Childhood candy

‎12-18-2024 02:43 PM

I think I remember having a formed popcorn cube and smashing a maple patty on it - maybe I am having a daydream.

My favorite candies over the years had always been:

 

York Peppermint Patties

Chuckles

Almond Joy

Goetze's Caramel Creams

Oh Henry!

 

It has been years since I have had any of them. DH & I don't ingest sugars/carbs/grains/seed oils anymore...

I never heard of the candy that the OP is talking about.

 

My memory of childhood Christmas candy would be this, clear rock candy,

or glass candy.

Hey, I remember those bricks of popcorn.  Weren't they pink?

 

Whatever happened to them?

 

Gee, I hadn't thought about those (pink?) brick formed popcorn bars since I was a child.

 

Thanks for this thread !!!!
