Be aware there are different candies with the same name.
Smarties can mean a chocolate button candy with a hard, glossy shell,
similar to M&M's. I remember them as having more pastel colors than M&M's.
They are popular outside the US.
Smarties can also mean small, tart button candies, with the texture of chalk
or aspirin, wrapped in groups of 15-20 in clear cellophane. These are the
junior cousins to Sweetarts, which come wrapped in a foil stick (or a box if
you buy in bulk).
Other good candies to try:
Runts - small hard candies, with bright, glossy colors. They are shaped
vaguely like miniature fruit (well, at least you can recognize the banana
shape). In fact, most of the Wonka brand candies are pretty colorful -
Gobstoppers, Tart 'n' Tinies.
Spree - these are closely related to the Sweetart family, but they come with
a glossy shell, also in bright colors.
