I’ve never seen anything else like a [Zagnut bar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zagnut). ---

I don’t think anyone makes them any longer but my favorite candy growing up were 7-up bars. The originals had a big nut in the middle, but later on they eliminated the nut and they just wern’t the same. ---

7-up without the nut, can’t seem to find the ones with the nut. [7-up](http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonliebigstuff/5642716228/) (scroll down a little) ---

I used to be able to buy **Alberts’ Ice Cubes** which are small chocolate cubes with Hazelnut oil in them. Very delicious and unique. ---

[Creme Eggs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_egg)? I don’t think I’ve seen that sickly sweet gooey filling duplicated anywhere. ---

> [@Enginerd](#): > > [Creme Eggs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_egg)? I don’t think I’ve seen that sickly sweet gooey filling duplicated anywhere. There’s at least one imitator, which is actually closer to the eggs I remember from when I was a kid than Cadbury’s are, now. ---

The format of [Lik-M-Aid/Fun Dip](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fun_Dip) is pretty unusual, even if the ingredients (mostly sugar) aren’t. ---

[Musk Stick](http://www.cottoncandydiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/musk-sticks1.jpg) Tastes sweet, and like perfume. (in a good way!) It’s soft and grainy. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > [Seven Up](http://www.candywrappermuseum.com/sevenup.html) While researching my Nut Goodie link, I discovered the Seven Up was made by the same company (Pearson’s) - and it is [gone](http://www.pearsonscandy.com/faq.aspx), probably forever: > [@](#): > > Due to decreasing sales Pearson Candy Company ceased to manufacture the 7-Up candy bar in the late 1970’s. We no longer possess the equipment necessary to manufacture this item. Additionally, the 7-Up name was returned for exclusive use by the bottling company. It is for these reasons that Pearson’s has no plans to produce the 7-Up candy bar again. ---

I never saw another candy bar quite like a Rocky Road. A slab of marshmallow, covered with a very soft chocolate coating, with tiny morsels of minced nuts on top. ---

[Toffifay](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffifee)? As described, “caramel cups containing nougat and a hazelnut, topped with a chocolate button.” (Dark chocolate, I think, and about the only dark chocolate I’ll willingly eat.) ---

[Unique Pretzel Bakery Inc.](http://www.uniquesplits.com/) makes [pretzel shells](http://www.uniquesplits.com/pretzels-shells/). It’s basically a hollow-out pretzel. Very tasty. A local store carried them for a while. Haven’t see them lately. ☹ ---

Oh my gawd, I haven’t thought of Seven Ups in decades! Funny, I loved those things, even though I generally avoid almost half of the segments in a box of chocolates. Are Toffifay extinct? ---

Now I want Toffifay. I saw them a few years ago back in Ohio. No idea if they are still around. How about a [Sugar Daddy](http://www.tootsie.com/products.php?pid=161)? I’m guessing there are other things like it, but I’ve never seen one. ---
