When I was a kid, Mom used to buy Brach's Mellowcremes this time of year. It got so that we had to buy it every year. It had to be Brach's. It had pumpkins, moons, black cats, bats, corn, haystacks, jugs, cat faces... maybe some others. It tastes like candy corn pretty much, but the yellow ones had sort of a lemony flavor and the brown ones a chocotatly flavor. The jugs had a maple flavor. It is hard to find that assortment anymore. You can buy candy corn and pumpkins, but that's about it. Mom wasn't really into sweets that much, but she liked this candy. I looked for it this year, but haven't found any, so I'm settling for candy corn. I'm on my second bag so far...

I remember this candy! I haven't seen it for years, but reading about it here, I can taste it exactly and it takes me back to those childhood days of October.
