Almond Joy (and other wonderful cheap candies)

I wish I could get Violet Crumble hereabouts! Luscious!

YES!!!

Has anyone mentioned Jordan Almonds? One of my faves. I remember something called “Peanut Bar” (I think). Not the same as a Payday, just peanuts welded together with sweet stuff, not as crunchy as peanut brittle. I haven’t seen those for awhile.

Guess what Chick-O-Stick is covered with? :smiley:

I hate coconut but I’ll still eat Chick-O-Stick.

If you describe it, maybe someone can come up with the name.

:wink:

I know Hershey’s isn’t everyone’s favorite candy, but I like Hershey’s Miniatures. When I was little I always left the dark chocolate, but I enjoy them now.

All of you anti-coconut heathens are just being racist. And religiousist. I love coconut almost as much as I love bacon.

They need to make a coconut-sprinkled bacon strip or a bacon-wrapped coconut ball. Bacoconut. Bacoconuton. Cobaconuton. Cocobaconut. Ballobacoconuton… … …well now the words have lost all sense.

The “Take Five” bar is really a wonderful glorious mess. “Pretzels thrown in? Sure! Why not?” Also a huge fan of Hot Tamales and Bit O’Honey.

Chunky is nice but IMHO overpriced, being as Cadbury puts out a superior product. Also, if you can take out a second mortgage, you can get the very tasty** CAILLER L’Art du Brut, Milk Chocolate with whole Almonds, Hazelnuts & Raisins.

Walgreens carries Chunky candy. I saw it on the shelves a couple months ago. I was buying a bag of lifesavers.

I don’t see Chunky at other stores. Just Walgreens.

Made in my old hometown. From the northwest, are you?

Strawberry Twizzlers, slightly stale.

It’s extremely odd to me, but there are a lot of videos on YouTube of Europeans trying American candies, and they ALL hate Hershey chocolate, and compare it to the taste of vomit. I certainly can’t understand it.

3 Musketeers, Butterfingers, Reese’s PB Cups, Kit Kats. That is all.

Any others are a sign of capitalism gone crazy.:stuck_out_tongue:

Hershey Chocolate is unlike Euro chocolate. We are used to it, they arent.’ Vomit is likely a baseless accusation, but “strange, off, unusual” are all what I have heard Euros say.

OTOH, cheap Euro choco tastes waxy to me, like cheap easter bunnies.

my dollar tree also gets chunky regularly …relatives buy 5 or 6 at a time and freeze em …

It’s not a baseless accusation. It’s to do with their processing.

Right on the wiki, so it’s common enough to be a semi-common idea.

Almond Joy, Mounds, 3 Muskateers, plain M&Ms, and Circus Peanuts.

You can almost feel your cholesterol count rising and clogging your arteries with the sweet, juicy coconut oil.

If you could include a thin chocolate shell, you’d really have something there–Bacochococonut? Get it into stores fast before Emeril and his ilk find out.

Not sure if they’re still around, but used to love Marathon bars–a double helix of caramel with a chocolate covering. They used to be the size of three credit cards laid end-to-end and a half inch thick. Dinosaurs loved 'em.

You can still get Goo Goo Clusters, particularly at Cracker Barrel. I like the pecan version best.

I actually like Hershey’s milk chocolate, but I did notice that bile-y vomit flavor about a decade ago. (ETA: Actually, it looks like it was more like five years ago when I first noticed it.) It came out of nowhere. Not sure if I was just more sensitive to it that particular day (certain days I’m more sensitive to some flavors than others) or I had a particularly strong batch, but the flavor was unmistakable. I don’t mean like, oh, this stuff is so gross it tastes like puke, but literally, there was the background flavor like what is left in your mouth after you vomit. I actually Googled it (as I had never heard this description of Hershey’s before this) only to find that I wasn’t the only one, and learned of the sour milk or whatever it is that is used in their chocolate making to give it that tang. So, it’s definitely not a flavor people are making up to disparage American milk chocolate or something like that–it’s there, and it tastes literally faintly of vomit to some people. I don’t really notice it now unless I’m concentrating on it.
