This could be encrypted with any key length that is equal or longer than 28 characters (sum of lengths of ciphertext you provided) and as such unsolvable. The character variation between the plaintext CANDY VERY CRANBERRYhttphttp and its ciphertext TXOtWjYhVk 8&O$4AmSAcZf.r5Hz is:

There is one mcrypt which is a command-line utility and library for file encryption; and another mcrypt which is completely unrelated, and appears to be a direct rip-off of TrueCrypt, which is an implementation of an encrypted filesystem (and that rip-off might be illegal and/or malicious as well). GnuPG is an implementation of the OpenPGP standard, which ...

If I understood your question correctly, you're trying to generate an AES key using AES and the user password as a key, then use that key to encrypt an RSA key.
Granted, AES will give you a very indistinguishable ciphertext that you can use as an encryption key if you wanted. But AES isn't really a password-based key derivation function, mainly because it's ...
