Went down a bit of a rabbit hole and found this (and other similar sites) with boxes of candies from different decades.

Iā€™d also most forgotten some.

My friend introduced me to Werther's original. Then her husband was making fun of us because apparently it's an "old lady candy". Still great IMO.

I remember those! Also the colored sugar dots on sheets of paper. Chick-o-stix. Cinn-o-mon Lifesavers, which were white. Whatchamacalits.

My son loves salt water taffy but there's something different about how I remember it. Is it different now? I feel like I miss salt water taffy even though I have some in my kitchen right now.

We're a fan of bullseyes / caramel creams. Stocked by Stop and Shop so maybe not too old-time, but feels like a throw back!

Little rectangular pieces of semi-hard candy. Peanut butter and honey I think? No chocolate and just barely sweet.


Bit O Honey?
