When I think of root beer, my mind immediately jumps to the little root beer barrel candies that I've enjoyed since I was a child. In fact, the mere thought of them makes my mouth water!

So, at the risk of being labeled as a "lightweight", are there any rootbeer brands that taste like the little candies?

(Better find those flame retardant pants....!)

Hmmm...since the candies were made to taste like the brands, it shouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for. One brand made into candies is A&W.

I was a child before 1960 when sassafras was banned by the FDA and I distinctly remember that those barrel shaped candies tasted like sassafras, more so than any rootbeer of that time.

But, I don't know what the modern version of those candies taste like.
