For some reason, the other day when I tapped into my long term memory bank, I suddenly thought of a candy from my childhood "Chocolate Babies". Why did I think of them? I don't know. Chocolate Babies are from the candy corn family, but in chocolate. So I googled Chocolate Babies and actually discovered that they are available on the website http://www.oldtimecandy.com/.

I remember a candy called Chocolate Sponge. It was a honeycomb sugar center swathed in chocolate. Crunchy and delish. But oh, for a chocolate baby.
I don't remember the Chocolate Sponge but it sounds yummy. I always loved all the penny candies....candy dots on paper, red licorice rolled up,sugar daddy and sugar babies. Do you remember Lik-a-Maid? Pure tooth decay!
Do you know that they Bonomo (oh oh oh) Turkish Taffy has been discontinued? I remember the commercial because it played all the time on Channel 9 and 11 in NY.
How about Economy Candy on Rivington Street?
