That "Worst Candy" topic got me thinking about the good stuff that can only be found in specialty stores or via online sellers

There was this one Christmas were my dad got us a whole bunch of discontinued candies from some online store and one that especially stuck with me was Skybar

Skybars are essentially Kit Kats + Three Musketeers. It's a square-shaped chocolate bar that comes in four segments, only instead of wafers each one is filled with a different flavored nougat. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and... I actually don't remember the fourth one. Caramel? Peanut butter? Whatever it was they were some good shit.

Wonka used to have these skittle-esque candies.

They were a bit bigger and chewier. Sooo good.

I think just obscure/odd candy faves of mine are Zero bars and Good n Plentys

5th Avenue, and Squirrel nuts. Not sure if they're no longer available, but definitely obscure. Stopped eating them like 15 years ago.

Where you at? You can buy 5th Avenue bars at the local Piggly Wiggly near me. Theyre my favorite chocolate bar, not having them would be a sad sad life.

Nah, check gas stations if you can't find 'em in grocery stores. But they sell 'em year 'round.

Growing up, I had some Yugoslavian friends who turned me on to Ki Ki candy. My area was fairly multicultural, so you could buy it from the corner store.

The corner store closed down and I moved.

I miss that candy.

Tangy Taffy's still around they just rebranded it, the big chunks of Laffy Taffy that say "stretchy & tangy" on top are the same thing.
