    Mine are Brown & Haley’s ALMOND ROCA® Buttercrunch, followed closely by White Chocolate Almond Bark.

    It is a good thing I don’t have much of a "sweet tooth", as I couldn’t afford them if I did! At Christmas time my Grandmother, Mom, and I used to make a wonderful butterscotch caramel treat which was wrapped in little twists of wax paper. Loved those, but they are very labor intensive, and I haven't done them for donkey's years.

    Good call on the ROCA's Clint... those are soooo good. I don't have much of a sweet tooth either, but some in small portions are heaven. Nothing like making sweets and food w/ the fam... especially Moms and Grandmothers!

    I remember a great one when I was a kid many years ago, three big red balls they were and as you suck them the red layer went for a white layer that was real hot, spicy in fact! :eek:

    You had to keep sucking to get back to the next red layer and they went soft to wards the end. Never seen them around today, like a lot of classic sweets. Can you still get cola bottles? there like wine gums but shaped like a cola bottle and yes they tasted of cola.

    Richard-yes cola bottles are still around...yum...

    I like anything sour...those million things are nice (Though they get everywhere, still not sure how you eat them- pour them onto your hand then into mouth or tip the packet into your mouth).
    Recently they had these "Toxic Waste" stuff, but they got rid of them due to health risks, but by God where they sour!
    Some of them had you cringing! It was a test of strength to see how many you could eat at the same time...

    On the "chocolaty" side...I would have to go for (actually, kill for) Mini-Eggs, Walnut Whip and the Re-Released Whispa Bar.

    As for "suckables"...Mint Humbugs, Butterscotch and Jelly Babies...Mmmmm!
