7. Probably Snickers, but my Dad loved the old timey Cherry Mash (made in St. Joseph, MO since 1876)

They are probably rarely seen outside the Midwest any more, but I occasionally find them and because of my Dad, remember them fondly:

[debm55]

12. Thank you hlthe2b. They look very good.

[CrispyQ]

30. The Walgreens down the street sells them along with some other old-style candy. -nt

[hlthe2b]

36. Interesting... I used to see them in Denver and Fort Collins Walgreens, occasionally. Now never...

Mind if I ask what city you are in/near?

[CrispyQ]

It has been awhile. A year perhaps. ?

27. No , today is your anniversary on DU

[House of Roberts]

33. I know, I saw that was coming up about a week ago,

but it slipped my mind until you mentioned it.
I'd have joined here earlier but the 'forum' format confounded me. I didn't get on here until I discovered the chronological 'Latest Threads' feature that let me keep up with things all on one page.

[debm55]

35. Thank you I came from Huffington Post 20 years ago. DU did confuse me back in the day. Still have not picture on here in

all that time.

[pandr32]

21. Mr. Big and other Cadbury bars.

I was a Canadian kid.

[debm55]

22. Thank you pandr32. I sort of felt that way as I never seen Mr. Big or the Cadbury Bars. Sound great.Enjoy

[pandr32]

44. Canadian candy brands can still be ordered on-line.

I get some and stuff them into my grown kids' Xmas stockings. They are a hit still!
When I visit family in Canada I score some to bring home as well, but I can't do this too often--travel from Hawaii is expensive.

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much pandr32.

[justaprogressive]

23. Cadbury chocolate bar in the 60s

before they sold out...wonderful British 9% fat content whole milk! Yum!

[CrispyQ]

[debm55]

28. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. thank you CrispyQ. But sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't

[CrispyQ]

If Almond Joy came in dark chocolate...swoon.

[debm55]

32. Thank you CrispyQ Sounds great.

[SilasSouleII]

31. Thanks debm55

Your recent posts, having nothing to do with politics, are a welcome distraction and I look forward to them as well as the responses.

As a kid, I really liked the Mexican milk candy (leche quemada)
Nowadays, payday bar really satisfies the sweet/salty craving

[debm55]

34. Thank you very much SilasSoulell. Your mexican milk candy sounds wonderful . Paydays are good too.

[Diamond_Dog]

37. Do malted milk balls count as a candy bar?

Second choice would be Nestles Crunch.

[debm55]

39. Yes, they can count. You have two great choices there. Diamond_Dog

[Diamond_Dog]

58. TBH my all time favorite malted milk ball candy

Are the Robin’s eggs they sell only at Easter. They have to be Brach’s. No Whoppers. When I was a kid I ate those out of my Easter basket first. They didn’t last past the afternoon. I still love them.

[debm55]

67. I always waited for Easter too. Loved them.Sometimes I would put in a glass of milk and have "malted" milk

[Lunabell]

42. Oh, I loooove malted milk balls.

And chocolate malted milkshakes. Mmmm

[debm55]

47. Me too, me too. Thank you Lunabell.

[Ritabert]

38. I used to like Heath Toffee Bars

But I don't eat candy anymore.

[debm55]

40. Thank you Ritabert. I lked them as a kid.

[Lunabell]

41. Heath bars.

Funny story, well, to me. As a child before I could read, I had a heath bar. I guess someone gave it to me. After that when I would go to the store for a candy bar, I didn't know the name but looked for a similar package. I went through several candy bars until finally one day I found it! The elusive Heath bar! The clouds parted. The sun shone!! I found my favorite candy bar!!

[debm55]

43. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you, Lunabell. Great post.

[mwmisses4289]

46. Chocolate.

White, milk, dark, salted caramel, hazelnut...almost anything chocolate. 😋🍫

[debm55]

48. Thank you mwmisses4289

[catbyte]

49. Hersheys with Almonds

Simple, crunchy, perfection.

