ajzepp Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) I've never been a huge candy guy, but there are some that I have a sweet tooth for from time to time. One of my favorite candies - Mike and Ikes - recently underwent an upgrade to their ingredients or whatever. The package says "now with real fruit juice", so I'm assuming that was the main change...but whatever they did, these are even more delicious than before. If anyone decides to pick some up, I highly recommend goign with the pouch over the box. They are much fresher in the pouch. Also, for those of you who shop on Amazon, I highly recommend the gummi peaches from Haribo. Haribo is a German candy company that has been around forever (and like that infomercial guy says, we all know the Germans make good stuff) and these are pretty amazing creations. If you like grapefruit, they also have a gummi grapefruit candy that is pretty remarkable, as well. What are some of your favorite candies? Edited November 19, 2013 by ajzepp
ajzepp Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 Jelly beans Any particular brand? Jelly Bellies?
BuffaloBill Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Any particular brand? Jelly Bellies? Not Jelly Bellies .. They are ok. I much prefer good old fashioned Brach's JB's.

ajzepp Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 Gummy life savers all day. For Halloween, our apartment complex gave out some of those to the residents. They were the larger once and had like a sugar coating on them. I haven't been able to find them anywhere since they gave them out, but WOW those were good.
Chef Jim Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 This is a great thread idea. Unfortunately you guys had to ruin it by talking about gummies.
ajzepp Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 We can make room for your fancy high-brow gourmet candy, Chef...go ahead, let it rip. Arm! Well played

Sorry we all ain't wearing our fancy pants in San Francisco. Gummy life savers are great ! What sort of goodies does your haberdasher make for you ? Edited November 19, 2013 by Ryan L Billz

GOBILLS78 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Whatchamacallits and Red Vines. Everything else can FO.
Maury Ballstein Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Whatchamacallits are moneybags McGee as well. Agree
ajzepp Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 I haven't had a Whatchamacallit since the 80s
Quester74 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Ferraro Rocher.. also a big fan of Swedish Fish
BringBackFergy Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Reeses PB Cups. Second place is PayDay Wait, are we talking candy bars or little candies?? Root beer barrels if just candies (although those Brachs caramels with flavor were always good...raspberry, maple, butter rum, vanilla...my Grandma always had them and they were a treat. Great memories.)
