Square cookie (better texture than Twix, IMHO) with a generous dollop of yummy peanut butter, with peanuts, enrobed in chocolate. I would also be happy to find a Mars Bar again. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > I’d add Nestle’s Cookies and Mint – my daughter’s favorite. Hershey’s, not Nestle’s. And agreed. Not strictly a candy _bar_, but the original Lifesavers Five Flavors assortment. (I also want the original Tropical Fruits and Fancy Fruits assortments back, while we’re at it.) ---

Hershey’s _Krackle_ bar only seems to show up in mixed bags of fun-sized bars anymore. I like them as full-fledged bars. ---

I also miss Regal Crown sours. ☹ Anyone else remember Choco-Lite? A square (block-shaped, not flat) chocolate bar, but whipped, so it had tiny holes in it? Looking back, it was probably a cost-saver for the manufacturer, but what a treat in its day! ---

> [@installLSC](#): > > For whatever reason, I’ve been thinking about the [Nestle Alpine White bar](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGjDjKJWwvs), which was a white chocolate/almonds bar sold in the 80s. White chocolate.. There’s not cuh thing as “white chocolate” really. :pIt’s just some sort of fat, sweetened. Often they use cocoa butter, it’s true. wiki ““White chocolate” contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk but no cocoa solids (and thus does not qualify to be considered true chocolate).” I want the **Snickers Charged** back. ---

There is indeed such a thing. To be called White Chocolate in the US, it must have a minimum of 20% cocoa butter per the [FDA Guidelines](http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/FoodLabelingNutrition/ucm059076.htm), among other restrictions. ---

For a brief time in the early 90’s there was Twix Cookies and Cream. Instead of the caramel nougat in the middle, it was just a layer of delicious cream and the cookie wafer was chocolate. So much better than regular Twix. ---

Candy cigarettes, not because they are tasty or anything but because they are cigarettes and they are candy. ---

Not exactly a candy bar, but Wacky Wafers. (I’m secretly hoping someone will say, “Wacky Wafers? So-and-so sells those online.”) ---

I miss Choclair bars. Damn, those were good. In fact, I’m now craving one, which sucks because I haven’t seen one in five years or so. ☹ ---

Looking back, it was probably a cost-saver for the manufacturer, but what a treat in its day! Loved Choco-Lite. If you liked those, you’d like the Cadbury Flake. ---

A bar I like, that apparently is being phased out, is Take 5. Does anyone know if Take 5 is still being made, in the same numbers? ---

I buy them at the BX on base all the time, both regular size (in the 8 pack) as well as bags of minis. Shall I pick some up for you next time I shop? ---
