Almost an addiction … I also was given horehound candy once while trick-or-treating and finally found them as a teenager when shopping by myself could include a candy store.

I forgot about the candy dots on paper! There was a cute little downtown shop in CA that sold those. Oh, and I do remember the Jolly Rancher thin bars that were like 4 inches long by 2 inches wide and my favorite was cinnamon!Sorry @Dahlia ,DD's would wax nostalic about MOST of those candies.

Tootsie roll pops were one of my favorites to get in my candy bag on Halloween! Thanks for going down candy memory lane!

I too liked the red hots! Never tried the other two. I especially liked to use the red hots for gingerbread house decoration!Red Hots

all of them! i've always had a very dedicated sweet-tooth even if i've not eaten a lot of them for many years i still remember, plus i've made candies of various kinds.
i can also say that my recent samples (Halloween just went by and my brother had some leftover candy he gave to Mom today and she brought it home and i just happened to have gotten up for a snack so i sampled the bag and ate about half of them -- oops) of several candy bars that they are not as good as they used to be. yes, i'm pickier but i also have a good memory of tastes and textures and they're not the same. the only thing that really helped most of them is that i was having some peanuts with them to give them some actual flavor besides sweet.
