Birth of a Candy Bar

One Payday, Mr. Goodbar wanted a Bit-O-Honey, so he took his old lady, Mrs. Hershey on the corner of 5th Avenue & Clark. He began to feel her Mounds and to him that was an Almond Joy, which made his Tootsie Roll! Then, he let out some Snickers and slipped his Butterfinger up her Kit-Kat, which of course caused a Milky-Way! She screamed " O-Henry! ", and she squeezed his Peter Paul , & said, "your better than the 3 Muskateers! " She soon became a bit Chunky & 9 months later gave birth to Baby Ruth.

I have a few. Meiji Petite chocolate-strawberry chocolates that I can only get in japanese grocery stores. Any kind of taffy. I was recently reunited with Country Store Old Fashioned taffy after nearly 30 years and ended up ordering a few boxes from the factory in Texas. Any kind of dark chocolate, the more bitter and hard the better.

I don't eat much candy anymore but it's a nice treat sometimes.

Coffee Crisp rocks!! I get some whenever I go up there. My Mom in law even send me some one year. Peronally, I like anything with good chocolate, german or swiss. In the US I like Rasinets or Reeses Pnut better cup, although I never eat then, they are terrible for you. (the reeses)

Do a google search of "pick the candy bar" or something like that. this web sit has about 60 candy bars cut in half and you have to guess what they are. some are easy like snickers or milky way. but do you know the others. its a good site. my wife is a chocolate hound and knew them all.

Milk Chocolate bars:


Hershey, Nestle, Cadbury, or any other -- as long as it is smooth, milk chocolate.

When I was growing up, my mom always made candy at Christmas (her dad taught her when she was young): fudge, divinity, peanut brittle, pecan pralines, and pulled taffy. They are all my nostalgic favorites. But if I had to pick just one candy to spend eternity with, I must admit it would probably be an unlimited supply of Dove dark chocolate.

Another one to add to your list...www.vermontcountrystore.com
I've got several NEAT items from them. If there's something you want and can't find (not just candy!) ask them. They may already may be selling it, but
if not they'll do a search for it. I got a DRY iron (great for quilting,etc for no
steam hole marks) and a real honest-to-goodness stainless steel percolator
and even the basket is stainless. Their candy selection varies by season, but I
remember all of them.

This weekend our family drove 50 minutes away to a candy shop called
"Yummies". They were featured on Phantom Gourmet, so we had to go.
The kids were impressed by the fact that their shelves are stocked with
10,000 pounds of every kind of candy you can think of, plus more for
what they ship to people.

They aren't cheap, but they do have lots of old fashioned candy.

If they taste like violets smell, I got some at a World Market last year.

Chowards Violet mints. They still make them. I've seen them in a few stores and there's several old-time candy websites selling them.

My god, you guys don't have Coffee Crisp? Oh, poor you, poor you! We always get tons of the mini ones at Halloween. nummy!

thats them i never heard of that store

could you tell me what sites thank you

For those of you who are candy lovers, I just read a fantastic book -- Candy Freak by Steven (Stephen?) Almond. Really a great one -- check it out on Amazon or at your local library!

And I guess if I had to weigh in on the candy issue... Symphony bars are certainly up there, along with Rolos and when I'm not in a chocolate mood, Starburst.

Three Musketeers, but since I don't eat sugar anymore, I've been eating Russell Stover's sugar-free mint patties.

For a long time my favorites were peanut butter cups or Snickers. Now, depending on how I feel, it's orange slices, gum drops, jelly beans, Mike & Ike.... anything sort of fruity.

Butterscotch, Root beer bottle wax candy, the hard candy dots on paper, pixy stix and Lick-a-stick were my favorite as a little girl.

Mt.man,

They had those violet things at the checkout at yummies. go to yummies.com
If you don't find what you want on-line call and ask them because they take phone orders too.

I don't know if they offer then on-line, but it's worth a try. Hubby saw them
and asked what they were, he is still talking about how floral smelling they
were. Do they taste good?
