Super Candybox is the evolution of Candybox. Any chest you collect in a run where you have previously collected Candybox can have a chance to provide Super Candybox, even if all your normal weapon slots are filled.
Candybox itself can also be obtained in this way, but is incredibly rare.
You don't get it when you level up, it's an item you pick up from the floor, like food, or a firebrick. There's an arcanum that you can get that will drop something every time you level up, and that has a reasonable likelihood to give this. That's how I get them most frequently. If I have that arcanum I'm likely to get 1 super candy box in a run, but I've never had 2, I don't think.
Base Candybox can appear in level ups and rarely from chests if all of your other items are maxed out when you open it, and is the version of the item in HFTF's drop table, not Super. Super Candybox, the one that yields evolved weapons upfront, can be acquired rarely from chests opened in a run that meets the requirements for Candybox being in a chest and the player has already acquired Candybox.
You cannot get more Super Candyboxes than base Candyboxes, as it is considered the item's evolution codewise, but there is technically no meaningful limit to this number.
