What was your favorite oddity, nostalgic snack growing up? It can be anything from your favorite secret baked good your great-aunt made when you'd visit, or anything commercially made as well.
Growing up in Milwaukee, I'd beg, steal, and borrow to get my hands on one of these every day during summer break. They weren't around long, which was a total bummer. I see they got copycat recipes out and about. I'll have to try one of 'em and recreate the totally turtle-licious flavor.

Growing up I wasn't allowed to have any snacks or treats except apples or cheese slices...unless we were taking the relatives from out west around to the historical sites...and there was the Wayside Country Candy Store...which has since moved to Marlborough. It was like an 1800's Country store, with real pickles in the pickle barrels and a Nickelodeon machine, and about a hundred jars of penny candy.
I was always allowed to have penny candy on those occasions, and my favorites were the coconut flavored watermelon slices.
