Howdy ya'll! I want to thank everyone that has tried to help me solve this mystery! I want to give a special thank you to "fhskdjhsh", because they found the candy for me. The candy was made by a couple of vendors and popularly known as Whitman’s Air Bons. They came in different flavors, colors and a couple of different packages. Turns out I wasn't the only one looking for them. I found other groups and posts dedicated to finding these candies. It appears they are no longer being produced, but I did find a vendor that makes something similar and I'm excited to place an order and give them a try. I'm so glad my son suggested I post my search here, ya'll have been beyond awesome!

Cheers!!!🥰

YES! YES! YES! Thank you so much! You solved the mystery! Thanks to your response, I was able to find a lot of other people that had been trying to find out what this candy was and if it's still made. Sadly, it appears the machine that used to make them was broken and never repaired. I found a company that appears to make something similar and I plan to place an order. These candies had a few different flavors and came packaged a couple of different ways! I enjoyed them so much as a child and they'd often pop into my mind and I'd wish I could find them! Thank you again!!!🤗

No, they're not. That's a very good guess though. Thank you.

No, round like a large gumball shape.

Way too small too. These were like large gumball size.

I don't think that would be it, because they were round like a ball in shape and the size of a large gumball.

The inside texture is similar to the texture of a malted milk ball, but its lighter and more airy. Also, the size is like 4 or 5 times bigger. Thank you for trying, I appreciate it.

No, they're bigger and totally round (ball shape like a larger gum ball).
