I am not sure of what you are talking about but I can remember my Mom buying peppermint candy that was shaped as more of cylinder and the center had chocolate. That was a favorite. One of our neighbors decorated their whole Christmas tree with edible treats. There were homemade cookies and popcorn balls of all colors wrapped in plastic wrap. There were candy canes, strings of lollypops, little bags of chocolate fudge and bags of nuts in the shell. It was a child's paradise. I remember this family so well because it was the first place I had rotel cheese dip and Italian salad dressing. Isn't it funny, the things we remember from childhood!!
