Thread: Iconic H'Ween Candy

Tweet

I'm curently working on a yard display with lots of oversize things (more on that in another post). I'm going to try and make huge versions of candy I loved as a TOTer and would like your opinions to the following question:

Except for candy corn, what would you consider to be "iconic" H'ween candies that I could incorperate.


Any and all suggestions appreciated.

I assume you don't want the typical commercial brand candies so won't go that route. I guess I remember getting candy apples, popcorn balls, wax lips, those peanut blossoms wrapped in orange and black waxy papers. Most of my halloween candy though was name brand candies, like Hershey bars etc.

Don't forget: Pixie Stix, Smarties, Bit-O-Honey, those nondescript caramels with the clear wrapper (not the Kraft ones), Starlight Peppermints, & PEZ. Last but not least, those weird colored candy coated chocolate balls. They were sort of like M & M's, except smaller, and came in a clear cellophane sleeve.

I was also thinking those peanut butter chews in the orange paper. Lollipops is Halloween designs.

I loved the wax vampire teeth. Play with them, chew on them for hours. Also those chewy pumpkins, kind of like a tootsie roll type substance. You know the blessed ween is coming when you see those babies (don't taste to good however!)

Did I find the coolest site for you! http://www.oldtimecandy.com/ So, ramblin through found all these candies that my brother and I would find in our treat bags minus the obvious treasured chocolate ones. Get ready for a nostalgic blast from the past!





















Root beer barrels





Sour Balls

Here's more!




My absolute favorite: Bullseyes.... well next to Whoopers.





















Oh yeah, butterscotch!

Mmmm, Mary Jane's, Sugar Daddies & Whoppers.... Forgot about those entirely, thanks for the bit of nostalgia Terra!

Right, can't forget these either...






And. THE. Best. Candy. EVER.




Off topic/ I have the funniest story about "The Sugar Baby Incident", and my favorite English Staffordshire.

What are those Chick-o-Stick things anyway? I never tried one as a kid thinking it was made of real chicken. LOL

I wish someone would make the old style Candy Cigarettes again. Those were my all time favorite.
I guess they're not politically correct now.
