VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE – We Put Bebeto’s Valentine’s Sweets to the Test – And It Was Love at First Crunch

Cupid might have competition this Valentine’s Day, because Bebeto is doing some serious flirting with its latest sweet launches. The UK’s trend-setting confectionery brand has released two heart-themed treats just in time for February, and naturally, we put them to the test in the name of love, and science.

First up are the Fizzy Heart Popz, classic strawberry flavoured gummy hearts, but dressed up for date night. Coated in a fine layer of sugar, these little hearts deliver a cheeky fizzy kick as soon as you bite in. They’re sweet, tangy, and dangerously moreish, the kind of bag you fully intend to share, but somehow end up finishing yourself halfway through a rom-com.

They’re perfect for Valentine’s gifting, Galentine’s get-togethers, or that very important moment when you decide you areyour own Valentine this year. At just £1 a bag in Poundland, they’re an easy win.

Then comes the real showstopper, Freeze Crunchy Strawberry Hearts.

These start life as Bebeto’s classic gummy hearts, but after a freeze-drying process, yes, the same kind used for astronaut food, they’re transformed into ultra-light, super-crunchy flavour bombs. The texture is completely unexpected, loud crunch, quick melt, and an intense burst of strawberry that feels genuinely new. Crunchy on the outside, bold on the inside. Honestly? Same.

Both products score extra love points for being free from artificial colours and fully Halal certified, making them easy crowd-pleasers. They’re also affordable, fun, and perfectly shareable, whether that’s with a partner, friends, or just yourself.

Available now in Poundland, with the Freeze Crunchy Hearts also landing in Heron Foods, Bebeto’s Valentine’s range proves that love really is in the air, along with the sound of very enthusiastic crunching.
