I've acquired my own taste for Circus Peanuts and some other strange candies.
I happen also to like:
Mary Janes
Necco Wafers
(BOTH now by Necco)
Candy Corn
C.Howards Violet Candy
anything licorice
Annabelle'sTM Rocky Road
the two chicken candies (LOL)
Peeps
Chick O'Stick
All of those among the oddball nostalgia candies plus the usual "cool" Hersheys/Mars/Nestle etc.
