Here is a photo of one of my favorite candies since childhood.
They are NECCO wafers.
They are made by New England Confectionary Co out of Massachusets.
They are multi colored wafers that are basically all sugar.
I have a hard time finding them at local grocery stores.
But the Dollar Tree store seems to have them all the time.
ANother old time candy I still love is Good N Plenty.
Remember Choo CHoo Charlie?
I miss those comericials.
What is your favorite "old time" candy?

Yes they are still around.
I have always loved these.

I love suagr wafers. My husband bought me some not too long ago and they sure didn't stay in the house long LOL. I would have to say those are my favorites.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

I love anything sugary.
Mostly baked goods like donuts, cakes etc.

I forgot about those. I also remember Good N Plenty and loved it. I really like peanut butter log I think is the name of it, small candy with stripes on it and the chicken on a stick. If I am wrong with the names I am so sorry. I should have done some research before I responded. As a child I loved so many different candies and some still around and others not. OH yes, Bit O Honey....love them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Never heard of shicken on a stick.
Describe that one please? Hahahaha!
Ahhh bit-o-honey was one I loved.
No teeth now so it's not on my list of faves anymore.

Chick - O - Stick is what it is. I was close though. hahaha
I do not know how to put the picture on here that I found online but this tells what the candy is like.
A thin cigar-like, rounded Zagnut-looking candy stick that includes "crunchy peanut butter and toasted coconut candy." It not only tastes a good deal like the inside of a Butterfinger candy bar, but it crumbles in your mouth much like a Butterfinger's innards, as well.


myLot reputation of 94/100. thebohemianheart (2780)  4 years ago

Oh, man, I forgot all about chic o sticks. I still find the peanut butter logs around here. Hubby loves those.
I am posting a piccie for ya*S*



myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Thanks.
Now I recall them.

For May day I actually made May baskets for my sisters and brother and included some of the old time candy that was available...Necco's were part of the basket! I prefer Bings....I just love them. Also those carmel/ marshmallowy things that look like a pinwheel! I can't remember their names.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Man now I am craving those cookies with chocolate covered marshmallows.
The cookie was a small wafer type and the marshmallow was pinwheel shapede.
Is that what you're talking about? These didn't have caramel though.

No....but now you are making me hungry for the mallow things.....LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. tyc415 (4490)   ranked 24 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

I remember the wafer type cookie with marshmallow dipped in chocolate but not sure what that is with the caramel/marshmallow but it does sound yummy.

Yes NECCO Wafers are are delicious. But even as a child I never liked Good N Plenty, but my brother did. I can remember going into the store and buy a little bag of penny candy, and my bag would be full. Those were the days, now I sound like the "bunkers!"lolhappy myLotting.

Choo Choo Charlie was an engineer......Charlie says, Love that Good 'n' Plenty! That was the first commercial I ever saw that I asked my mother to buy from. And the one that taught me that I'm not going to like everything that's being advertised!!! LOL But, I loved that commercial. My uncle Charley worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, so it was like watching him in cartoon form! But, I can't stand black licorice!!!

Mom LOVES Mary Janes. I can find them in the candy stores in the mall where you can buy by the pound, but not in the regular stores, except once in a while in the 2/$1 bags. My favorites when I was a kid were the strips of dots on paper. They were $.03 a strip when I used to buy them. Everything else was a penny or two-for-a-penny. Candy necklaces, wax pop bottles, candy cigarettes (I don't smoke, so they didn't encourage me at all) and Juicy Fruit gum (Yipes Stripes!!) Of course, there was also Teaberry Gum with the theme song sung by the Four Seasons, too. That was pretty good stuff.

My daughter loves Necco Wafers. I like them, too, especially the chocolate ones. But, she and I pass off the black ones to my mother who just can't get enough black licorice....or couldn't if she were left to her own devices. LOL


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Cool deal.
I loved the old time commercial where he shook thwe box and chanted,
"GOOD N PLENTY. GOOD N PLENTY! CHOO CHOO!"
I loved those dot candies also.
Also another fave is circus peanuts.
I oove the chewy types the best.

I haven't seen the NECCO wafers is quite some time. I liked them. Good N Plenty I can take a pass on. :)
My favorite old time candy is probably Maple Nuts.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

What exactly are Maple Nuts?

I never liked Necco wafers or good n plenty. My husband loves Necco wafers though. Eveytime I go to the dollar store I will buy them for him. He also like Bonomo's turkish taffy

I liked banana now and laters, root barrels, watermelon slices, candy peanuts, Mr Good bar, bit of honey.
Moon pies were good too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Both of those candies are great. Here in CA we have no problems finding either one.
I do love the black licorice with the sugar coating over them. I use to try and let the coating melt in my mouth before biting the licorice part. I was not very good at that.
Did you know you can buy a whole role of Necco's that just come in chocolate? I have not bought that because I love the mixed flavors. I do not much care for the purple ones. The pick ones taste like pepto bismol to me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 8 out of 397 in candy  4 years ago

Yes I've seen the all chocolate ones.
But what's the fun there.
I like to open the roll up and pick the few chocolate ones out.
Hee hee hee!

Do you suck the Neccos or do you crunch them. I try to let them dissolve in my mouth but I cannot seem to do that and end up chewing them up.
