Your favorite See's candy?

So I'm heading to the East Coast soon and was thinking of little West Coast-y things I could have on hand to give, to say front desk staff, tour guides, FT DOers etc. and if I got hard up for a few things, I could always hit the See's Candies kiosk at the airport.

My faves in no particular order:

-- the rum raisin nougat
-- lollypops (vanilla, I like least)
-- molasses chips

What are yours?

Good answers, guys! Why didn't I think of that?

I've never met a See's candy I didn't like.

I'm not crazy about cream centers, but my favorite was that jelly/marshmallow one you used to be handed as you entered.

You won't See any See's left around here.

Costco has gift certificates for $21 or so for two one pound certs. I've often gotten 1/2 pound boxes made up custom and given them to friends, relatives, and even FAs. They've always seemed to appreciate them.

I don't like peanuts much, so the boxed nuts and chews always have ones that I don't like so much.

I like the Scotchmallow, California Brittle (milk and dark), pecan buds (turtles), rum nougat, blueberry truffle, and dark coconut the best, though almost zall of them are good.They have come out with a sugarfree item or two, lately, but I haven't had time to check them out.

I can't eat it any more, but P-Nut crunch was my all-time fave:
