69. Mounds and Butterfingers...

Only, Idk about the rest of you but from the mid '60s to the through the '70s (maybe later) often the Butterfingers core would be too hard to eat here in NYC.

So for a long time I stopped eating them and also serious dark chocolate bars were popping up in the ?'90s. When decided to have one I was pleasantly surprised that the core was now very easy to crunch on. It has been that way (though it's been several yrs since I've had one) ever since. Yay someone(s) fixed it.


As an adult back in my 40s, while not a candy bar per se,
I discovered Maple Candy at a Vermont promotion event! Oooo, yum! Haven't had any recently since I haven't been down to my big Greenmarket since covid.
