Boomers: What was your favorite candy or candies as a child? (milk, best)

[pathrunner]

Mine were: Abba Zabba, Big Hunk, Sugar Babies, Sugar Daddy, Good n Plenty. Dirt cheap even back then.

Later on (high school and college) it was the Three Muskateers Bar. I could eat three of those in a day and not gain weight. (Not that it was a healthy thing to do!)

Candy cigarettes buy far. Ironically, I have never smoked a real cigarette.

I liked bottle caps, runts and candy corn. Snacks I liked ho ho's the best.

Ice cubes, Hershey bars, Caramello bars, Certs fruit flavored

Mallo Cups, hands down--not only for the chocolatey, marshmallowy deliciousness, but the chance, if one was patient enough, to actually earn an entire BOX of them via the redeemable points. I had the sublime experience of receiving this boxful of heaven in the mail exactly once, and I remember it to this day.

Another favorite was the Seven Up bar--who could resist not one, but seven different chocolate covered treats in one bar? And the unfortunately named but absolutely delicious Cherry Humps.

Milkshake candy bar. and malt balls.

Nestle Crunch. Still like it.

Almond Joy and Chunky. I can still hear the Chunky commercials with Arnold Stang saying, "Chunky, what a chunk of chocolate".
