Wartime chocolates (candies)

[hardy49]

A friend of a friend is writing a book and would like to know what boxes of chocolates or sweets a GI would have been able to buy during WWII

[Wop/tpo]

Babe Ruth candy bars, for certain. Never saw any boxes of chocolates come into the house. Limitless packs of 200
Camels, Lucky Strikes, and Chesterfields.

Many thanks

Have contacted a member of the American 8th Air Force
on this matter. He confirmed Babe Ruth's, and added
Tootsie Rolls. He could not recall boxes of chocs in his PX at Molesworth.

I recall my older sister saying the GI's over here used to hand out Hershay Bars to the kids.
