Hello everyone,
I have a rather random questions.  When I was little (1970’s, early 80’s) my grandfather would bring home giant gold cans (about the size of a 5 gallon bucket) full of these wonderful hard candies.  There were yellow or red (more yellow in the mix than red).  They were hard and had a sugar coating.  Bigger than an M&M;, more oblong than round.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Melissa

Can you recall the flavors? They sound to me like your basic old fashioned hard candy. Sort of like this shape? http://www.bulkfoods.com/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamCat=18&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&txtsearchParamTxt=2592
