Not candy, but popcorn balls!
I saw them in Giant today and was tempted.

Runts, sprees, candy necklaces, warheads,
Pop rocks, gobstoppers, warheads, those orange pumpkins that were made out of candy corn, those strawberry candies with a gooey center in the foil strawberry wrapper, Kraft cellophane wrapped caramels

Abba Zabbas: white taffy bars with peanut butter inside.

Jolly Rancher sticks. Lemon and green apple.(Thinking about the green apple is making my mouth water.)

Taffy pieces and caramel squares.

Small packs of lifesavers, with like 5 in the pack.

Necco Wafers, Pixie Sticks: did not eat these, though.

Thanks to whoever corrected me about the crunchy things not being peanuts! I gave up buying 100 Grand bars in order to save for a pony at age 10. It was indeed a sacrifice!

This is a fun thread.

Lions Club candy was so cheap & terrible that I remember as a kid, us kids having fights throwing it at each other while trick or treating. No one ate it.
The next morning it was all over sidewalks and front lawns.

I gave away all this stuff last year! The parents especially loved it. There is a vendor on Amazon that sells 80s candy.
