Candy store memories

Here’s our local old-fashioned candy shop. Goes back decades, used to be in Coney Island. It’s mostly chocolates though. Still worth a visit, and I’m glad it’s there. -

@wtg Personally, I’m fond of their dark chocolate almond bark!

There was a small store near my childhood best friend's house that had a penny candy section. I fondly remember picking out some nutritionally awful but totally delicious (to a kid) treats.
Saw these in a grocery store today and the memories flooded back...
I resisted. Those little sugar beads inside are tooth-breakers.
What were your childhood favorites?

Flying saucers filled with sherbert omnomnomMy favourites as a kid were called crispets which were also in the shape of a UFO and I'd buy a quarter. Crispy milk chocolate with coconut.
No longer available but I think 'Crispy Bits' made in Scotland are the same.Ventosa viri restabit

Morrow’s Nut House here at Lloyd Center in Portland, Oregon. Caramel apples, those roasted cashews, candy. The shop is long gone. The mall is dying. It was the largest open air mall in the US when it opened in 1960. They did a big renovation in the 1990s but things have tanked from there. It’s still a good place to walk, for now.
