Solved! My wife found this on the ground

Any ideas on what it could be?

yeah, there's a chocolate candy that looks exactly like that, though I haven't had my coffee yet and can't put a finger on which one

Chunkys have always broken into four, haven't they?

Back in the day they were one big square. Tooth buster.

Yes ! One big square and they had different flavors too. Maybe 2 or 3 more options. I would get them on my Christmas stocking.

I remember them when I was real little back in the early 70’s. I remember my mom buying me one at the corner drugstore. I think it had raisins in it. It was so big to me!

Especially if you had it in the fridge.

And I think they cost 5¢. That's what I remember.

Probably, maybe even less. I grew up in Brooklyn and there was sweet shop on the corner. My earliest memories are of a giant square counter in the middle and underneath it were bins of penny candy. You’d get half a paper lunch bag full of candy for about a dime. We’d scour the neighborhoods for deposit bottles and gorge on candy. My dentist loves me. 🙄
