What were your favorite candies and confections as a child?

[Qvsee]

I was always going to the drug store or neighborhood grocery getting a ten pieces of Swell bubblegum in a little brown sack. It did not last long since I crammed about 3 pieces at a time in. If they were out of Swell, I got Bazooka. I remember Bun candybars and still can find them at Speedway mini marts. I never liked the liccorice red or black. Red cinnamon balls rolled in sugar were always good and circus peanuts. We had a bakery called Roselyns from which my grandfather used to get me their brownies. And, we also had a bakery nearby that made and still does, hot doughnuts.........Going down to that neighborhood was always fun. I remember my mom had a bill there. She could just say put it on the bill and pay it off on payday. And, the grocer would deliver to your home because it was just around the corner. And, at the SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM, you could get a coke and a bag of chips for 15 cents...........What a fun time......The 1950's.......

Not sure how old you are but your treats you described sounded good.

I'm sure you have your very own special types of candies as we did up here in Canuck land. I have to say I had two specials that I really liked when I was a little guy. One was a hard candy called fruit drops. they would last for ten minutes in your mouth and they were all different flavours and sour too with a transparent white sugary coating.

The others were what they call mojos now. They are still good cept they stick to my dentures.

Childhood memories, aren't they something.

Thanks nice thread.

[gossamer]

[Irish]

Nestle's Choco'Lite & Hershey's Zero

I've tried Nestle's Aero bar, but it just doesn't taste the same as Choco'Lite.

[Irish]

I forgot about Marathon. (chocolate & caramel)

[Barbi]

Necco Wafers and Bonomo's Turkish Taffy (Banana flavor)!!!

[Linda Lou]

I'm in a candy corn eating phase that just won't quit.

Especially Brach's Autumn mix.

Love the chocolate tipped candy corn. :P

[Jules]

I loved (and still do) Chocolate Covered Cherries.

And Marshmallow Peeps during Easter. Of course, they taste horrible to me now.

[pebbles]

I have always loved spearmint leaves, Milky Ways and Hershey Bars.

[Jules]

Adding Three Musketeers to the list!


And Twizzlers!

[bluebutterflies]

Growing up, my mom's homemade fudge. With walnuts and pecans ohhhhhh....sooooo good. I had some homemade fudge last month @ Gatlinburg, Tn fudge shop ( renowned for their fudge ), and it didn't come close to my mom's. ~~memories~~

bbutterflies

[pebbles]

Does anyone remember White House ice cream? We got it at Isaly's and it was vanilla and it had whole black cherries in it.

[Barbi]

Ohhh, Jules--I completely forgot about Peeps! I used to freeze them!

[Jules]

Another thing I want to add. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Cakes....not a cake, but one Large cookie, with icing on top!

[beekeeper]

I've always been a chocolate kind of girl, but I do remember loving the butterscotch hard candies at my Grandmothers house. Also, those coconut candies that are square, pink white and brown?!? I think they were Brachs.

[Rebel_Mom]

Going back to the topic, my favorite childhood candy memory is being 3 years old and walking down to the corner market (back in the day when you could let a child walk to the corner by themself) and putting a dime on the counter for a package of M&Ms. All these years and lots of chocolate later, they are still my favorite.

[biff725]

He still cant find it. lol......

[Linda Lou]

Sponge candy and Reese's peanut butter cups.

This WAS a thread about candy, RIGHT????

Sigh. :/

[puddy]

Mallo Cups. Bun candy bars. I'll think of more...

[missitaly]

Remember Now and Later candy? I loved them. I also loved the classic pink bubble gum. And I adored Heath bars when I was young. I don't eat them now, but I sure ate plenty of them back in the day.

[CandyApple Corvette]

OMG, I remember Isaly's. Ours was in Sandusky Ohio. They had the pointy ice cream---instead of round scoops, they were pointed at the top.

My favorite was the marshmallow ice cream cones and chocolate BB Bats. We had a penny candy store in the neighborhood and would get a whole brown bag full for a quarter.

Do you remember candy necklaces, candy dots on paper, Mary Jane's, bullseyes, Pixy Sticks, Sugar Daddies, Bit O Honey and SenSen? They still make all that stuff and you can buy them online from nostalgic candy stores.

[atmet12]

Melo cups and black jack gum

Black gum name around here was Beamons......Tasted like licorice......

[Soldier]

I remember the licorice gum.

Anyone remember "Thrill Gum" or is that going too far back?

[Pal]

I'd get my five cents and head to Ashley's store. She had the best penny candy this side of the Pecos, lol. I'd start with my "Sixlets" which were like round M&Ms but there was six candys in a pack (more bang for my penny).....a caramel that was swirled around some kind of white cream.....delish. A little chickostick.....that was like a butterfinger but without the chocolate. It was covered in toasted coconut. A hot ball......they lasted forever.....again, I got the most out of my penny. And then to top it off, a piece of bazooka, which would last me half the day if I didn't blow an out of control bubble that would then get stuck on my face and hair........

There was nothing like the feeling of five cents in my pocket and heading out to get my goods :)

[Jules]

I still love Sixlets , to this day!

LOL about the Bazooka Joe gum, with the "comics" on the wrapper.

[Soldier]

Orange and Black Halloween candy that tasted like the ice cream they have now called Tiger. Good candies.

[Jules]

Coca Cola Gummy bottles. Like Gummy Bears, but shaped like a coke bottle.

[Soldier]

I remember those, they were good.
