Every one in a while mum gets a hold of some salty licorice chewy candies. They’re awesome. I think they night be a dutch product.
Peanut butter logs. I don’t remember the brand. Like a Zagnut, only smaller pieces in a bag. I haven’t seen them in years.
“Bounty” bars. Almond Joy without the almond, Mounds without the dark chocolate, more coconut than either. Seen them one time since 1978.
Clark bars, which are like Butterfingers. My grandmother used to work at the factory, and she’d bring home freshly made bars. Sooo much better than month’s old bars from the store.
It means “little hard candy.” They actually DO make mint-flavored ones, but they’re kind of a generic mild mint that’s hard to recommend. The flavor is predominantly floral. If you’ve ever had Creme de Violette liqueur, that’s basically the flavor.
Shocko Bananen - Dark chocolate covered banana flavored marshmallow. I don’t even like marshmallow candies, but these are so good. I stock up every Christmastime at the Christkindlmarket where they have a candy shop full of German goodies.
And at the same market, I grab a couple boxes of these - Chocolate/marzipan/fruit jelly liquor - that are amazing and a yearly treat.
Yessssss, I came in here to mention Idaho Spuds! I discovered them when I lived in Montana. They’re real good. 
Also in Montana I found a little general store that sold Abba Zabba bars. Too bad they’re not sold on the East Coast.
I like Chuckles. I can go for a while and see them in the stores, and then I will go for months and not see any at all. They, and the French burnt peanuts mentioned by Trancephalic, were what I liked at the movies.
And I like circus peanuts about once a year. Then I’m set for another twelve months.
I see Albert’s Ice Cubes in the bulk candy section of Wegmans grocery. These are about the most unhealthy candy you could possibly eat, but I get a few once in a great while.
Aplets and cotlets. A kind of jelly candy made from apples with chopped walnuts, and also apricots with chopped walnuts, lightly dusted with powdered sugar. My grandmother used to have these, 50 something years ago, but they are available online, in several forms.
Ooh, yes, to both of those! So yummy! I also loved the Necco assortments roll (well, everything except the black licorice) but the chocs were definitely the best.
A source for some old time candy is Vermont Country Store.
They’re just this really strange floral flavor that makes you go, “gross… give me another one.”
Yessssss. So waxy and bad. Why so good?
Swiss Fruits. They’re flavored like individual fruits and inside they have a chalky-yet-sugary texture. Slightly but not completely chewy. Its a really unique texture. Very hard to find!
That’s my go-to easy to find. When possible my first choice is Mallo Cups – especially the Smoothie Cups.
Banana flavored Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy.
Yes, it was gone for many years - it is back.
There are already links to Vermont’s and oldtimecandy, so get busy.
Another vote for Walnettos
I like chewy candy.
I think I might have been the only child in the history of Trick-or-Treating to have been happy to receive Mary Janes.
I like Sixlets, which are sort of like M&Ms only not quite.
When I was little my mom used to love Abba-Zabba. I didn’t like them unless they were frozen, at which point they were good. You had to eat them fast, though. They used industrial-quality taffy that would pull your teeth right out of your head if they weren’t frozen solid.
I also like some British candy, like Galaxy Minstrels and Curly-Wurly bars (which are basically 3/4-scale Marathon bars, but they don’t make Marathon anymore).
I like European candy. Schoolkrijt (licorice “chalk” sticks) is a favourite.
Brach’s Cinnamon Imperial Hearts. I usually can only find them around Valentines Day. I could eat a whole bag.
Also, Whoppers brand Malted Milk Balls. No other brand will do.
Hot Tamales. Ooh, now I really want some.
Skor toffee bars.
Flake bars. Flake (chocolate bar) - Wikipedia
