Favorite Candy (1 Viewer)

[fantasycurse42]

We had a huge pinata in the office for Cinco De Mayo and the remnants (about 10 lbs of candy) are stashed on a bar 20 feet from my desk. I'm trying to get down to 200lbs for the first time since I am 15 and this isn't helping the diet.

Instead of eating the candy, I'll try to talk about what is best of the bunch.

There must be 100 of the small 3 packs of these in this basket. Good call, these are good.

Hot Tamales and Reeses

Skittles out of the top group, but I don't really like that type much.

Voted "other" in the second group (Twix). Kit Kats are pretty damn good though.

Other - Just about anything with Dark Chocolate and I have always liked the Skor bar

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Hooked on:

Snickers

Reese's PB Cups

Twix

Kit Kats

Snickers is the go to. I am not a fat ###, but it is taking its toll.

 

[playin4beer]

That's easy... Pez.. cherry flavored pez.. no question about it.

 

[Timmay]

Sour Patch Kids and Reese's Fast Break.

I used to have a Take 5 addiction that I wrote about on these boards.

I like the "3 pack" the best, that new packaging with a roll like smarties just doesn't have the same appeal to me.

Peanut butter Twix's were the best then they changed the cookie part to chocolate and now they suck

Classic Whatchamacallit was great too, ruined when they added the caramel <_<

I believe it always had caramel in it, no?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Salted Nut Roll

Nut Goodie

Bit-o-Honey

These are BIG up here in Minnesota from the Pearson's Candy Company

 

[rockaction]

Gummi Colas are a surprising and earnestly redoubtable candy.

That is all.

Nope, the original had no caramel

Ms. May's Almond or Cashew Crunch

Green & Black's 85% Dark Chocolate

 

[Aerial Assault]

Skittles, Reese's Pieces

Other: Root beer barrels and lemon footballs

 

[Spock]

Heath Bar's RULE!

 

[jamny]

No gum included? I always have a Dentyne Ice Peppermint on hand.

I don't buy much candy except maybe for a flight I'll but Mentos or Starburst.

Milky Way as a chocolate option.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Voted Mike N Ike and $100K bar

Could have gone with Brach's original Jelly Beans if that had been an option.

 

[Lehigh98]

It's kind of random but I can't open these without finishing the bag.

And I don't even normally like jelly beans that much.

 

[sho nuff]

Mike and Ike

2nd question was harder. Love the classic peanut butter cups (as apparently many others do)...but they fall behind Charleston Chew and Whatchamacalit to me.

Was very hard picking between those and went with the Whatchamacallit.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Starburst leading the charge, slightly surprising...

No surprise on peanut butter cups though.

 

[jamny]

I can never eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups again. I once went to a local beer distributor and they had the mini's on the counter. I bought a few of them.

I ate one whole and then took a bite out of the second one. Just as I was ready to eat the rest of the second one, I saw something moving in it. There were tiny worms in it.

The third one also had worms in it.

 

[The Big Guy]

Two others for me. Smarties and m&m

 

[STBootleg]

These are pretty great too. You don't have to unwrap them! YOU DON'T HAVE TO UNWRAP THEM!

[B Maverick]

Reeses PB Cups are the best, then Kit Katt. Used to love the old school PB twix but they changed it when it came back and not as good...

skittles and starburst if not looking for chocolate based.

 

[Snoopy]

Milky Way midnight. I don't enjoy the regular Milky Way bar as much.

Good one.

But other than buying the full bar...you cannot just get a pack of the minis.

Has to be in one of the variety bags and then you get stuck with a crap ton of crappy Butterfingers too.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Skittles, Reese's Pieces

Other: Root beer barrels and lemon footballs

jeezus, those lemon footballs will take the hide off a horse. They leave your the roof of your mouth worse than a getting the bad end of a super hot X-tra cheese pizza slice.

The second best thing about Easter is the Reese's peanut butter eggs. Yum.

 

[CurlyNight]

No M & Ms??? <_<

marshmallow.........

 

[Christo]

None and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups

 

[Tom Servo]

Peanut M&Ms

Kit Kat

Snickers

That's it.

Same here. Take 5 with the pretzels in it is pretty great too.

Sugar based : other. Wonka Bottlecaps are the bane of my existence. Luckily they're not everywhere, or I would be diabetic for sure.

Lots of rubes here never heard of Swedish Fish. Where's the backlash?

Another write-in for Smarties. Honorable mention, Pixie Stix ... 201 proof

 

[Mr. Ected]

You didn't have an "all of the above option."

I chose other on the sweets. Jelly Beans, just like Ronald Reagan. Love Jelly Bellys. Every once and a while, especially around Easter, we will get one of those huge containers of Jelly Bellys from Costco and they just disappear. Love picking through a handful for flavors.

 

[PaceSetter]

Gotta go with Nerds for sugar-based.

I toured the factory in Wisconsin about 4 years ago. While I don't eat them, the tour was very interesting. If you hit their store, they've got all the flavors. Diabeetus city.
