And where to get some of them.

My favorites:

1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
2. Rocky Road
3. Raisinets
4. Hershey w/Almonds
5. Milky Way

My apparently now-defunct favorite: Reese's Cookie Crunch. Those were to die for, and I've never understood how they just never took off.

In an effort to be more healthful, I rarely eat any of this stuff anymore, though. When the sweet tooth does hit, and I simply can't resist it, I usually go with the Raisinets.

 

The only time I really eat candy is when I go to the theatre, and then, I pick Whoppers 95 times out of 100. Course, the choices are kind of limited, but I think that compels me to vote Whoppers. I would also submit, for the record, that this was a great topic to be accompanied by a poll.

 

1. . Give me a Red Bull and one of these and I'm good to go.

2. Chunky.

3. Kit Kat.

4. Hershey's King Size with Almond.

As for worst candy......see Lewis Black's candy corn rant.

 

An addendum: In the run-up to Easter, I cannot -- am absolutely physically unable -- to avoid having at least one Cadbury Creme Egg. My teeth bark at me for days afterward, but sweet lord are those things manna from heaven.

 

1. Reese's Cups.
2. Peanut butter M&M's.
3. Mike 'n Ike's
4. everything else

 

Crunch bars
chocolate covered pretzels
Reeses Cups
Kit Kat bars
Jelly Belly jellybeans
Starbust
Skittles
Nerd Rope
Blow Pops

Give me those candies and they can do away with the rest.

Do they still sell the crispy M&Ms?

 

Ding ding ding. Hardest Easter of my life was a year and a half ago when I was on Weight Watchers and ate nary a Creme Egg. So wasn't worth it.

 

I'll echo the love for Reese's Cups...everything else lags behind.

 

Skittles, starburst, or nerds.

 

I wonder if they would go well with a Sam Adams

 

If we charted my lifetime candy consumption, SweeTarts would be waaaay in the lead.

I'm still rather bitter that they replaced lime with green apple (wikipedia says that happened in 2001). Damn you, Nestle!

At some point in my youth (1966, maybe), there were rolls of all-grape Sweetarts.

I've become more fond of chocolate stuff as I have gotten older. As much as I like the four-brand Hershey's Miniatures, I'm thinking that the Cadbury Milk Chocolate Fruit and Nut bar would be my No. 1 desert island candy bar draft pick.
