(107,612 posts)They are probably rarely seen outside the Midwest any more, but I occasionally find them and because of my Dad, remember them fondly:

(5,829 posts)but it slipped my mind until you mentioned it.
I'd have joined here earlier but the 'forum' format confounded me. I didn't get on here until I discovered the chronological 'Latest Threads' feature that let me keep up with things all on one page.

(12,452 posts)I get some and stuff them into my grown kids' Xmas stockings. They are a hit still!
When I visit family in Canada I score some to bring home as well, but I can't do this too often--travel from Hawaii is expensive.

(467 posts)Your recent posts, having nothing to do with politics, are a welcome distraction and I look forward to them as well as the responses.
As a kid, I really liked the Mexican milk candy (leche quemada)
Nowadays, payday bar really satisfies the sweet/salty craving

(7,243 posts)Funny story, well, to me. As a child before I could read, I had a heath bar. I guess someone gave it to me. After that when I would go to the store for a candy bar, I didn't know the name but looked for a similar package. I went through several candy bars until finally one day I found it! The elusive Heath bar! The clouds parted. The sun shone!! I found my favorite candy bar!!

(12,308 posts)I've never heard of a Maple Bun Bar! Is it a local thing?
KitFox
(165 posts)anywhere for years. They were a maple cream filling with pecans and covered in chocolate. They were a flat round shape. The packaging was in a sack shape with a covered wagon on the cover. Now my favorite is Payday or
Chick-O-Stick. Thanks for all the fun ideas for posts!! 😊

(532 posts)If I could only have one, it would be a nice Plain Jane Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar. There are so many good ones today. Another one that is close to the top of the heap is Snickers Peanut Butter. My Wife's favorite is a Regular Snickers.

(26,046 posts)...were the best. I could usually get the counter person to pick out as many pink ones as possible. Also liked Chunkys.
Adult - Reese's peanut butter cups are #1 and Jr Mints as a 2nd.
coconut and chocolate - yumm!

(3,971 posts)The grown ups, thought I was allergic. They tried to substitute licorice. I spit out and nearly barfed all over for that stunt.
At any rate, once I was old enough to walk to the corner store, I got Butterfingers, Chunkies with fruit and nuts in them, Skybars, and Junior Mints. In liked all them.
A candy bar cost 5 cents, then kept going up, in price to a dime and beyond.

(9,372 posts)Heath Bar then and now!
Chocolate and hard toffee - c'mon..........It just doesn't get better than that.
