Interesting to contemplate what criteria exactly is used to qualify one as a candybar "expert"?

My guess is if they mention one you happen to like, that makes them "noteworthy", while two or more makes them an "expert"?
Not that it matters, but none of my faves made the list.

No idea. But definitely a good gig if one can get it.

icecream · 02-02-2023, 06:02 PM

My top 5 are Reese's Fastbreak (while I like the regular peanut butter cups Fastbreaks are a lot better), Hammond's brand midnight snack (needs more widely available), fudge Milky Way, Twix, and the Dippin' Dots candy bars Cracker Barrel used to sell (not any more

).

Yong Fang · 02-03-2023, 12:35 AM

Butterfinger is the best chocolate bar.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (although it isnt a cup) is the only right one on the list. Butterfinger also makes their own.

The Japanese for some odd reason love Kit Kat, because of this, there are many strange flavors we do not see in the USA. This includes wasabi and red bean flavors.

Never had Reese's Take 5 so I'd replace that with Butterfinger.

Yong Fang · 02-03-2023, 01:16 AM

Me again!

The best chocolate company is Dove. Not to be confused with the dishwashing brand.

My favorite is the strawberry chocolate. It is a pink color and just pure heavenly. Their regular chocolate is also fabulous and the company also makes ice cream bars (but not ones made of the strawberry chocolate unfortunatley.

Don't like any of them.

My favorite is Milky Way.

Each year around Halloween in our office, someone puts out oodles of mixed candy bars for everyone to take. Every year, no exception, the last ones left are Snickers.

GentlemanJim · 02-04-2023, 07:04 AM

I'd like to mention that specific brand of candy bar is not nearly as important to me as is having ample remaining shelf life as indicated by the printed "best by:_____" data........ I absolutely loathe stale candy.

biffbronson · 02-04-2023, 09:07 AM

I like all of them; Hershey's Special Dark is my least favorite. And ironically, the only one I have in the house right now.

Oh well, temptation tempered.

When I was young, here are some of the ones I really went after, sometimes using coins I swiped off my dad's dresser:

Mars Almond Bar -- the old style, with 2 whole almonds on top
Munch Bar (peanut brittle, sometimes under the Snickers brand)
Willy Wonka Scrunch Bar
Willy Wonka Scrumdiddlyumptious Bar
Wayne Bun (peanut cluster, maple or vanilla)
Hershey's Mr. Goodbar

Kit Kat and Take 5 are my favorite Candy bars too!

Snickers is the third.

I'm surprised Hershey and M&Ms aren't on the list. I find Hershey waxy, but it is a world famous Chocolate bar. And M&Ms are world famous Chocolate candy too.

I agree with you. Reese's Fast break is better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups because Fast break is Nougat, Peanut Butter and chocolate. Reese's peanut butter cups are just peanut and chocolate.

I agree. Their dark chocolate is delicious. Chocolove dark chocolate with cherries and almonds is also yummy. Of the bigger names I still like a plain old Hershey bar, Twix, and Milky Way.

Does anybody else remember Sam's Choice peanut butter cups? They were a Walmart brand that was so much better than Reese's. The chocolate was smoother and thicker and the peanut butter was much creamier. Wally World really screwed up when they discontinued them.

River Jordan · 02-04-2023, 12:49 PM

I agree with the above Poster that Dove is a good chocolate candy bar too!

My local stores stopped selling the standard bar years ago however.
