Hey... guess what I discovered? While we were in Memphis we went to the brand new IKEA store there and I bought some storage units and the drawers and boxes that can go in them. One of the boxes is PERFECT for 'candy' storage. It has 12 divided compartments that are 3" square, so you can put your stacks of candies in them easily. They are huge and deep and hold a ton. And... get this... the price: $3.99!
I am in the process of switching my candies over to these storage boxes now, which is a little slow going because I had them stacked by color and they've gotten a bit mixed up over the years. The boxes are called "Tjena", and their catalog number is 602.636.06, in case you want to order some from IKEA.

Box with lid on. These stack nicely.
