Is there a candy that takes you instantly into a happy, childlike state?

I was shopping today in CandyTown, USA and it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

Everybody in the store was an adult and everybody was talking to each other, exclaiming joy and disbelief as they found their long-lost favorites. I noticed that all the display shelving is very tall which adds to the feeling of returning to childhood.

I shrieked with delight when I found a shelf of Zots! (Tart hard candies with a bubbly sour powder in the center) I’m all of 9-years-old again!

And so I sit, happily going into a sugar coma, wondering what sweet treats take you back? What would put a smile on your face?
