My conversation with the Walgreens checkout guy a few days ago, after he scans TP, Advil, toothpaste:

"What are these?"  Lifts up one of four boxes of Bit o'Honeys (4x$1)

"Oh, those are some real old school candies my wife likes."  (This is a lie.  I also like them.)

"Oh.....You're Hispanic aren't you?"

These things are crack. Every time I go back to visit my mom, she makes sure to have a big container full of the singles. I end up eating the whole damn thing.

A couple of those with a cup of coffee? Yes, please.

These are excellent. Available at most grocery stores

RIESEN was Germany's very first candy brand. RIESEN fans all over the world still love the intense, chocolatey taste. The secret lies in the rich caramel filling, which is enrobed by a thick layer of dark chocolate.

that description sounds like a write up of a porno.  or something George Costanza would say.  either way, i'm intrigued.

Even better if kept in fridge.  RIP tooth fillings.

Anyone thrown out Raisinettes ?  The dark chocolate kind of course, or is everyone a-skeered of raisins in candy ?

Raisinettes, dark or milk chocolate, are my go-to movie candy. Wife thinks she married an old dude because of this.

This. 

Heddy Lamarr mentions these near the end of Blazing Saddles. The Rasinett company sent Mel Brooks a case of them every year for like forever because of the product mention in the movie. They may still.
Seeing all of these old candy brands from my childhood and did a search to see if they still make them. Apparently Candy Warehouse has them all. Even still have the candy/gum cigarettes for aspiring young smokers. Who knew?

Linky linky? 

 

1. Peco Pie

2. Praline from El Matt in Austin. Fuck that tiny ball of sherbert.

3. Ritter Sport. Any of em EXCEPT with rasins.

4. Wintogreen Lifesavers

5. Malted milk balls.

 

Homemade?

 

Alexanderites. Technically a lace cookie but really candy.

 

Recipe from Mary of Puddin Hill Cookbook. It is my aunt's recipe. Use a silpat or silicone coated parchment paper instead of wax paper and put a teaspoon of batter down instead of a tablespoon.

 

82e16c325195303faa44c15f8e59dd27.jpg

 

Despite what the recipe says wax paper always sticks. And the baked cookies are hydrophillic so keep em in a sealed tin or lock n lock. Put em in a regular cookie jar ya gonna have a sticky mess if you got any humidity at all.

Reese's has a new egg, this time egg shaped in a foil wrapper like a Cadbury egg. Not as good as the old flat one - it's heavy on the chocolate. Not real good out of the freezer because the thick chocolate gets hard to bite through. Might be the worst Reese's chocolate and PB item.

Did not like at all:

finally found the toffee ones after looking at about half a dozen places.  they are in fact...not good, at all.  I was expecting something tasting like a Skor bar with the crunchy MnM shell.  nope - they taste like burned coffee.  

the coconut peanut ones, however, are amazing.

Do they still make Skor? Looked all over the local Walmart today, no dice. Bought a Heath instead, threw it in the fridge for awhile, that shit was good.

1) reese's PB trees
2) reese's PB eggs
3) the big reese's PB cups with the reese's pieces in them
4) reese's PB cups
5) reese's miniature cups (not the tiny ones) with reese's pieces in them

trees and eggs have a higher peanut butter to chocolate ratio than the cups

1. Cherry Airheads 

2. Jelly Belly's 

3. Whatchamacallit or Take Five 

4. Sweet Heat Starburst (or any Starburst, really, except for those ugly stepchild tropical sets) 

5. Good 'n Plenty (optimally paired with a Marlboro Red and a Guinness) 

Honorable mention: Nerd Ropes, Chunky, and Peanut Butter Twix (R.I.P.) 

Always reliable once in a blue moon: Tootsie Rolls and Pops, Cherry Blow Pops, assorted salt water taffy 

International wildcard: Sublime from Peru.

Has any twisted sick fuck said "peeps" yet?

We still have maybe a hundred of these things lying around since Easter.  My kids won't touch them, and they'll eat almost anything with sugar.
