Yesterday I saw a commercial for the new [Wazoo](http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/topps_blue_razz_wazoo/) candy bar. I haven’t tried it yet, but it got me thinking: this candy bar has no chocolate in it. It’s two layers of fruity nougat covered in a fruity confectioners coating. Sounds delightful, but no chocolate?? Has there ever been a candy bar that contained no chocolate? There are lots of examples of candy with no chocolate, but none that I would consider a “candy bar” ---

Yeah, Payday is the biggie that came to mind first. I think Zagnut is choco-free as well. ---

Zagnut. Bit O’ Honey isn’t, strictly speaking, a candy bar but that’s the shelf you buy it off of. ---

We had a Wazoo bar in our house…(it’s a short but boring story involving college nicknames) It’s dreadful. Tastes like kool-aid powder stirred into Play-doh. great for gag gifts, but not a refreshing, or delightful choco-free snack. And my answer to the OP woulda been Payday. ---

Another great one! There’s also the similar Munch bar, which has a higher candy/peanut ratio. I prefer the Planters, myself. ---

There was a limited-edition Reese’s cup featuring peanut-butter-flavored coating over peanut butter, as well as the “white chocolate” variant. (Which then leads to: is a “cup” a candy bar?) A number of Kit Kat variants, especially in Japan, feature no chocolate. Green tea/matcha, orange, and so on. Winter Clark bars-- that Clark/Butterfinger-type filling, covered in “white fudge.” Nasty stuff. Like the Reese’s above, another white chocolate variant. Hershey’s Cookie’s ‘n’ Creme, Nestle White Crunch, and probably any number of white chocolate variants of normal bars… ---
