Mine is the caramel creams or bull's eyes! Somehow, I just can't resist the creamy, sugary inside and then the chewy caramel outside! These candies have been around forever! I remember as a child, my dad used to give me 25 cents every Friday when he would get home from work. I would ride my bike to the candy store and fill a small paper sack with these caramel creams, little red fish and anise babies!
I found a little bit of history on them that I thought was pretty neat!
Goetze's Caramel Creams were introduced in 1918. The name explains exactly what the product was (and still is): a caramel jacket with a pure sugar cream center.
Since they look a little like the bull's eye of a target, the nickname was picked up along the way. Many people only know this popular caramel candy by the name Bull's Eyes.

my favs are rolos (have to be frozen) and peanut m&M's.:)
These candies look so good. I wish I was more picky about the candy I eat, but unfortuately I like so many kinds. My favorite is probably chocolate covered fruit (strawberries, raspberries and grapes).
Wendy, I don't like rolos, I can't imagine them frozen, girl! I'm just not a chocolate fan, unless it is WHITE chocolate!
Kary, oh girl... I so could eat some white chocolate covered strawberries and rasberries! I never tried the covered grapes!!!
