I love runts

These things have a fruity taste that is unplaceable as any real fruit I have ever tasted. They have a distinct extra crunchy chalk like texture. The red ones taste mostly like red food coloring. I know what you are thinking "all of those things combined sound awful, unpalatable, and just disgusting" but runts, which are all of those things and more, manage to come out on top and blasting with deliciousness.

As a kid I thought these were the greatest but as an adult they aren't my favourite. The taste reminds me of candy Rockets, powdery and lacking flavour. The shapes are adorable and they are fun for kids but I think I'll pass :)

I have always loved these ever since I was a kid and I spent most of my childhood digging the bananas from these candy boxes, delicoius hard candies that come in all the flavors of different fruits

Yeah.....not a fan of runts. They are too tiny and very gritty. They stick to your hands and fall all over the place. The packaging is cute....but that's about it.

My favourite candy! Banana is my absolute favourite. Always at the dollar store.

Runts are one of my favorite candies! I love all the flavours and it's so much fun that they are shaped like fruit. The red ones are my favorite. Super good candy to have at the movies of when you have a sweet tooth craving.

This is a classic candy from my childhood to present. However lately I have found it harder to find my candy. I no longer find it in smaller boxes and only find these big boxes, which simply has too many candy for me to eat in one sitting. I do not want to eat more then I set out to consume and I do not like keeping open boxes or bags of candy or chocolate. I find the flavor changes after a couple days. As well when I lived in some sketchy buildings, anything sweet would bring out the bugs and I have a habit of anything I open, I eat and do not try to close up and store due to fear of bugs. I no longer live or experience bug issues BUT that habit of "small package for sweets/snacks" is still alive, and my favorite candy RUNTS, is best enjoyed in a small package to fit my life style and comfort.

Runts (also known as Fruit Runts) are hard candies sold by Nestle under their Willy Wonka Candy Company brand. First seen on the market in 1982, these candies are in the shape, color and flavor of a selection of fruits. Original Runts have a hard candy shell with a somewhat powdery center (the center being the consistency of the more-familiar Sweet Tarts). I have loved these candy forever. I have some wonderful memories of runts as a girl, and still enjoy them every now and then still. I try to keep treat night to Saturdays, I love when I pick these up, they still excite me. I love Runts always have always will, the orange are my favorite. If you have not tried runts, give yourself a wonderful treat. I am a penny candy junkie, and this is definitely one of my weakness. Can't help it, I have these at least once a month and have for years.
