Description
A round candy that was a cross between sweet tarts and smarties. They were in a clear package as I remember being able to see the colors of the candy. Think they may have been made by Wonka Candies. Would love to see a picture of the candy if one can be found. Thanks

i remember puckeroos they were the best. they looked like black powder bullets. theyre were eight in a pack. they were better than sweet tarts.bring them back please.
I was addicted to Puckeroos as a child and ate them like crazy during my first pregnancy in the 80's. These definitely need to brought back. Please!
In the 80's, at recess, I ate puckeroos everyday, purchased for .10 cents! I've never forgotton this sweet treat.
i used to save all my allowance to buy as many as i could! perfect amount of tartiness....maybe they stopped making it for being the size of a choking hazard???
I've told all of my children how as a child I would put a pucker in a dill pickle and suck it all recess! Bring them back :-)
Our local grocery store carried them. I would buy a package every time I went. My favorite were the purple ones. Some were not hardened and practically melt in your mouth. Yum!!!
Oh how I miss these Pukeroos. My favorite was the pink ones. I use to dig through the whole box to see which packs had the most pinks. I think I found one with about 6 of 10 pink and put them all in my mouth at the same time.
Next to the giant sweet tart it was the best candy out there to me. wish i could find them now.
Yeah Marcia I hear that you're great at sucking
got them at shorty's market back in the seventies
