My girlfiend loves the Reeses bar.

2nd choice

I like Reeses’ cups.

I also like Three Musketeers.

I even like Tootsie Rolls.

Twix and Heath Bars are hard to beat.

Back in the day at the Tastee-Freez I worked at, before it was even popular to do so, we would grind-up Heath Bars and use as toppings for Sundaes.

A butterscotch sundae topped with Heath Bar pieces was an oft asked for item. Gawd only knows what the calorie content was. Damn it was good though.

I'll have you know that I "invented" the hot fudge milkshake. It got so popular in my town we charged an extra .35 cents for them.

Snickers is still the best in my opinion.

It has everything. Chocolate, Caramel, peanuts, nougat. The works.

I like to go to a local candy maker and pick up some home made stuff.

The local merchant sells out quick though, so, barring that, I will pick up some Dove chocolates and almonds, and pop an individually wrapped chocolate and a couple roasted-salted almonds in my mouth.

Why have the quality of all the candy I knew as a kid, gone so down hill? It all tastes like garbage the past few decades IMO?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The list is just wrong.

How can this one be left out....

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Abba Zabba!

Hershey's

Zero Bar

Heath bars are delicious.

The golden age of American Chocolate has passed. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, Chocolate back in the 70s was much better. Nestle's Crunch Bars and Nestle Milk Chocolate Bar were very good. Real Chocolate. Nestle's new stuff is pure crap (at least in the US). Hershey's are not as bad, but still far from what they were. The US has lesser standards for Chocolate than do the Europeans and Japanese.

To be honest, you can't get really good store bought candy bars in the US. Now Europe and Japan have some really good chocolate you can buy in the stores. For instance, Milka makes a very good chocolate bar.

If you want to know the difference between American and European Chocolate, look at the Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar. In the US it is average because it has a different formula. In England where they have stricter laws regarding Chocolate content, the Dairy Milk bar is delicious.

This is not to say that local US chocolatiers don't make good chocolate. They do.

Munson’s History​

Munson’s Chocolates was founded by Ben and Josephine Munson in 1946 and originally titled “The Dandy Candy Company.” With little more than a dream, they set out to build a business that would reflect their commitment to quality and service.

Pictured in 1954: Josephine Munson, Robert Munson and Benjamin Munson

Their first store was located in Manchester, Connecticut behind a tailor shop. It was there that they would make batches of wafers and ribbon candy from the sugar rations they received following the end of WWII. Soon after, they moved their base of operation to a horse barn. They converted the barn into two parts: a kitchen and a retail store.

My fave too.... but they will pull a filling out!

Snickers and M&M peanut are pretty good too.

Not a candy bar, but I grew on these.... hard to find now.

Likely nothing will ever beat Snickers. Top of the popularity list for over 40 years.

Milky Way bars have been my favorite for a while

That and Reese cups

That and Reese cups

I use to like Reese cups. I don't know... something changed with them at some point over the past few decades.
To me, it has an unpleasant taste... can't quite place it.
