All my favorite candy and sweets

[Bandit]

Reeses Peanut Butter cups is probably my favorite. I do eat the outside first then the center. Then butterfinger is a good one if it is not stale.
Milk Duds & those little carmel candies with cream in the middle are neat to melt away. I forgot what they are called?
I enjoy several carmel apples this time of year & once in the summer at the amusement park.

Pez
Gummy worms
Lemon heads
Starburst
M&Ms plain or peanut
Chocolate raisins
Circus Peanuts (way too sweet for me today)

This site will take you back to the 50's, talk about memory lane.

No, that is not SPAM, just a start to get the list rolling!


How many sugar coated sweets & candy we can come up with from around the world. I know there are thousands today & hundreds of old fashioned candies, some that are not made any more. Not to forget the expensive ones like Godiva or Fanny May.

I challenged myself to making a pineapple rum cake last week & the company ate the whole thing in one setting. It was loaded with Captain Morgan.

If you hate sugar food, you can list the one you hate the most.

For the diabetics, please share some good sugar free candy, cookies & sweets. I know there are some good wafer cookies with no sugar & I believe I had no sugar ice cream once.

ok, honest engine...I don't eat that much candy like I did when I was a kid, hording bags of trick or treat candy. When Halloween & the Christmas Holidays come, I still treat myself big time
How about you?

Fudge is at the top of my list, but I am also enjoying a lot of Sweetart Shockers these days.

I like to tear apart the snickers bar starting from the outside - layer by layer.

I have an abiding love for those little square Snickers bites (don't know why I bother eating them - I should just apply them directly to my hips!) LOL!

[whatamess]

Bandit, we love the same candy..even down to the lemon heads. Reeses are heaven. BUt I have to add Payday and my two oldies I cant find anymore..ZAGNUT and the gone but not ever to be forgotten MARS bar.
Hershey chocolate puts Nestle to shame. My sister went to Hershey Park last summer and brought me back a gift pack...my love for her grew leaps and bounds..lol.

SNICKERS GIRL HERE................... love the Snicker Bites.......and minnys.....

Love the hard rock candy at Christmas time - the homemade kind..... so many yummy flavors. And best part, you make it yourself.

Shame they did away with Mars bars. They were the same as Snickers only no peanuts. Bad thing they were made on same machines at Snickers, and people who were allergic to peanuts could still get sick from them...... I believe thats the reason they stop making them.

Also love Skittles....... all the different flavors......

. BUt I have to add Payday and my two oldies I cant find anymore..ZAGNUT and the gone but not ever to be forgotten MARS bar.

You can still get Zagnut here, do a search for Zagnut

It's also available at the site Bandit posted.

Seems I read that Mars is still available but it is under a different name now.

Do you all remember Marathon bar & Now & Laters? Now & Later was square & had all different flavors.

Salt water taffy
Good & Plenty
Lifesavers
Rolo
Cow Tails- has that long skinny carmel with creme inside & they stretch.

Do you remember Neccos? It is a roll of thin chalky like wafers in all different flavors.
I used to like those wax lips & the wax bottles that have some kind of flavored juice inside, then you chew the wax.

Pixie Stix- that was like straight sugar inside a paper straw.
I always wanted one of those cotton candy machines & I used to think I could make cotton candy in the washing machine when I was a kid.

What about ROCK CANDY? It pops in your mouth like static. I think they took that off the market but it was fun.

I remember payday, that is a good one....and zagnut & MARS, but I don't see them as much today.
& there was another one called ZERO but I can't remember what it was like now.
What about Baby Ruth?

I am not sure which one I like better between Hershey & Nestle. I t seems those two are in straight competition with each other & it has always been that way.

[Bandit]

About the Snickers lovers. That used to be my favorite too & I ate it the same way from the ooey gooey inside first then the outside.
I am not sure what happened but one day I stopped liking it so much & I don't know why.

Another one I stopped liking so much are the little candy corns, they are orange & yellow triangle candy for Halloween.

I still like peanut brittle once in a while & carmel corn, something like cracker jacks but there is a better brand today than cracker jack. I forget the name.

Fudge is at the top of my list, but I am also enjoying a lot of Sweetart Shockers these days.

Sweetarts are great & fun plus the roll is huge & you get a lot. I have not seen the shockers. I can eat about one piece of fudge a year & then I can't take it after that.
Did you ever have a no bake cookie? It is kind of like fudge because it melts & boils on the stove, then you add peanut butter & oatmeal. I like those around Christmas.

Get thee behind me! ...

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.

Today my favorites are sweettarts or shocktarts, sour patch kids, mike & ikes, etc. I like sugary candy. When I crave chocolate I usually get a Twix, Kit Kat, Reeses, M&Ms or Chocolate covered raisins.

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.
