Candy?

Flavor of Jolly Ranchers (I think).
Who knew that when we got all our long lost puzzles back, the hardest part was remembering what they were about? But what a great adventure trying to sort it all out.

Found to have a unique solution by blurglecruncheon.

The red dots need lookahead. R11 C19-20 must be dots or R6 has a red 2. Then, line logic.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

After line logic, I solved it by looking at the various vertical red 5s. There is only one red dot in row 6, so the other 5s must all go down lower and reach down at least to row 11. Then I could logic it through from there.

I solved it in small blocks of time over a couple of days and don't have notes about whether the other colors needed lookahead, but they might have. Red definitely did!
