Favorite Candy Bar

AprilShowers · July 2003

I just made that shameful trip to the Vending machine for some afternoon sugar. I made it back with a Zagnut mmmmmmm was it good.

What candy bar calls out your name when you see it? Are there any candy bars you loved as a child that you wish they still made?

I would have to say that my favorite candy of all time has to be Reese's Peanut Butter cups. My daily afternoon trip to the vending machine was ruined...they were all gone! I need a chocolate fix! x:'(

I am a choco-holic, there are not too many candy bars that I will refuse and a co-worker has the horrible candy jar with plenty of variety. But my favorite? Thats a tough one, I like Twix a whole lot and Kit Kats. But I think I buy Kit Kats more often, something about the cookie part makes me believe it is healthy food.

April, do you realize what you are doing to all those kind people who are talking about their diets on the other threads?

I like it, I love to entice dieters with goodies.

HRCathy · July 2003

MMmmmmmm....chocolate. Remember the Marathon bar?? They don't make them any more. Now, I will settle for just about any kind of chocolate. My desk right now is filled with Reese's peantu butter cups and York peppermint patties.

rad · July 2003

I'm one of those dieters...I guess the Kit Kats are why I can't kick these last 5 lbs!

At Christmas, they did a holiday run of Kit Kat bars covered in dark chocolate - I was in heaven! I like Hershey's Special Dark and Mounds bars too - the darker the chocolate, the better!

NicoleLee · July 2003

They still make those kit kats with dark choc....they also have white chocolate...I have never tried either, so I will take your word about their yumminess!

Not being a huge chocolate fan (I prefer salt over chocolate!), I can usually go without. But I live in the city where Esther Price is headquartered, and I live 1 mile from the factory. I simply cannot resist fresh made light chocolate buttercreams! They are about the closest thing to heaven ever! My other favorite candy bar is a PAYDAY (of course because of the sweet and salt mix, plus, no chocolate!)

nicolelee,

Three or four times a year I make a 250-mile round trip to the Esther Price factory to stock up for my husband (and me-and the kids). My husband loves the Esther Price cashews too - they sell them in 1/2 and 1 lb. bags.

If you like dark chocolate, you have to try Dove's Dark Chocolate Bar. I love the Dove Truffle Eggs but I can only find them during the Easter season. I'll pass if only milk chocolate is available.

I really prefer gummies - bears, worms, hearts, dinosaurs, Dots, JubeJels - any of that chewy kind of candy. I like fruit flavored candies.

Almond Joy candy bars OR Special Dark candy bars.

As long as we're talking about some candy that they no longer make, check this out. Last Christmas I visited this website and ordered 5 five lb boxes of Old Fashioned Candy and it was the best Christmas presents. My grandma and parents were thrilled when they opened theirs!

Remember wax bottles? Wax lips? Marathon bars? Sugar daddies? I can't remember anymore, but I think each box has over 70 separate items.

No I don't get commission from this web page, but go check it out for giggles. Let me know what you think.

I like Sky Bars. They're hard to find these days and I miss them!

System · July 2003

I love Toblerone bars. I really love those Payday bars. My favorite childhood candy bar was the Charleston Chew, the vanilla ones. I rarely find those! I have braces, though, so no nuts, no caramel, and no crunchy candy, either. Good for the waistline, but when the cravings hit, it's hard to find a substitute!

DeidreFR5 · July 2003

You can order them from the Vermont Country Store - but I refuse to say how I know this (Weight Watchers may be watching).

HS · July 2003

I'm a dark choclate fanatic myself...

Love the new dark choclate peanut butter cups, Milky Way dark (midnight), Dove dark choclate, Hershey's special dark (and their limited edition kisses), Gertrude Hawk dark Choclate

But Lindt, by far, has to be my favorite...they have this dark choclate mint truffle that is to die for! Oh and this brand my mom had me try, (has an E engraved on it, think it's Ethel M?) They make a melt in your mouth dark choclate with lemon creme!

Thanks, now you've made me hungry and just added 10lbs to my hips for thinking about it!

scottorr · July 2003

I can not turn down Lyndt's white chocolate truffles. I some times wonder if its even better than.........Not really, but it is a close second place!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-17-03 AT 03:14PM (CST)[/font][p]Almond Joy. Really like those chocolate bars the kids sell for Little League or whatever with the almonds in them.

Bun Candy Bars - Miss them terribly. Haven't had one since I left Illinois in 1968.

Ruby Tuesday · July 2003

I'm not a big chocolate eater but when the urge overcomes me I usually choose a butterfinger or snickers bar.

When you're at the movies and you buy your popcorn include Reese's pieces cuz it goes great together.

Whatever · July 2003

When I was a kid, it was frozen turkish taffy. Loved to slam unto the table and hear it break into pieces. Today, I guess it is M&M almonds.

psrcello · July 2003

I loved the frozen turkish taffy too - banana was my favorite, vanilla a close second!

Sally · July 2003

My favorites are Reese's Cups and Nestle Crunch bars. I have to admit, though, I look forward to my children getting Mary Janes at Halloween so I can have a few. When I was a kid for some reason that was the only time I ate them, so I associate them with Halloween--Mary Janes and Candy Corn.

WOCO Frank · July 2003

The mention of Marathon bars brought back memories... I also love Milkshake bars. And I have to agree, the darker the chocolate, the better.

Those of you interested in the candy of yesteryear might enjoy going to this website and maybe ordering some...

Someone mentioned the Bunn. This was great and I haven't seen it in years. When I want salty, I go for payday. I will eat anything with dark chocolate! Frozen Snickers are great.

scantey · July 2003

Hands down I miss the Reggie Bar- MMM- I can almost taste it

HRQ · July 2003

Heath bars are addictive.

Parabeagle · July 2003

Toss-up for me between the Mars Bar and Snickers. x:-)

Baby Ruth! I need stuff in my chocolate!

I love just about all chocolate, except when coconut is included. But childhood candy, wow. Does anyone recall the Willy Wonka Scrumpdilliumpsous (spelling is incorrect)bar? It was like a peanut buttery or toffee type crunchy filling covered chocolate. I also liked Marathons.

Zanne · July 2003

You all can have your chewy, dark, delicious chocolate.

Give me resturant salsa and chips.

(Or maybe once in a while a Reese's cup or a Snickers bar)
