What was your favorite candy or treat when you were a kid?

@Marie5656 I never heard of Shum Gum. We had Bazooka but my favorite was double Bubble gum.

Oh! Yes...who doesn't like Sugar Babies.
Don't remember the other.

Square banana taffy wrapped in yellow paper.

Do you mean Kits?

I think that's what they were called!

I liked those. My Aunt got them for me when she visited.

Candy corn. Ya know, they looked like corn kernels, but not like the ones today. They had a white tip. then yellow, maybe an orange band, then brown at the bottom of the triangle. Today, all you can find is the white/yellow/orange ones. Without that brown chocolate bottom, they just aren't the same.

Tootsie Rolls - chocolate

I liked them all!

I remember lemon drops and pink wintergreen lozenges from the bottom of my grandmother's purse.

My grandmother always managed to find a fuzz-covered perfume-tasting piece of candy in the bottom of her purse to keep me from fidgeting in church.

The man that used to pick up the local farmer's milk cans always had Atomic Fireballs and Jawbreakers for the kids on his route.

The hot cinnamon-flavored fireballs were a real test of endurance, but only babies would dare take a jawbreaker!

I liked Hershey's Kisses. Now I prefer Hershey's Nuggets. Because the Nuggets are bigger, that's why. Only on Halloween though.

 

[Pecos]

LOL, Chocolate, ... is there really anything else??

My favorite was Bonomo Vanilla Turkish Taffy bars.

 

[Jules]

Cracker Jacks, Cadbury Caramilk bars, and red Lifesavers.

 

[Pink Biz]

These were like peanut buttery caramel fudge. I even named one of my pet goldfish Henry!

 

[jujube]

Payday peanut bars. My mouth is watering for one right now.

I was a kid during WW2 so no sweeties.....
The mammies made slabs of toffee when the sugar ration came in to the shops....yum !
Once in a while my aunt who lived in Canada would send food parcel with jars of toffees and mints for the adults
We shared all with neighbours..what a treat that was.

My favorite was Bonomo Vanilla Turkish Taffy bars.

Me too, I liked all the flavors. Smack 'em on the cement to crack them in pieces. Was Bonomo the original maker?

Loved them, five below sells them.

Three Musketeers candy bar was my favorite. Frozen if possible. My second choice would be Whoppers malted milk balls in a milk type carton.
