7 Nostalgic Christmas Candies, Do You Remember These?

I didn't mind the milk chocolate santas, but they were missing the peanut butter.  It was a glorious day when Reese's decided to start making their candy bars in shapes!

These were very popular (at least with my mom).  Again, I turned up my nose because there wasn't any peanut butter involved.  She even tried to entice me by buying high class Russel Stover santas.  Evidently I was a hard to please kid!

I tried to like these, I really did!  I didn't mind the individually wrapped filled strawberry hard candies though.  Still not peanut butter and chocolate though!

We ALWAYS had these and I could usually find some favorites like lime or grape.  But, there was always those mishaps when I would end up with an "icky" flavor and have to spit it out.  Seriously, how do you describe the flavor of a piece of lavender candy other than "icky" when you're 6?

Ok, half way there.  These candies DID have chocolate in them, it was the "straw" part I wasn't fond of.

There's a story behind these.  We heated our home with oil and during the holidays when the oil man would make a delivery they would give us a box.  I doubt that they do that anymore and frankly, I don't mind.  Remember these?  You'd bite into them and the clear liquid that surrounded the cherry would squirt out.  Um, yeah....not a fan.

Looks festive, I'll give ya that.  I absolutely adore Peppermint Bon Bon ice cream, but unless it's gum peppermint anything isn't my fave.  However, if you remember Hot Air Candy I liked that, but again it involved chocolate.
