In my childhood, my most favorite Christmas candies were "ribbon candy", peppermint sticks, and Hershey's "semi-sweet" chocolates. However my memories of least favorite candies are just as vivid. There was marshmellow based candy that was banana flavored and roughly shaped like a small banana. There was a soft candy probably intended to imitate a kernel of corn, but it was tapered and reminded me of a tooth. It was usually yellow with an orange tip. I think it was called "candy corn". There was a hard stick candy that was dark brown - I think it was based on molasses. This flavor had a distinctive name, which I can't remember.
