Here some MRE Candies I found in rush in my basement :) :

The MUNCH bar was part of Menu No. 12 Bean & Rice Burrito DoP 2000.
The MILK CARAMELS was part of Menu No. 3 Chicken Stew DoP 1989.

Norge, you know I have much more “vintage” MRE-Candies, but they are sealed e. g. in Accessory Packets B, C, and E DoP 1981-1985. They are collectibles I will not open :oops: , I guess you understand, although I would also be curious :wink: .

I remember CHOCOLATE FUDGE and VANILLA FUDGE. They were very, very sweet, contain much sugar!

Here is a great side that shows some MCI-Candies, they are also very interesting:

Sorry, norge, that’s the only one I have :( . I “saved” it during a hiking tour as I opened Menu No. 12 Bean & Rice Burrito DoP 2000. At that time I saw the MUNCH bar for the first time :o !

But here I found some additional MRE-candies :D :

The elder MRE-candies are more interesting, they were not commercial as today :cry: !

I got the TWIZZLERS candy loose with serveral MRE parts, so I can´t say 100 percent that it is out of an MRE, but for 99 percent I´m sure :) !
