Now and Later& Original Taffy Chews Candy, Grape, 6 count, 0.93 Ounce Bar, Pack of 24

Q: How many actual square candies come with this?

In one box there are 24 packs in each pack there 6 square candies so the total would be 144 pieces hope this helps thank you MrCandyShop

Q: Why have the prices doubled since the last time i ordered, it is the same item.....price gouging perhaps?

The manufacturer raised all their prices by 38% at the beginning of the year and has issued another price increase of about 5-8%. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hope this helps. Have a SWEET day!

Q: Are these the original hard ones?

I didn't purchase the grape ones--- just the green apple and watermelon. But the box was the same, and the ones they sent me were NOT the original hard ones. They were soft like Starbursts, and the flavors were not quite the same as the originals.
