Nestle’s Crunch, Twix, or Kit Kats.

I don’t like pure chocolate. The extra crunchy bits make all the difference.

Glad to see all the Twix fans checking in! 😉

For me – Milk Way Dark. Totally depraved, totally perfect.

Someone should be paying me for the straight lines I offer unto the board. 🙂

(But, um, yeah. And sometimes I don’t.)

Oh my.

Same here, I get them when traveling. Another rare favorite are Bit-O-Honey (not sure if they would properly be considered a candy bar tho’ they are in bar form). I only see 'em at little rinky dink truck stops.

My candy bar addiction is [Chocolove brand 65% dark chocolate with crystallized ginger](http://www.chocolove.com/ginger_dark.htm). I eat at least three of 'em a week, usually more. The chocolate is so amazingly good it’s spoiled me for regualr convenience store chocolate…

P.B. Maxx, but they haven’t made those in years. . .

Currently? Twix, both the caramel and the peanut butter incarnations. Yummy!

Um - chocolove sounds sooo good - the one with the ginger I want to try. Great - a new addiction!

I love anything with Chocolate and Almonds. One local candy place makes Almond bark and it is wonderful!

My favorite candy bar is Reese’s Nutrageous – whenever I get one, I unwrap it and smell it the entire length of the bar; the smell of peanut butter and chocolate is intoxicating.

While I will commend you on the choice of Dark chocolate over the muddy brew of milk chocolate for your Milky Ways, I must disagree in the Big Kat.

The chocolate/wafer/filling ratio is just out of whack. The Big Kat tastes more like a typical chocolate bar with some crisp part stuck in, while the small ones taste more like chocolate covered wafers. And yes, small Kit Kats would be better yet with dark chocolate.

But if you REALLY want chocolate, you gotta skip the whole “bar” mentality.  
[Cocoa bean crunchies. Now THIS is chocolate crack.](http://www.yachanagourmet.com/products.htm) And it even verges on being healthy!

Symphony bar. Hershey’s chocolate with bits of toffee and toasted almonds. Yum!
