S U S A N ✽Whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s hard to avoid these brightly colored candies in February. I feel as if I’ve made it incredibly clear to everyone I know that I can’t stand the taste of these things, but a box or two inevitably appears on my desk from festive colleagues. Even though the actual candies seem inedible to me, there is something about food that talks that I just can’t resist, whether traditional and sweet (“be mine”) or oddly tech-savvy (“email me”). This recipe uses the phrase “kiss me” since it is both traditional and symmetrical, and therefore easier for beginning writers. Once you’ve got the writing down, feel free to personalize these charms for your friends, family, and, of course, those per- sistent colleagues (or classmates). Yield: 1 heart
