the yenta – there are some candies that are called “money roll” candies – they look like winkies/fizzies(little round pastel candies wrapped in a roll) but are a little bigger. I forgot who makes them, but they are available in various kosher groceries in Brooklyn. I don’t know your location, so I am not sure if you can find them.
As far as fruit, how about apples, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, saves the expense to go to the doctor. what about peanuts?? (if it is not an allergy issue.)
