What's your favorite candy?

[BillB]

Candy corn is still sold in stores.
I like gumdrops and orange slices. I never cared for jelly beans.
I still think red hots are my favorite.
My wife has a recipe where red hots are melted somehow and poured over peaches.
I developed diabetes and can't eat that kind of thing anymore. I miss it.

I had a co-worker who had a glass pumpkin that she filled with a mixture of candy corn and peanuts in the fall. When mixed and eaten together, it kind of tastes like a payday candy bar.

Not a big fan of plain candy corn; too sweet for my tastes.

Anyone remember the little, cylindrical cardboard containers full of peanuts. They cost a nickle and some of them had coins in them- up to a quarter. I think a dime was the most I ever found.
I remember they had a picture of an Indian chief on the lid.
That was back in the 1950s, so I probably won't get any takers.

I was alive and eating in the 50s but I don't remember those. Where were you living when you got those? I wonder if it was a local or regional thing. I do remember peanuts in globe shaped or rectangular shaped devices. You'd stick in a penny and get a handful of peanuts.

Used to like candy corn. Used to bite it into 3 pieces according to color. Don't know why because they all tasted the same. It's too sweet for me now too.

I was living in Dallas during the 1950s.

Wonder if it was a Dallas thing. I was in Austin. I asked Bob about them (he was in Kansas). He'd never seen them either.
