If you're serious, can I ask why? I've never met someone who likes them and I'm curious what it is about them that people like.
When I'd spend a summer week at my Grandma's in the early '60s, my cousin would take me to Luke's Store, where a dollar would buy a bag full of candies. Always included was a sleeve of Necco wafers.
I liked the flavors and would try to eat them slowly, but usually ended up crunching through them.
In 2018 when the Necco company went bankrupt, I was traveling a bit for work and would buy bags full wherever I found them. It was a relief when the Spangler company bought the brand and resumed production.
I also like them. Their flavors are very unique compared to other candies, and the texture is too. It's satisfying to crunch them, and the packaging+colors looks nice.

See's Butterscotch Squares or Dark Chocolate Truffles
Salmiakki. Not the kind of similar salted liqourice, but actual proper salmiakki. Haven’t had a variation of that so far that wasn’t amazing and addictive

Dried cranberries coated in chocolate.
I call them crackberries.
I love when people say "like crack" who've obviously never done crack.

Tim Tams
Good thing these chocoheroin Tim Tams are across the globe from where I live, because by now I would probably have died from diabetes.
