You used to eat N*gga Babies? My mom told me she had them in the 1960s and 1970s when she was a kid. They were somewhat of a sister candy to Sugar Babies I guess, or maybe just a copycat produced by another company. Similar enough to a Sugar Baby but the caramel was chocolate infused. I wouldn’t think they’d still be selling them in the 2000s, unless they renamed them to something racist but a little less racist like…Coon Babies? Colored Babies? Oh, there were Gollywogs, something that was sold in Europe and Australia more than North America. You might be talking about them or Redmen or something, who’ve both changed their names now. Brigham’s had a Just Jimmies ice cream flavor renamed to Just Sprinkles because someone had a lose theory that New Englanders call those oval shaped sprinkles (especially the chocolate ones) after Jim Crow. There’s really been no solid proof we call them Jimmies because of Jim Crow, but I guess Brigham wanted to play it safe. But my household still calls it Just Jimmies.
These were called “Neekerinsuukko” which translates into “Nigger’s Kiss” and they were sold under that name well over into the 2000’s. It’s basically a chocolate egg with a flat waffle bottom and filled with this white creamy filling.
I’m not sure if you can actually call that “racist” candy as I don’t think whoever made it had any bad intentions behind it. It’s just the name of it that aged a little badly. Nowdays these are just called “Kisses”

They were called chocolate babies in the 80s/90s and think they still go by that name but are no longer made by a major manufacturer