[debm55]

50. Agree. perfect. Thank you catbyte.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

51. Three Muskateers

So llike Milky Ways but without the nuts. I LOVE NUTS by themselves, but never inside other candies.

[debm55]

52. I loved the Three Muskateers with the whipped chocolate inside. That you for the memories.

[Sanity Claws]

76. My favorite too!

[Glorfindel]

53. Mounds.

I love the dark chocolate & cocoanut.

[nocoincidences]

63. Me too!

Now I order chocolate and coconut candies from Anastasia.

I should be getting an order of key lime flavored coconut chocolate tomorrow, in fact.

I recommend them!

[kerouac2]

54. Chunky, Charleston chew & Bit o Honey.

always had those in the ol bowling alley vending machine, next to the cigarette machine. Just had to push your way thru the smoke to get to them...

[SheltieLover]

57. I loved Chunkies & Charleston Chews

[SheltieLover]

59. I loved Maple Bun bars, too, Deb. But I really loved the "robbins egg" malted milkballs

We used to get from the Sears candy counter. And their fudge was super delic! Sour cherry Regal Crowns & Brachs Milkmaid caramels, too.

[murielm99]

60. Payday candy bar

[woodsprite]

61. As a kid, Reeses cup. As an adult, Reeses Take 5!

I've never heard of a Maple Bun Bar! Is it a local thing?

[KitFox]

62. As a kid, Prairie Schooner. I haven't seen them

anywhere for years. They were a maple cream filling with pecans and covered in chocolate. They were a flat round shape. The packaging was in a sack shape with a covered wagon on the cover. Now my favorite is Payday or
Chick-O-Stick. Thanks for all the fun ideas for posts!! 😊

[debm55]

70. Your welcome. KitFox. They sort of sound like maple bun bars.

[Zackzzzz]

64. Walnettos

[debm55]

68. Can you please share with us about what they are ? Thank you very much, Zackzzz.

[DBoon]

79. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In made them famous

It was the candy the creepy old bum tried to use to entice the Ruth Buzzy character. The creepy guy always got wacked with her purse.

[beemerphill]

69. Hershey Milk Chocolate

If I could only have one, it would be a nice Plain Jane Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar. There are so many good ones today. Another one that is close to the top of the heap is Snickers Peanut Butter. My Wife's favorite is a Regular Snickers.

[debm55]

71. Thank you very much beemerphill. Your selections are great and say hi to your wife and her Regular Snickers.

[Dorothy V]

72. Then - Hershey Bars. Now - Snickers and Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate and Raspberry.

[Different Drummer]

73. I have two that I like.

PayDay and 5th Avenue.

[Clouds Passing]

74. Zero Bars 😋

Now I like Lilly’s, almost any flavor

[3catwoman3]

75. As a kid, French cremes from the Woolworth's candy counter. The pink ones...

...were the best. I could usually get the counter person to pick out as many pink ones as possible. Also liked Chunkys.

Adult - Reese's peanut butter cups are #1 and Jr Mints as a 2nd.

[DBoon]

77. Mounds

coconut and chocolate - yumm!

[applegrove]

78. McIntosh Toffey.

[Kilgore]

80. Chick-o-Stick

[Bristlecone]

81. Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, 100k bars, Charleston Chew

Not in any particular order. Love them all.

*now maybe Reese’s Cups.

[elleng]

82. I want a Clark Bar!!!

[if..fish..had..wings]

83. Snickers for me

Then Almond Joy and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

[The Madcap]

84. Marathon bar

Before they shrank it.

[wendyb-NC]

85. I wasn't supposed to eat chocolate

The grown ups, thought I was allergic. They tried to substitute licorice. I spit out and nearly barfed all over for that stunt.

At any rate, once I was old enough to walk to the corner store, I got Butterfingers, Chunkies with fruit and nuts in them, Skybars, and Junior Mints. In liked all them.

A candy bar cost 5 cents, then kept going up, in price to a dime and beyond.

[Upthevibe]

86. debm55............

Heath Bar then and now!

Chocolate and hard toffee - c'mon..........It just doesn't get better than that.

[LogDog75]

87. 3 Musketeers and Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds
