Bit-O-Honey

Almond taffy bar

Bit-O-Honey is a chewy American candy made from honey and almond bits, sold in small individually wrapped pieces.

The texture is notably sticky and dense, requiring sustained chewing.

Introduced in 1924, it remains a nostalgic treat often associated with Halloween candy assortments: I always traded away the Bit-O-Honeys.
