Favorite candy when growing up?


Recommended Posts

Hard to pick a favorite but Snickers was almost always my first choice!

Tootsie Rolls.

 

I convinced my nieces when they were little that they would choke on the Tootsie Rolls in their Halloween candy, so they picked them all out and gave them to me.:D

 

The youngest one still gets me a bag of Tootsie Rolls for Halloween every year.

One of my earliest memories, don't think I was even in school yet,  is sitting on the curb, breaking a 3 Musketeers into 3 pieces and sharing it with friends.  Never was a favorite candy, just a cool idea to have it break into three pieces for sharing, and a favorite memory.

Mine was a “Seven up” bar. Seven pieces, each different, couple types of nuts, different nougats, orange and red jelly. Pretty good!

And of course, hard to beat a classic, the Reese’s peanut butter cup.

Cannot watch a movie without my Junior Mints.  Got addicted to York Peppermint paddies in 1970-71.  That was when all the major candy bars went from a nickle to a dime but the pepermint paddy stayed at a nickle for a while and being cheap/poor I bought those.

 

One that I really liked when I was a child in California was the Mountain Bar.  Did not see them for years and then found them on the Internet.  Ordered some but they sure did not taste like I remember them in the 1950s.

Idle Isle nougat nut rolls, Idle Isle Candy Factory, Brigham City, Utah.  When the weather lightens up they will start shipping again and  I'll still order enough to tide me over through the warmer weather.

 

My grandmother used to use them to get me to do outrageous chores when we went visit.

Probably a Mounds bar, followed by Rollo, then Milky Way bar.

Also enjoyed a box of Junior Mints at the Meralta Theater in Downey California. 

Wife still eats AbbaZabba's. They've gone from $1.59 to $2.29 in the last 2 years!

Milky Way

Reeses Cups

Baby Ruth

But now I go straight to the Baby Ruth for some reason.

But being honest, there aren't many candies I don't like.

This my favorite. Put them in the fridge or freezer for a hot weather treat.

Somehow I left Almond Joy off my list. 
 

Actually Almond Joys became a favorite around the age of 17. They still are. Whenever it’s time to buy Halloween candy I always make sure we get a bag of mini candy bars containing Almond Joys…then I remove them from the candy we pass out to the kids. Just in case they might have coconut allergies or almond allergies. I am protecting them. It’s my duty. ;)
