NECCO wafers are great, just not the black licorice ones.  peeps and circus peanuts for sure Sugar Babies/Daddy Mike 'n Ike (whichever one was pink and white. the fruity colored ones weren't awful) and, for me, anything chocolate. but that's just me. |

Not a fan of circus peanuts. I like the chocolate NECCO wafers, though, and some of the fruit flavors. I know someone who topped a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole with leftover Easter Peeps. It apparently was not an unqualified success and he was asked not to bring that particular dish in the future (though now that I think of it, that may have been his goal all along, so perhaps it was a success).

I agree on Candy corn. I do like some black licorice, but it needs to be the good stuff not the bad stuff. Because of bad licorice and what was selling I used to eat this-  |

Anything bubble gum flavored. Medicine flavored with it was super popular when I was a kid. So freaking gross that I can't stand the flavor to this day.
Gum can be gum flavored. Anything else is an abomination against nature.

Oh no, they've come up with something new. I preferred their red licorice over their black. Regular licorice stuffed with chocolate filling might be good, not sure about the others.   |

Anything else is an abomination against nature. I prefer gum cinnamon flavored or spearmint, but I don't chew gum anymore unless I am flying. |

Black licorice Peeps NECCO wafers Circus peanuts Candy corn. Yes to all of these. I would also add anything "banana" flavored. I love bananas, but have never found a banana flavored candy that tasted like anything like banana. |

Whatever those peanut butter candies are called. You only see them at Halloween in the black and orange wax wrappers. Made by Brachs.
I tried to eat one and it sealed my jaw shut. Glad I didn't have any fillings.

Had to look up circus peanuts. Not sure if I actually had them. I used to like Peeps at Easter, but now I don't want that much sugar at once. I'd much rather have a good chocolate bar.

I'd forgotten about licorice NECCO wafers. I used to like them but have not had them for a long time.
I also like the licorice-flavored jelly beans (the good ones, not the icky ones).

I quite like peeps and circus peanuts! Yes, I like peeps, too. And candy corn, and black licorice. Not of fan of circus peanuts or necco wafers. Personally, I find Bertie Botts every flavor beans to be the worst candy ever. Vomit and ear wax flavored candies...
Not a fan of Ferrero Rocher, I find it pretty meh.
I never got the appeal of waxed bottle candies. But, they still exist so someone must like them.

Oh, I may have tried those before as a kid. If so, not much flavor at all, if I recall correctly. I'll add one of my own--anything with coconut. The only food coconut is allowed on/in is girl scout cookies. Otherwise, coconut is only good for the awesome smell it exudes. |

Glad I didn't have any fillings. I once lost a tooth from a Swedish fish. It was a baby molar and I was about 10. It would have come out eventually but it wasn’t loose. Swedish fish can get bent too |

Less than a fan on that than you are, and unfortunately it is a favorite option for people giving chocolates to the front desk or to share for the SNF. |
