I grew up on the far North Side of Chicago and we had an "Affy Tapple" factory in our neighborhood. Best caramel apples on the planet.
But also, during the fall when they were running full out, they'd take all the spillover caramel and salted crushed peanuts and warm it up and pour it into a paper cupcake cup and sell them as "Hockey Pucks" out of the side door of the plant. Payday doesn't even come close.
And Payday's ain't bad. -

THis is such an American thread!
saying that Halloween is becoming a bigger event here. Most of the candy / chocolate you describe I haven't heard of but it's making me hungry!
Tell us about some popular English candies. -

Mrzed, do you remember Klein's Lunch Bars, another (long gone) Pittsburgh treat?
My sister-in-law's office is in the old Clark Candy company factory on Pittsburgh's North Side. -

I remember the Neon sign C L A R K (animated flashing) when illuminated at night.
I lived in the South Hills (near Pleasant Hills clover leaf). My ... things have changed out that way! Don't get there very often. -

I'm going to play candy critic here and list my five favorite and my five least liked (Halloween) candy
My least liked (going from least disliked to most disliked) 5. Mary Janes 4. Laffy Taffy 3. Jelly Beans 2. Dots 1. Mike and Ike
Most liked (ranking from lowest to highest) 5. Nerds 4. Sweet Tarts 3. Mini Hershey's (all varieties) 2. Starburst 1. Tootsie Roll
FWIW, my four front teeth are all implants (hard to tell due to some nice dentistry work) due to an accident I had at work back in October 2009 resulting in the loss of said teeth. My teeth do not respond well to sticky candies, hence my least liked list. -

The Dutch Reform Church-the de facto State Religion of South Africa-felt that Halloween was an "abomination" and therefore was only noted as "All Saints Day". When I came to the United States the idea of going door to door seeking hand outs smacked of begging which I was bred to think was very declasse. To the extent that I refused to go about doing this and wearing costumes....no. For fancy dress balls, yes, but to wear parading down the High street, no. Asked to wear a "typical" "costume" of South Africa I wore my usual short, baggy cargo shorts, a rough shirt, open throated, short boots and heavy wool socks-to prevent viper strikes. Asked what I was supposed to be I responded, "A Boer"....Many already thought I was although not with my definition.
