Candy store memories
-
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?

Sears and Roebuck candy and peanut counter, Coral Gables ... 1960s. I remember it well. The smell of fresh, warm, roasted cashews!

Oh, boy. Do I ever remember those! Whenever my dad and I went to the Sears on Harlem and North we'd buy a little bag of those cashews. Years later as an adult I used to pop in to the State Street store during my lunch hour. One day I went in and was crushed to learn that they had eliminated the cashew roaster and there were no more to be had. A very sad day....

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. -
