Simple yet awesome.

Still love them.

Reese Cups!!!!

Koz

Or Mounds

My siblings loved trick or treating with me because I'd give them everything not dark chocolate in exchange for their dark chocolate. I ended up with far less candy, but I got the kind I wanted.

Who doesn’t think Snickers are the best. Chocolate, caramel, nuts oh my!

Hated candy corn.

Snickers, Reese's peanut butter cups, & peanut M&Ms. I had to keep my dad from appropriating my Halloween candy! He figured it was his fee for taking us trick or treating.

Both made by Holloway, now by Hershey. Haven't seen a Slo Poke in years but
they're still making Milk Duds.

They were mine, all mine. No sharing!

Still the superior choice in my life. Though Whoopers ranked quite high (and still do, I just bought a box).

My neighborhood Kroger put them right in my face on the way to the checkout, I am helpless!

They still are.

I liked the full size ones.

zagnuts were rare.

Now that I am older, it's Heath Bars all the way.

Used to bake fresh butter cookies every year! Back in the day when you could do that.

Come on y'all. Didn't anyone else LOVE these deadly, devilish, sweet, smooth, yet nonetheless crunchy treats?

An old standard favorite was Hersheys w/ Almonds.

Snickers!

Back when they were the size of mountains.

They should call them Molehill bars now.

Not that I threw the other stuff away.

The large size Chick-o-Stick.

I loved the dark chocolate. But I loved the coconut even more. It would get stuck in my teeth, and it would work its way out again so I could chew on it later, like a cud.

Had a couple neighbors that handed those out. Also one that gave out homemmade popcorn balls. Loved those! Kids won't get those any more.

Still love them, throw into hot chocolate.

Squirrel Nut Zippers, too!

It may have been the first time I ever had darker chocolate!
Since I was pretty little 7 or 8 yrs old...it wasn't like I was going to the candy store, and buying like, Mounds, York Peppermint Pattie - the 2 dark chocolate candy bars I can think of.

The only other possible incidences would have been chocolate?bon bons gift packages my parents would occasionally receive- that had some dark chocolate items. But I don't know if they got them when I was that young.

And we always got more candy going to our North Jersey cousin's town, than our apt building! 😄

With how hard they were.
