PUZZLE #30: Charadagrams 2

PUZZLE #30

CHARADAGRAMS 2

Since Grant Fikes decided to adopt one of my original formats last week (and one day before my birthday, too! Thanks for the birthday gift, Grant, even though it wasn't planned as such!), I've decided to return the favor by adopting one of his formats... again! If you're unfamiliar with this puzzle, here's Grant's original version of it, and here's my first effort at it. Now read on for the directions!

When the answers to the clues in the REBUSES are anagrammed and then assembled, they form the answers to the WHOLES clues. For example, if one of the REBUSES consists of clues reading "[Forearm bone] + [Holy item associated with a saint] + [Telepathy and such]", and a WHOLES clue is “Event in which the Earth casts a shadow”, then the answers ULNA, RELIC, and ESP can be anagrammed and assembled into LUNA/R ECLI/PSE. Both the REBUSES and the WHOLES clues are in no particular order, and you must determine which answer goes in which row of blanks.

The letters in the shaded squares, reading down, will form two words that can be anagrammed and assembled into the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a candy.
