What are your favorite kinds of candy bars? (Also known as "chocolate bars?")

Yesterday I ate a triple chocolate Twix for the first time. It was good.

Those almond snickers are really good. And 100 Grand bars. And Pay Day bars.

Marathon bar. They don't make it any more (haven't in like 20 years or something).

It's sold in the UK as Curly Wurly. I keep telling myself I'm going to buy some and pay to have it imported. I never do.

my wife likes the new take 5 candy bars. i like making a dove block (1 milk chocolate & 1 dark chocolate) and placing them in my mouth at the same time. i forget which one goes on the top and which goes on the bottom but it matters.

Gee, Wanderer, that's really confusing, because the "Snickers" bar used to be called "Marathon" in the UK. And the "Curly-Wurly" is a completely different kettle of fish. Or perhaps I mean a horse of different colour.

Mars Bars are different here. They tell me that in the U.S. Mars bars have raisins in them. They don't around here. They make Mars bars in Slough, just ten miles down the road from here, and if you take the right road through Slough it smells of chocolate. (The other road gets the breeze from the sewage farm. Still smells of something brown, though. )

I used to like the Twix, because it was mostly biscuit, and the coating was a very remote chocolate flavoured substance, so it didn't trigger those auto-immune arthitic sensations.

And I used to like Penguin bars and Orange Club bars. [That's a biscuit, not an Organisation.]

There's an old joke in the UK which goes:

"Why don't Polar Bears eat Penguins?"

"Because they can't get the wrappers off."

Mostly I just like plain chocolate. (But I'll take Godivas if you offer.)
The only pop candy bar which I eat before it has a chance to be doled out to the trick or treaters is Baby Ruth.

Reese pnb eggs. Reese cups are ok, but the eggs are the best.

Butterfinger or Clark Bar.

Other than that, I eat dark chocolate. Tom's been getting me some dark chocolate that is 85% cocoa - it takes some getting used to, but it is really good (I can't taste bitter, so that doesn't bother me).

That's probably why Marathon was called Curley Wurly there

But it's definitely the Curly Wurly that I like, and used to be called Marathon here

Right. They are exactly the same. Due to the heat here, sometimes things hatch out that might look like raisins, but they're not.

I rarely eat a candy bar. But, I can put away chocolate in other forms- the more chocolatey the better. I guess my favorite would be some vanilla ice cream smothered in Hershey syrup that comes in a can- and put more syrup than ice cream...Yummmmmm Second to that would be Lindor chocolate truffles.
