Malt candy...

[gratus fermentatio]

Back in the 60's/70's there was a malt/malt sugar candy that seemed to be LME that was dehydrated even further so it hardened into a hard candy. It was molded into a mini brick shape, was a bit smaller than single "Bit-O-Honey," and was quite tasty. Does anybody else remember this candy? I've searched & searched, but I've never found it.

Next question: If you had access to the above described candy, would you buy it/eat it? Would you enjoy a bit of sweet malty goodness instead of say, a piece of chocolate?
Regards, GF.

I wasn't around until the 80's so I don't recall such a thing.
I enjoy whoppers, sometimes a spoonful of DME and licking the LME from a can or somesuch that it gets on, so yes; I'd probably go for something like that.
I've probably got some spare LME that I could see about cooking into a hard crack form; and if I don't have any spare around I will order some and try it out... Because that sounds tasty.

I did a search and found a recipe for barley malt candy.
I can't eat stuff like that, but it looks good.
