With the exception of your disagreement wrt the salt, That's what I said @LilLamb happy77
I have never been to the old country - All that wound up in me by osmosis through my Dutch family in Chicago, Wisconsin, and Michigan (and points between). I am 3rd gen American and half purebred Dutch (Freislander, or high country). :beer:
So I come by it naturally.

Mine as well. I mix them with candy corn.
As far as chocolate candy, I can't choose a favorite. I never met a chocolate candy bar I didn't like. :laugh:

This is interesting, @roamer_1 . I guess I've never had "real" licorice. When I was a kid we had the licorice whips. And the black jelly beans are all mine, lol.
I may have to look on Amazon to see if I can order the real thing.

Depends upon the refinement of your tastes I reckon @berdie ... Kinda like beer - Good beer is wasted on me - Give me cheap crappy beer and I will be fine. I find no measurable difference in Pilsner beers... So a PBR or a Kokanee, or a Rainier is fine with me, and no need to spend any more. Though a dark ale is a different thing...
But if you have a taste for black licorice, yes, indeed, try a northern European source, and the Netherlands particularly.

As to the rest, tarty stuff like sweettarts or skittles... Jellys to a lesser degree... chocolate is fine. Nougat and nuts... But I am without a doubt a caramel guy.
Brach's Milkmaids or Royals are probably my all time favorite. I can eat em by the pound.

Candy corn....yummmmmm! I love any of the things you mentioned...sadly sometimes I have a fear that a skittles or caramel will yank a filling out....old age sucks!
