When you were a kid what was your favorite candy bar or treat?
 

What was your favoret candy bar or treet? :icon_wink:

Oh Henry!

Sky Bars were tops but if they were not available, 3 Musketeers. I think we used to pay 5 cents for them......but that was a few years back.

Gummy Bears. Still love em but have to be from Germany. The American brand not quite right although Hasbo is close. Otherwise, fruit -- a rare commodity in the early 50's overseas.

Penny candies especially strawberry liquorice and chocolate.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but it felt like such a waste to spend a whole nickel on something that was gone in 2 bites!

I liked the penny candy too. I grew up in Philly and there were corner stores on every corner! I went for MaryJane's, the waxed bottles with juice in them and my favorite were the dots on the long strips of paper!

I liked Black Jacks.. pink black and white square taffy..

I grew up a Catholic and all the boys in town (including me) liked Necco wafers. We used them to practice distributing Communion to each other since we were all convinced we'd be priests someday.

PayDays

Pay days were my favorite
I used to buy them for 10 cents
And a can of Pepsi for 15 cents

Almond Joy!

Mounds by Peter Paul.

Circus peanuts

Dark Chocolate Nonpareils
Sky Bar
Jawbreakers (Fireballs)
Pixy Stixs

Plain old Hershey's chocolate bars...

No wait --- I think it was really a Chunky - is that the right name - sounds weird. Awesome piece of chocolate with raisins and I believe it was square. Did it have nuts??? oh brother a senior moment. Help me out here.

I think they had nuts, they were great.

My fave Yankee Doodles and Devil Dogs.

Oh boy!
 

I opened this thread finally!
You can make music on this whistle!
I can't say the texture is palatable, but I would love to pick out a tune on one today.
There was a candy stand near the elementary school.

At Christmas it was Italian almond nuggets topped with a wafer

Ding dongs, ho hos and devil dogs.

Baby ruth.....
I even took my lunch to school in a baby ruth box....
It opened up to me being teased....in a sweet way......

Wow, what a response to this thread! I can't believe none of you selected those coconut flat chewy candies that were white pink and brown! They still sell them in places.

The sugar dots for a penny on a strip of paper from the little store across from school in the first grade (by the way, could not stop there in kindergarten, since the pastor of our parish did not believe kindergarten was good for kids)!!

Torrone by Perugina. Still sell them.

I'm expecting a Yodel delivery from my niece, wonder if they're still as good.

Ho Ho's, Three Musketeer Bars and Marshall Field's Frango mints!

Oh! When I visited grandparents at Taylors Crossing, near Decatur, Tennessee, It was the only place in the world you could get a push up with ice cream of vanilla and orange sherbet....
