Now I Want Chocolate.................i Have To Leave Work, Take A Break, And Go Get Some Chocolate......................this Thread Has "killed Me"...........

I absolutely LOVE Twix bars and KitKats. Most of the time, though I go for the "hard stuff" and grab a huge bag of M & M's. The new dark chocolate ones are to die for!

During the holiday season I love the chocolate covered cherries and can make myself sick off those things.

Also like "Turtles" and I make turtle brownies (will post the recipe in the holiday food section) that are sinfully good.

Turtle brownies!?!? And I thought my butt wouldn't get any bigger, lol. Please post the recipe.

I remember those wax lips and the wax bottles. We used to go up to the candy store by our house and buy those. Also candy cigarettes. What about those chocolates, I think they were called something starting with "F". They were in a tube and were kinda flat (like big chocolate chips). Mmmmmmmm, those were good. I used to get rock candy and now and laters all the time too.

Oh yah I knew where every candy store was between school & home. There were four. First was Ermas, then was the local tavern that had stacks of candy inside, then was a private owned Burger Dairy & the last stop was Lukes. All of those candy stores were owned by the person who lived attached to the store, it was like a house & the front rooms were turned into stores. When you go in the bells would ring & out would come the people. Those were the good days though, when I could get all the penny & nickle candy I ever wanted in a little sack.

I do remember candy cigarrettes. They were more like a white powdery sugar stick with one end that was colored brown for the filter. I have not seen those in years but I thought they were cool because it made me feel like one of the big people.

Are you thinking about the tootsie rolls? Some of those came in a tube.

Twix & KitKat is another favorite here.
I know so many people who love chocolate covered cherries but I can't take those things. Not even one I will throw up. That reminds me of those valentine candy boxes...
LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GONNA GET.
& I bite into every piece just to see what is inside but never eat the whole piece & stick it back in the box, I guess for the next person to see if they want it.

Turtles rock! That was a big seller when selling them in school for fundraiser. There was only about eight in the box but man they were good!

Are you referring to Milk Duds?

No, I think they were called "Flickas" or something like that. They were just chocolate but kinda big pieces and they had a unique taste to them.

Nope, I think they were called "Flickas." Milk Duds are yummy though. I can't really eat that kind of stuff anymore cuz I have so many fillings and cavities. So anything that sticks to the teeth too much is a no-no.

My LOVE for chocolate and sweet is why I have false-teeth today...... Grew up with a piece of bubblegum in my mouth at all times......

"those little carmel candies with cream in the middle are neat to melt away. I forgot what they are called?"

Bull's eyes??? A local Ben Franklin's still has a candy section with buckets of old-time candies and most of the ones mentioned in posts above are usually there, including my Dad's favorites, Bit-a-honey.

These days I am kinder to my teeth and middle with sugar-free Jelly Bellies and Coffee Nips...as good as real ones, but too many tie you to the bathroom for part of the day, so can't overconsume (sugar alcohols are laxative). And get my real dark chocolate fix wrapped around raisins, dried cherries, almonds and cashews, yummm, (healthier fats in nuts as well). I go in on payday to our chocolatier shop and buy a 1/4 pound of each of above to mix and keep in a fancy candy jar for an after dinner treat.

I adore sea foam.

Bazooka? with a comic strip.LOL!
Bubble gum really will do a number but hey, we get to blow huge pink bubbles.

I told my dentist to just give me all false teeth & be done with it, instead of doing all this other digging, stabbing, jabbing & poking & drilling. He comes back with a set of them & puts them in my hand & told me hold them the whole time I was in there.

At the end of the appointment he asks, "Are you sure you still want those to carry around in your mouth at all times?"

I just started laughing.

What is sea foam? I never heard of it.

[Minnymouth]

I've had false-teeth for almost 30 years. Wouldn't have my own back if they gave them too me...... I really suffered with my own teeth....... went the fillings, crowns and all.....

But anybody that has good teeth - take care of them.......

I sure do miss my bubblegum though........................

Yes. That is it. Bulls eye. They come about 6 or 8 to a pack & they are so chewy but the white cream helps & makes the carmel easier to chew & not stick to my teeth so easy.
I like Bit-a-honey too. Only thing is you have to suck them slow because one bite into it & the piece will be stuck to my teeth like glue until I dig it out with my finger.

I thought you were gonna say Exlax LOL! I actually think those taste good. It is silly but they do.

Does anyone like those little chocolate & yogurt covered pretzels? I enjoy a bag of those about every two years.

What about chocolate covered ants & grasshoppers?
I never tried that but I might if I ever come across them. Probably have to be in a fancy candy shop.
