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/.
