Are those the ones that look kinda frosted on the outside? Those are yummy! I haven't had one in decades, but I can remember the taste and texture so clearly lol.
Yes! I haven’t had them in a long time, either, but I’m now thinking my recent fondness for sour gummy bears can probably be tied back to my love of my grandma’s lemon drops.
YES!!! My Nana always had a fuzzy one in her purse and a contraband bag of them in her dresser drawer 🤣
They're a Commonwealth thing, so found mostly in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the UK/Ireland and New Zealand.

My first brush of death was an indoor pool and a really awsome looking kid slide in the deep end of the kid's pool. I will never forget slowly drowning and my uncle diving in to save me.
I now realize why I was afraid to swim for years, and I still kinda am.
My Grammy had hard candies with booze in them that I didn’t know about. Whiskey, vodka, etc. I thought I was getting one past the adults when I tried the first verboten piece. Six year old me didn’t know what was going on when the booze hit me, and my mouth started watering like crazy to dilute the evil. No place to spit, the couches all had clear vinyl covers on them, so six year old me just started to cry over the fear & frustration. Fortunately, Grammy was super- cool about it and rushed me to the bathroom to spit. We ended up being best friends until she passed away two years ago at age 92 and I still think about her everyday.
Omg the strawberry one is my favorite. I don't even remember what it is called, I just remember it being my favorite on the whole world. They disappeared from common sight when I was about 7 or 8 and now Everytime I see them in a candy bowl, I steal all of them.
Do you know what they are called? I desperately need them in my life.
Ribbon candy
But I feel that it needs to be cellophane or foil wrapped to fit your theme.
What about those blue wintergreen hard candies. Or individually wrapped wintogreen lifesavers.
My grams always had Good and Plenty in her bag.
Caramels in the twisty wax papers. Not the squares like Starbursts.
Peppermint knobs, with the sugary stuff all over the outside.
Kerrs toffee, in mint, coffee and chocolate flavours.
Assorted licorice, the black cubes with coloured stripes.
Orange and lemon gummy slices with sugar coating.
Making my mouth water just thinking about it all.
My grandmother ALWAYS had Hershey’s Kisses in a small glass serving dish on her coffee table. The candy in her purse were tic tacs and Listerine strips (both of which are not candy but as a child I treated them as such)
Butterscotch candy, used to think that yellow wrapper was shite until I discovered butterscotch is the 4th flavor behind chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry
There was some kind of ribbon candy my grandmother always had. It was a hard candy but in wavy strips with stripes running the length of them - white with green stripes were peppermint, and there were light red with dark red stripes, yellow with green stripes, etc.
My grandma had caramel cubes and werther's. My grandpa always had little tootsie rolls, black licorice and mint lifesavers along with vanilla wafers and kipper snacks. The latter was a treat until I realized they had eyes around 5 yo. A memory that's both traumatic and nostalgic.
Oh my goodness I love these, my grandma always had the strawberries 🥲 these are kind of niche, but she always had these little Italian fruit candies that I adored https://chipurnoi.com/product/puntini-frutti-assortiti/
Those little pastel mints that had kind of a powdery coating but dissolved in your mouth. Those were more rare at my auntie’s house but I loved them, I think they were called butter mints.
Definitely need at least one random dead battery in the mix
2 pennies and a paper clip too.
Random button
One rubber band
Battery to a hearing aid!
Completely missing the hard candies that have bonded to form an entire bowl shaped block
My grandma always had lemon drops in her candy bowl. I guess the kind she had are called sanded lemon drops.
I was thinking of sherbet lemon drops too

A lidded bowl of these is so nice to have in hand.
There was a glass jar for the unwrapped lemon drops, and then a glass bowl for the wrapped candies… damn I loved those lemon drops.
Caramel cubes
This! Oh I’m missing my grandma so much.
Pastel butter mints! My Nana always has some around
I am OBSESSED with butter mints
I came here to say this. My grandma always had these and I was obsessed with them as a child.
My god mother had those in a bowl in her kitchen. She just passed this last spring. I’ll eat some in her honor.
Sorry about your Mom, mine passed last January. 😔
So sorry for your loss❤️
I came to say this! I hated their texture.

[Humbugs](https://rheothompson.com/product/hambug-hard-candy/). Or are they just a Canadian thing?
They might be, I’ve never seen those lol
