Do you have a favorite "candy you ate as a kid" story? Share it here.

I made my timely appearance in the early 50's, one of 6 children. My Mom was a School Custodian and my Dad was a Coalminer. Our budget was very tight at home and we were always on the lookout for something good at a good price.

We had our lunches packed by our Mom and we got some change to get a snack after lunch. After I left the school lunchroom, I would go to the little country store across from our school. There were so many tasty treats there to choose from. I didn't want to hurry to pick something special, I always took my time. After careful consideration, I would choose the most wonderful candy in the showcase, which had to be Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. Of course there was only vanilla at first.

We had a brick school building, so I would take the Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy in the palm of my hand and hit it on the bricks of the school building. I carefully opened the package and took a piece of the melt in my mouth goodness. It was so smooth in my mouth and it lasted for along time, which with a limited amount of money, it was just what I needed. I was so happy when they decided to make it in strawberry, banana, and chocolate. I have wondered for years where this delightful candy went to. The store closed down years and I had no idea where to even look for it. ~ Edna from West Virginia

Average Rating    Blast from the Past vanilla taffy   For Father's Day I ordered this product. It shipped and arrived in less than 2 days! WOW! My father was so surprised. He is 71 years old and we sat and ate the candy while he relived stories from his childhood. Could not believe the original packaging still being used and the taste was an A+!   Reviewed by:  Kimberly Zornes from Ironton, Ohio. on 6/22/2011 Bonomo's Turkish Taffy   I gifted this Taffy to both of my daughters who never tasted it. I ate it as a youth and never forgot the enjoyment and wanted them to experience it. They devoured it and prompted me to reorder it for them. Glad to see it on the market once again. Thank you.   Reviewed by:  Ralph S. from West Islip New York. on 6/16/2011 Bonomo   The vanilla turkish taffy is just like i remembered as a child. I froze it and cracked it, wonderful.   Reviewed by:  Suzan from long island, ny. on 5/18/2011 turkish taffy   This is my 2nd time ordering these delish candies, however this time they were very stale.
