) like, Love Me, Kiss Me and Hug Me and unlike the treats, the writing won't melt off. They come packaged in their old-school wrappers, for an extra punch of cuteness.

Your sweetie will be tickled pink at those fond memories from back in the day, and in contrast to those [stale sugary treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-in-this-economy), these little candy heart tea lights have zero caloric intake yet still get your point across.
