The Vermont Country Store http://vermontcountrystore.com carries a lot of the candies mentioned here, and then some 
Something no one else ever seems to remember: Triple decker bars. Three layers of chocolate fused together, each layer about as thick as an ordinary Hershey’s bar. The bottom layer was dark chocolate, the middle white chocolate, and the top layer milk chocolate.
Yeah! That’s my kind of chocolate bar: chocolate plus chocolate plus more chocolate! Why waste good space on fruit or nuts or rice?
Try Walmart or Big Lots. I buy Zero bars for my mom at both on a regular basis.
Thanks for the earworm. I haven’t seen that commercial in about 25 years. It’s a beautiful ad by 1980s standards, but the haunting jingle … DAMN YOU!
Zero Bars are available at my local gas station. Or were about three months ago.
M&M Crisps don’t seem to be around by me anymore, sadly. I liked those.
I remember the Triple Decker Bar. They were made by Nestle sometime around 1970. I believe it was the first mass-produced candy bar to have white chocolate in it. (Not only that, I also remember the commercials for it. They were part of a series of ads pairing a boy with a stop-motion animated puppet who lived in a candy house. At the end of each commercial, the boy would break off the chimney on the candy house and eat it which, of course, really pissed the little guy off.)
{Nestle Alpine White} I don’t have a cite for it, but I’m thinking the woman singing later had a hit, um, not with that jingle, but something else. I seem to remember it from a Behind The Music or Before They Were Famous episode. Sofie B. Hawkins, maybe? I do remember the commercial, especially the shot of the guy with impossibly blue eyes.
A great one that’s still around but hard to find is Zagnut. It’s kind of like a Butterfinger center (though less sharp tasting), but instead of chocolate it’s covered in toasted coconut. “Old Man Rick” at the gas station I worked at in high school found 'em to sell there since they were his favorite.
Aren’t some candy bars regional in scope, even though they might be made by a national confectioner? I remember a few Noo Yawkers in college talking about how much they missed Zagnut bars and complaining that it was one of the things that was harder to find in Buffalo, so maybe it’s a NYC thing?
Then again, because of the proximity to Canada, Cadbury-branded candy bars are far easier to find in the region than elsewhere in the US, and there’s the local treat of sponge candy. I’ll take Aero bars and sponge candy over a Zagnut any day. 
My favorite is the first chocolate bar created: Ganong’s Pal-o-Mine, which has been made since 1910 (although it wasn’t given that name until 1920).
Slow Poke
Black Cow
Giant Sweet Tarts (about 2" round and maybe 3/4" deep)
{Continuing hijack – all apologies} Sophie B. Hawkins had a version of the commercial’s song herself. This version of the commercial – which led to big things for Ms. Hawkins – has a couple of foxes in it.
I loved this series of commercials – beautiful song and images. I prefer the imagery of the version from the original link, though – it’s like an N.C. Wyeth painting that has come to life. My love of the song, sadly, did not match my enthusiasm for the product. It was one of my first experiences in that regard. That’s probably another thread: commercials you love for products you don’t. {Hijack continuance ends.}
Marathon, absolutely. Lotsa good memories of that candy bar.
I also miss the chocolatiest bar of all, the Bar None. I believe it was chocolate-filled chocolate wafers, covered in chocolate, then tiny peanut bits, sealed in yet more chocolate. Very rich, very tasty.
I’m adding my votes in for Marathon and Chocolite.
Every now and then I get a serious craving for those two candies. I can still taste them…mmmmm
My next oldest sister and I used to love Bub’s Daddy bubble gum and the old Jolly Rancher Stix. Those ribbons of Jolly Rancher goodness that you could suck into a razor sharp point and fear you were going to stab yourself in the tongue or roof of the mouth!
I also remember when Charms Suckers were HUGE and you could barely fit one in your mouth. They weren’t overly sugary and had great flavors.
This gets my vote too!
I opened this thread specifically to mention PB Maxx, and see that a couple of other people beat me to it. I used to eat one of these every day at break during high school, and I still get a craving for them sometimes. The peanut butter was what set them apart; instead of the crumbly textured, oversweetened stuff you find in most candy bars, this was creamy and had the perfect sweet-salty balance.
My favorite of all time.
I found Ice Cubes in the bulk candy section of the grocery store, silver wrapper. They’re about the unhealthiest thing you can eat, but they have a chocolate texture you don’t usually find in this level of candy.
That’s the one I miss the most.
Anybody else remember the old Abba-Zabba wrappers? I haven’t seen one since the 50’s or early 60’s. Essentially the same as the current wrapper except for an extremely offensive cartoon stereotype African native.

Prepare to be happy. Go out and buy an Almond Snickers bar. It’s the same old Mars bar, they just changed the name.
You’re welcome.
