Bit-O-Honey is still around. I still see the "bars" occasionally, but you're much more likely to find the "barlets" individually wrapped in those "assortment packages" of "soft candies." They usually come in the same package with "Bulls-Eyes" and "Slo-Pokes," The wrapper off the one I'm chawin' on now says they're a Nestlé product.

The Bit-O-Honey bits have changed a bit though. They used to be creamy peanut butter and honey, and they've switched them to a sort of semi-chunky p'butter with little gritty things in them. Judging from the label, the "peanut butter" they use now is actually "almond butter," but the flavor's pretty much the same.
