There are hundreds, even thousands of types of candy in the world. Some are staples, like gum, chocolate, and gummies. Others are a bit more out there, like candied pickles and honey roasted crickets.

Discuss: Candy.

• What kinds of candy do you love/hate?
• What are some strange candies that you've seen?
• What candies did you used to love but have been discontinued?
• What sort of candies do you wish there were?

Reyo really loves wintergreen flavored life savers. A couple weeks ago I bought a huge bag of them just because I had a craving.

I don't care much for chocolate candies like M&Ms, though. Just something about the crunchy candy shell in addition to the chocolate turns me off. Reeses Pieces are dynamite, though. For some reason, the shelling works with the peanut butter for me.

For a while I'd thought they'd discontinued Hello Panda snacks, but then I found them again at an Asian Market.

I wish there were savory flavored hard candies, like gravy flavor or loaded baked potato flavor.

Ohh...homemade potato candy is the best! Until it is 2 weeks old (gets hard as a rock)
Mashed potato + sugar + Peanut butter + fridge

I'm an "ice cream/pudding" person. Or peanut butter.

Best chocolate: Milka! You have to go to Austria/Germany, eat some ice cream, and have some non-American Milka!

I must now try making this potato candy of which you speak! What are the ratios for the ingredients?

[Lawtan]

1 potatoe - peeled and mushed
2 lbs of powdered sugar - mix with potato into a dough
peanut butter.

potato candy? That doesn't sound to good. D :

Heath Bars & Twix are my favorite main stream candy.

Hm...Skor bars are nice, if only my teeth were more capable of handling toffee. Also, mint-anything. I used to be in love with York patties and Jr. Mints. Nerds-anything's also great.

Peppermint Bark!!!

I love Skor bars, though for toffee I'd say that's pretty easy on your teeth. I used to eat Macintosh toffee all the time. It's a toffee bar we used to whack on a table to break it into little pieces to eat. Haven't had it in a while.

My favourite life savers flavour has to be butter rum, with the little tartan pattern on the outside.

Haven't encountered any weird candies, really. I'm a chocolate bar nut, and one of my favourites, which looks like it's been discontinued, was Max Five. I wanted to buy a Yorkie in England, just to see if the guy would sell it to me. ;)

I like most kinds of candies. I don't really like suckers, and Bit O Honeys, Sugar Daddies, Sugar Babies, or SweeTarts or things like it, though I like Nerds quite a bit. These Target brand fruit rolls that have cherry flavoring are my favorites right now.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like Rockets, but one may as well eat a sugar cube. I do that too. ;)

/That weirdo who doesn't eat candy.

A clementine is candy to me.
Or an apple. + q +

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin Clementine...
