Title: Can you identify this candy?
Post by: Greybriar on December 01, 2014, 08:26:11 PM
Does anyone know the name of this candy?

It was one of the candies my grandparents used to buy at Christmas and I never knew what it was called.

No, it's just smooth white filling of some kind although it may have had a bit of coconut flavoring. It's been so many years ago I don't remember what it tasted like other than being sweet.

I don't know why I was thinking Stagger would have the answer.

Seeing that he doesn't, I'm whipping out the google fu.

That's kinda what I found. It's called a chocolate drop and has a vanilla creme filling:
