OT: Favorite Candy

[Ash]

I can't even begin to imagine how many tons of candy I've eaten since I was a boy.

I was curious...what's your all time favorite candy?

Is it a candy bar or is it something other than that?

I guess it could be divided into 2 categories....candy bars and regular confections.

I would have to say that my all time favorite candy bar is a toss-up between Snicker's Cruncher and Caramello.

Regular Nestle's Crunch runs a close 3rd.  
My only complaint with Nestle's Crunch is that the chocolate can be a bit bland.
They need to make those things a little more rich in flavor.
I sometimes let all the chocolate from a Nestle's dissolve in my mouth until there's nothing but a bunch of rice left then I chomp it up.  I'll bet that a few of you have done that as well right?
Hehe!

Same thing with Twix.
It MUST be peanut butter Twix and I try to scrape al the chocolate and peanut butter off with my teeth until it's nothing but the cookie.
I'll tell you what, those cookies that they use in Twix are kickass!
If they made boxes of just those long thin cookies with no chocolate or anything else on 'em...just plain, I'd definitely buy them.
They sort of taste like those cookies for babies....what're they called?
Zweiback cookies, that's it!  They taste like those.
Or they also taste like those round baby cookies that have a hole in the center and are flower shaped....know what I'm talking about?
I think Gerber makes them.
Good s**t!  Yum!

Those big Wonka chocolate bars with the graham cracker bits embedded inside them are tasty too!
Most everything made by Wonka is pretty good in my opinion.
Nerds rule!
Just don't eat them right after you've brushed your teeth....yuck!

I would have to say that my favorite non-candy bar type candy would most definitely be anything Gummy.

Gummy bears, worms or aliens....I don't care which...they're all awesome.
The Black Forest brand of these seems to be the overall best.
They're not too soft and not super chewy....they're just right.
I also always hold them up to the screen at the movie theater to determine their color and the white ones are my favorite!
I have to be careful how many of those I eat though...they're LOADED with sugar and after eating about 50 of them, I'm wired to the max!

Lately at the movie theater I'll take my pocket knife and a block of cojack or sharp cheddar cheese...its cheap and definitely healthier.
I refuse to pay the insane prices they charge in the theater lobbies.

What's your favorite candy and do you have any bizarre ways that you eat certain kinds like I do?

MMMMmm..candy.
Lets see..Junior Mints..Fastbreak..Reeses peanut butter cup..Midnight Milky Way...Heath bar..Farleys Gummi Worms..Farleys Cinnamon discs..Farleys Orange slices...Hersheys chocolate...Peppermint Patties..Jolly Ranchers.

Gummy orange slices, Reese's peanut-butter anything but FastBreak (those suck), I'm going to spell this wrong, but those Ferro Roche chocolate hazelnut things, and just good ol' fashioned plain milk chocolate.  Dark chocolate is icky.  Too bitter.  Oh, and I'm one of about 3 people in the world who like circus peanuts.

I like most anything that isn't  chocolate.  But my favorite is Bit O' Honey.

[Mr. Hockstatter]

Hershey's with almonds.  You bite into that creamy milk chocolate, and then just when you thought it couldn't get any better, an almond!  Oh man, there's no words to describe it.

I also like Heath bars, with the hard carmel stuff inside.  And Snickers bars from the refrigerator.

[Ash]

Hershey's with almonds are alright....I just don't like when the almonds bits get stuck in my teeth....they do everytime!

I've also noticed that Hershey's chocolate seems to be liked primarily by Americans.
People that I talk to in other countries such as Australia and the U.K. hate the taste of it...I'm sure that some DO like it but I have yet to meet one who does.
They were all raised on Cadbury which is excellent tasting chocolate.  It's a bit milder.  
Good stuff!

[trekgeezer]

Baby Ruth,  baby!  And for a really special treat  Hersheys Special Dark Chocolate!

Mmmmmm, circus peanuts.

[Lee]

Those circus peanuts are damn tasty. Chocolate oranges kick ass. But I'd have to say my all time favorite is Butterfinger. MMMMMMM

[Ash]

What is the difference between circus peanuts and regular peanuts?

I like Butterfinger but that orange stuff stick in my teeth!

[Ellie]

Circus Peanuts are made up of sugar..they are orange in color and very sweet.

[Brother Ragnarok]

They're kinda fluffy and nougatey, and the only resemblance they bear to real peanuts is the mold the fluff is poured into is shaped like a peanut.  I have no idea why they did it, but they did, and it's tasty.

Brother R

[Ash]

Oh those things....YUCK!!!

I've hated them since I was a kid.....they're NASTY!

Blech!

[raj]

I'm not sure I want to know what they're made from, sugar, chemicals, soylent green.  They're just yummy.  Orange is my favorite.

I loved Twix/Peanut Butter Twix. My other favorite is reeses peanut butter cups. But's been a while since I've eaten a normal twix. MMMM peanut butter.
