I want candy!


Caraccioli

Recommended Posts

(Re-creating yet another topic that appears to have been deleted last year. :huh: )

I was just enjoying a Butterfinger candybar when it occurred to me that I used to really dislike Butterfinger candybars. I liked Kit Kats or Twix or Whatchamacallits. Now I like Butterfingers. That got me to thinking about the candy thread we used to have (which is now gone apparently) and ruminating on candy.

Candy thoughts or memories anyone?

Here you go!

Your dreams can come true...

Bubblegum cigars, candy cigarettes and more.

For me it was Fizzies. Soft drinks in Alka Seltzer style tablets... Root beer is by far the best.

Enjoy!

Hallowe'en kisses -- the really dark molassesy kind. If you can find kisses at all anymore, they're anaemically pale toffee.

Oh, and I just discovered that Laura Secord has a new Easter Egg flavour this year: Caramel Fudge Pecan! The bunny laid a beauty this time!

And, of course, the thread header makes me think of a different type of "candy" ... immortalized in Bow Wow Wow's song, "I Want Candy":

... hmmm... that bassist was pretty 'sweet'!

Cheers, Hester

Dark chocolate..mmmmmmmmm :huh: sinfully dark...

Not much of a candy eater...like M & M's, red hots, non pareils, and dark chocolate covered raspberries or strawberries..

OOh then theres a good chocolate smeared kiss...hmmmm

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

You know, I was thinking about Gummi Bears this morning... (That's all. Further bulletins as conditions warrant.)

John: "I don't know."

I've really become a fan of Vosges chocolate with Himalayan salt bars.

Can't say that I've tried them. But maybe I will.

And although I prefer dark to milk chocolate, these have a respectable 41% cacao content.

I've gotten used to the upper 80% range for dark chocolate. Lindt makes one that is 87% as I recall.

Last time I took the family to Hershey we stopped in the new museum/chocolate shop. They sell the most awesome drinking cocoa. Hold on...

Yum!

Oi Blackjohn - that Old Time Candy store has the British version of the Marathon bar - apparently it's supposed to be just the same (albeit with better chocolate...)

Old Time Candy - Curly Wurly

And Ghiradelli makes a 99% cacao bar - yes, I've had it. Extremely intense chocolate flavour, not sweet. I usually like my chocolate extra bittersweet as well, in the 80% range.

I remember those. They were terrible! :ph34r: They used to have ones with vampire fangs in them at the local general store. (We had a local general store when I was a kid - with musty wood floors, long wood and glass counters and great big glass jars of penny candy. It burned down. *Sigh*)

Awesome! Jill, you totally made my day! Thanks!!!

I'm pretty sure I've had that one too. I remember thinking about the time I tried eating baker's chocolate as a kid. I bet I could do it now without flinching!

:ph34r:

And again, thanks!!!

My childhood favorite was - hands down - Zagnut. Toasted coconut over a Butterfinger-like crunchy peanut butter. Almost everyone else I knew hated them. So many people can't bear even the thought of coconut - Red Bess for example. I think she throws up in her mouth a little every time I mention it.

And now, after my gastric bypass, I'll probably never have another Zagnut, or any other high-sugar content stuff. I had a sugar donut a few months ago and got a bit hypoglycemic, so I avoid sugar as much as possible now. If I could just find a single Halloween sized Zagnut, I could probably handle that. My eyes are peeled...

I keep thinking about all the 'tryed and true' candies that have been around since I can remember:

Some of my favs are:

The Charleston Chew candy bar

Necco wafers

but the all time fav...

Chunky Candy bar with nuts

I like licorice, so for me it was Good & Plenty, and licorice whips (not the whimpy red ones, but the tough black ones.)

For the movies, I used to love to get a big box of MilkDuds, since I like the caramel/chocolate combo. And, my Grandfather always brought us kids bags of Kraft Caramels, which were soo good.

Another chocolate/caramel combo I like, is See's dark chocolate molasses chips. Yum! :D

When I was a kid in Phoenix, we had real strawberry shoestring licorice. Swedish fish too. But licorice drives up the blood pressure, so I don;t partake anymore :)

However, Andies candies...mmmm
