A1: No. McKee Foods continues to produce Be My Valentine cakes in both white and chocolate styles. They are an active, seasonal product available exclusively during the early winter months.
Q2: When do Little Debbie Heart Cakes arrive in stores each year?
A2: Shipments start appearing on supermarket shelves right after Christmas, usually between December 26 and the first week of January. Production ends immediately before February 14.
Q3: Why can't I find the chocolate heart cakes in my local grocery store?
