Yes, they are the marshmallow inside does taste more like a toasted marshmallow. They were my favorites and, I get them when, I find them.

Yup

[@caramel475]

My favorite is bb bats.

[@Shawn666Hellion]

Fiz-wiz were like pez candy in a way but the packs were twice as long so you got more of them

[@TheSpazzDragon]

Circus Peanuts are a sort of flavor/texture combo you cant really find in anything else. They are Banana flavored and the texture is kind of like a firm nougat that melts in your mouth over time. They are weird for sure. But there are plenty of people who like them for more than just nostalgia's sake; Myself included.

[@claudecat]

Agreed! I love 'em.

[@Halloween111]

I'll get a craving for them about once a year. I'll buy a bag, get through about 3 or 4, toss the rest out, and I'm good for another year.

[@seanswinton6242]

Fifth Avenue. Three Musketeers. Mars. Clark. Milkey Way. Kit Kat. Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. Twix. great chocolate bars.

[@maryschmidt8075]

If you're stuck with a bag of Kandy Korn, mix it with an equal amount of shelled roasted peanuts, or dry-roasted peanuts. Eaten together, they taste like a Payday Bar.

[@brad3042]

I grew up eating candy cigarettes, despite never making a habit of the real thing. You used to be able to "puff" on them and it would look like you were smoking.

[@samanthab1923]

I only remember the ones that looked like chalk & the chocolate ones of course.

[@platinumpisces8120]

I really enjoyed the bubble gum ones.

[@summersands8105]

I remember all of these candies. When I was a kid, my uncle had a little hometown grocery store with the penny candy counter. He'd allow us to get a small bag of candy sometimes when we went in to return soda pop bottles. He had everything they showed on this video and a ton more. You could fill a small bag full of candies for like 25 cents...lol Those were the days.

[@davidjones3165]

Bubble gum cigs & cigars plus the chewing gum made to look like chewing tobaccy

[@fayeking75]

Necco is New England Candy+ Confection Co. They made sky bars

[@ragincajun7625]

I remember bubble gum cigars

[@denisemayosky1955]

Me too, and I never took up smoking because of them. They still were fun to blow on and pretend that you were "taking a drag" like a grown-up!

[@lolineko2083]

Same. I still don't smoke, but those were great

[@eyeseer1]

The powder sugar smoke when you puffed them. Still funny.

[@SusieKatpersonKoch]

Oh Mallow cups!

[@toastnjam7384]

My grade school routine was buying 10 Pixy Stix on my way home. I would empty them into a small bowl trying to paint a pattern and eat it with a small spoon while watching a cartoon show. Quick Draw McGraw IIRC.

[@sonyafox3271]

I also liked the ones they put in the bigger pouch and then, you could eat the stix when, you were done.

Milk bottles contained a sweet liquid encased inside a waxy container resembling a milk bottle, and kids would bite off the top of the bottle to drink the contents, which came in different colors.These are the candies that I remember from the 1960s.

The same company that made a Necco Wafers also made Mallo Cups and some of these other candies. Remember a few yrs when, you couldn’t buy candy hearts (conversation hearts) it was then, The Necco Candy Company closed down its manufacturing company. They then, sold it to Kraft Foods and Kraft foods, owns or you could say who owns Cracker Barrel Restaurants. Look the next time you read a menu or the products you see such as there butter and jelly you’ll tend to see the condiments and such will have the Kraft name on them, same with Crarcker Barrel Products you buy, you’ll see on the back of the package distributed by Kraft Foods manufactured at where they’re company is located at. That’s why a lot of these candies are in the Cracker Barrel Store, there well supplied.
