What is your favorite candy that is not longer made?

[cwbullet]

I remember eating a candy from the 1980s. It was creamy, chewy toffee. It was sold in a aluminum roll buy has individually wrapped candies. I remember the commercial featured a butler. If you have a name, I would love to have it.

I was always a berry / soft chew kinda guy. Nibs & gummy fruits.. I stil buy the odd 'bucket' of squishy fruity candy..

Love chocolate, but is over done these days..

Hated black licorice, but am getting teh taste for it as I get older.


We used to stop at the corner store after high school. We all bought a drink (Coke, Dr. Pepper, root beer, etc..) and with the coins left over, get some candy too. A friend bought his root beer & a Twizzler Nibs. He had a cigarette (unlit) in teh other hand. we all sat down & started out usually after school banter. My friend sits, takes a swig of his root beer, then goes to take a bit of his Nibs.. A funny, bitter taste. he bit the end off his cigarette instead! we all laughed at him!

At the same sore, someone had spilt a bit of drink into teh almost full box of Gummy bears. teh store owner sold the box to us for pennies. We didn't care! so we all had box of Gummy bears to share! we also found out they do hurt if you throw them hard enough! and teh few at eh bottom of eth box, which were starting o dissolve from the dink, stick pretty well to things, like stop signs..

The only thing that I miss that really doesn't exist anymore is Marathon Bars.

FWIW Rolos are shaped like a conical aft retainer and are wrapped in gold foil. They're still available at most stores.

If Rolos ain't it, might check out some vintage candy stores online. (Hey OldGuys, remember wax lips and wax fangs? Chunky? Zero? Smoothie?)

I'd guess Rolo's as well.

I kind of miss the Marathon bar. It would take a half hour to eat back then. Hard caramel and chocolate.

I miss vanilla 3 Musketeers.
I agree with @tsmith1315 , I believe the answer to the original question to be Rothchilds. Wrong commercial, but right idea

Red Vines 2 lb bag. I cant remember the name of what it was called.
2 lbs of misc pieces of red and black licorice, it had bits of bites, ropes, twists and so on.
The only time I grabbed one was to travel. I cant find them any longer and the manufacture has no "Family packs" that consist of twists.
Just not the same.

Cuban Lunch - a chocolate bar with a mix of chocolate, molasses, spanish peanuts. There is a revival of the bar with the same name but not the same taste because the recipe was lost.

Peanut butter Twix. They are kind of off and on but I haven't seen them for over a year now

 

[prfesser]

Boyer company, maker of Mallo Cups and Smoothies, used to make a coconut-filled cup that I loved. Mounds are good but I prefer milk chocolate with my coconut.

Just occurred to me: There are all sorts of peanut butter candies out there, but although I've bought almond butter and cashew butter in grocery stores, I haven't seen almond-butter-chocolates nor cashew-butter-chocolates. In fact I'd like to see Brazil-nut-butter candy, hazelnut-butter-candy, and a few others.

Zots. A hard candy w/a filling that would foam when you got to it.

Great candy. That company said they could not sell me Smoothies while I was in Iraq. They shipped me 2 cases for free.

That is it.

There was a hard candy that was kind of a carmel and butterscotch mix. It came from Scotland. My grandmother, also from Scotland, would give it to us when we visited. I have seen it a few times in the U.S. but haven't seen it in decades. Just remembered it had a Thistle near the top of the package and the candies were individually wrapped in foil. I had to dig for that memory. And I like Chunky's too.

We used top have a Marks & Spencer's around.. Dolly Mixtures & Jelly Babies are always a favorite!

Interesting fact: If you are baking muffins stuff a rolo into the center before they go into the oven.

I forgot about those, OMG they were the best. The licorice flavor was my favorite. Happy memories.

I'm told that Walkers Nonsuch Licorice Toffees are a suitable replacement? Ordering some to find out.

Once were log shaped wrapped in foil, but now are spherical. Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates.

Can't find these anymore:

Stuck with this instead:


Just kidding, but imagine having Popeye-branded spinach. That's what missing in the world today: fruits and vegetables packaged like cereal, with mascots acting as protagonists in video games.

Not as old-timey as some of yours, but when we lived in Missouri in the 90's, my mom would get a candy for me called "sour dudes." They were fruit-shaped gummies coated in sour sugar, like sour patch kids. They were more sour than sour patch kids though and had watermelon and grape and I loved them. Haven't seen them in decades though, and looking around on the internet doesn't turn up anything.

Little tip for you, if you think your favorite candy isn't made anymore or haven't been able to get it, there's a chance it just has limited distribution. Amazon is actually a really good source to find candy that can't be had locally. I've found a bunch of things I liked in my childhood that way, if you remember what it was called.
