I'm trying to find out if they still make a favorite Valentine candy from when I was a kid. They were lollipops that were either a cherry or strawberry flavor with cream - so they were a red and white swirl color. They were in a circle with a hole in the middle, and I remember raised lettering being on them possibly spelling out the brand.

I've tried searching for them online, but no luck. I remember seeing them a few years ago in a kid's valentine card pack, but I haven't seen a bag of them for years, and I'm wondering if they're even still around. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Funny, as I was explaining to my boyfriend what I was looking for, he said "You mean like a Lifesaver?" I said, yes similar in shape, but I don't think they were Lifesavers. Well what do you know, they were.

I'm not sure if they sell just the Valentine lollipops anymore, but they do sell the Strawberry and Vanilla one in a Lifesavers Swirled Pops box now.

They were Lifesaver lollipops and the ones with the cream swirls were called Creamsavers but they were made from the Lifesavor company and yes they were awesome, I haven't had them i years. You must be under 30 years old if you had them as a kid. I can remember being about 20's when they came out and I am 46 now. But I remember they used to make them pretty big sized and then as the years went by they made them smaller and smaller, they even came out with just the creamsavers in regular lifesaver size.

yummy, wish I had one. I liked the strawberry
