Old Candies Remembered

I used to enjoy Atkinson's Chick-O-Stick toasted coconut and peanut butter candy. Sixlets were another good deal. They are similar to plain m&m's in a cellophane tube.

My favorite candy bar while growing up was the U-NO bar. Fortunately they are still made and I have a dealer (local pharmacy) who will order
a box of them for me upon request.

not so much an "old" candy, but one i would buy by the carton/case. dark chocolate Reese's PB cups. i don't see them often. wouldn't mind dark chocolate Rolo's.

And I loved the candy version!

OMG, so good!

Problem was, mom and dad went through all of our candy on Halloween night, they'd have us dump our bags out onto the kitchen floor and anything and everything homemade went into the garbage. :(

Seemed every Halloween there was incidents and news reports of pins and needles and razor blades put into things, so mom and dad were adamant that nothing homemade be consumed by us.
 
this is as close as i can get to the image of what these candies were that grandpa used to give us. they were pink like this and reminded me of pepto bismal. he called them pinkies. they were not mint though.

At Halloween I would go to the house right across from our school and sing for a toffee apple.,This woman made us preform a trick before offering the treat. Most would walk away but I didn’t. My parents never saw my the Halloween treat and never saw my Halloween bag . I threw plain apples away and any homemade treats.

It was so worth the treat. Those candy apples were so delicious.
 
Does anyone remember these? Mary Janes? They were a honey flavored toffee with a peanut butter center. I loved them. Penny candy doesn't exist anymore. My teeth are grateful. :giggle:

Wow such an appetizing thread and good memories. . I liked white chocolate minibinks at Easter and so called mothballs. White candy with nut inside Many of these candies are still being sold at specialty and retro candy shops. The Ferrara candy company still produces atomic fireballs lemon heads and candy beans I think probably. Now the candies would wreck my teeth even further
 
we still have many of those candies here, big candy store. but I miss my favorite flavor of soda... cream soda in a bottle with the blue pry off cap, there are close to's but not the same..

And who could forget Red Hots!

I never passed on adding a few of these to my little brown paper candy bag when buying penny candy!

You beat me to it! I loved Red Hots. Actually, they still make them but they're hard to find. I bought some a few years ago and threw some in homemade apple sauce! Good stuff!

LOL!

So good they were!

What I loved best about Red Hots, was that they were a soft chewy candy, so I could savour the flavour right away. :)
