My favorite is Heath bars (or their identical twin Skor). However, they aren’t usually very easy to find. After that, I’d have to vote for Cadbury’s Flake, although I have never found anything like it in the States. If I am standing in a grocery store line, and HAVE to buy a candy bar, I generally get Hershey’s with Almonds, if they don’t have Heath/Skor or Midnight Milky Way. ---

Hey, Big Hunks are great, and Look (the chocolate-coated version) is even better. I have too many crowns in my mouth to risk eating 'em now, though. But the all-time menace to dental work is the Abba Zaba, which I swear has an outer shell of sweetened epoxy. It’ll pull every filling out of your head. ---

First choice is Kit Kat. Second is Almond Joy or Mounds (depending on mood). Third is Take Five. Fourth is Payday. Payday moves up to the #1 position if I’m actually hungry instead of snicky snacky and all I have is a vending machine. They are filling and not so sweet that they make me feel ill. That cherry thing sounds interesting. Can someone describe? ---

I loves me a ZERO bar. It’s rare enough to be a real treat. You can’t find them in regular grocery stores, just the occasional convienance store. ---

Cherry Ripe is a Cadbury product from Australia… It’s a thinner, flatter bar, not a narrower, thicker one. A mash of ground cherry and coconut is coated with a rich dark, creamy chocolate. IMHO, it’s great. ---

My favorite candy bar of all time was the Bar None. If I had known they were going to stop making them, I would have bought crates of them and stuck them in a deep freeze somewhere. I miss my Bar None ☹ (Not to be confused with the Bar One which available here in South Africa, and, I believe, in Europe.) ---

If I had known they were going to stop making them, I would have bought crates of them and stuck them in a deep freeze somewhere. I miss my Bar None ☹ (Not to be confused with the Bar One which available here in South Africa, and, I believe, in Europe.) Make that the (original) Bar None sans caramel, and I agree. I miss that candy bar too. Guylian shells, Cadbury Flakes or some kind of dark chocolate are my favorites. I like Dove’s dark chocolate ok. ---
