Before Sweethearts became the treat du jour of elementary school Valentine's Day celebrations, they first gained popularity at weddings. Back then, the candy hearts were also quite larger than the ones we eat today, so they could handle longer nuptials-themed sentiments like "Married in White, you have chosen right" or "Married in Pink, he'll take to drink.

Basically, it's all used. They move through a wall and into the dryer you're looking at, which is about 30 feet long. The hearts go back and forth across the dryer, end to end, each time dropping to the next level, and then they come out the other end.
They're dry enough to be stacked. But if you were to bite into them, there is a definite skin around it. If I were to go directly to packaging, they would squish. Next morning, they're left out for an hour in ambient room temperature. Then they're dry. They're mixed in a machine we call the "rocket launcher" that blends the hearts.
