I've been craving candy all day because of this thread. I have a ton of chocolate left over from the holidays, but that isn't what I want.
I'm a chewy, gummi, "tooth breaking" candy person. I don't like to keep much of it on hand either. I can easily polish off a big box in one sitting.
My faves:
*Dots, regular and cinnamon
*Black Crows
*Hot Tamales
*Mike & Ikes
*Jelly Beans
*Milk Duds
*Gummi Smurfs (blue), I can't find these anymore...whaaa!
*Gummi Frogs, the ones with the marshmallow underneath.
*Licorice -- I prefer black over red, but either will do. My all time favorite is grape. I haven't seen the purple licorice in a long time either, whaaa again!
*Sour Punch Straws
*Ferrera Pan candy -- Lemonheads, Red Hots, Jawbreakers, Atomic Fire Balls
*Salt Water Taffy -- This stuff is awesome...I'm so tempted to order a box.

I do love See's Candy too. Their toffee is fabulous!
