    Loved the vanilla ones as a kid.
    You refrigerate them, then smack them on the counter to break into pieces.
    They sell them up this way.

    Most of the 'vintage' candy brands were so full of sugar and unhealthy until it's probably a good thing we didn't pass them to other countries. :D
    I'm sure you guys had much better candy.

    What about these?
    I've been carrying a film container of Jujubes with me for the past 42 years, since I quit smoking.

    For utter sweetness and pleasure, it's Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

    Damn it Hal, you beat me to it!!! These are my favorites now because they can be enjoyed with dentures out!!! Also M&M's without the peanuts. In times past PAY DAY! Of course a good ol plain dark chocolate Herseys is great after a dark beer.

    I always think of movie theater candy when I see these.

    The smaller, individually wrapped, Bit-O-Honeys were softer than I remembered the larger Bit-O-Honey bars being.

    In case anyone is wondering what to do with the candy corn from Halloween.....
    Candy Corn Pizza ( I guess the recipe would be online somewhere.)
