Hershey Bars. The BIG size. It’s cheaper by the ounce.
I got a serious chocolate jones goin’ here.
I picked up a bag of Hershey’s mint chocolate kisses yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. Good balance of mint and chocolate, smooth and creamy when allowed to melt while lodged against my soft palate. Twix are also a personal favorite, as are Mounds, Peppermint Patties, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Don’t avoid the Hershey’s Cookies n Cream, those are the best. Mmmmm.
Reeses Cups. the best. Also Peanut butter M & M’s. I just love that chocolate peanut butter combination.
Hugh Jass, you mentioned circus peanuts. Read more about them HERE.
I can’t agree more with this, although the one that beats them all are the Reese’s holiday candies – the Peanut Butter Trees at Christmas, Eggs at easter, pumpkins at Halloween. Who knows what is so different about these than the regular Reese cups but they’re about the most orgasmic treats out there right now.
On the other end of the scale I was given a box of candy bars from a European trip a friend took a few weeks ago. I found the European versions of Kit Kat, Snickers, and Milky Way to be nasty. Candy should be sweet, those candies were bitter. Yuk.
The other Reese’s I was thinking of was Nutrageous. I totally forgot about the Pieces. Mmmmm Peanut buttery.
I’m eating a Chunky right now.
I used to like Chunkys, but anymore I can’t seem to find any except raisin and I don’t like raisins.
Some of the best american candies (not Just Chocolate) IMHO are :
Skittles
Starburst
Circus Peanuts
Air heads
Milky way
100 grand bar
the first 3 are a must have.
Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten pop rocks, they , too, are a definite must !!!
Chic-O-Sticks
Candy Baked Beans
Hey Days(a Nabisco treat no longer manufactured:()
Chocolate Pop Rocks
ButterRum LifeSavers
Mountain Bars
Idaho Spuds
OK. Thanks for all the help.
I went to the store today, with all the names from this thread whirling through my head, and it turns out the don’t stock as much stuff as I thought they did. Made it easier on me, I just picked two of everything 
If anyone is interested, here’s what I got :
2 x
Hershey’s Rally
Reese’s
Hershey’s 5th Avenue
Nestle Butterfinger
Hershey’s Whatchamacallit
Nestle 100 Grand
Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme
Hershey’s Crunchy Cookie Bar
Nestle Baby Ruth
Big Red cinnamon gum
I also got a pack of Hot Tamales, and a handful of Hershey’s kisses.
Mars bars, Snickers, M&M’s and Milky Ways are all freely available in supermarkets in Australia, so I wanted to get the stuff that they really missed. I hope I’ve at least gotten a few things they’ll like 
Thanks for everyone’s help… and I hope they offer me a piece of that chewing gum, I’ve never tasted cinnamon flavoured gum and the thought is making my mouth water.
Czarcasm? are you freakin serious? Choclate Pop-rocks? I must have these Chocolate Pop-rocks of Which you speak!! I must!!! :eek:
Snickers “CRUNCHY” bar…damn good!
It’s kind of a cross between a regular Snickers and a Reeses and a Nestle’s Crunch, beware this candybar is highly addictive!
Oooh- you gotta try my wife and kids favorites…Warheads and Cry-babies…you just gotta…no doubt about it.
<sinister grin on t-keela’s face as he posts this message>;)
Thank God you got the Watchamacallits. Those are simply the best.
Forget the after school special, go to the REAL source!
Goo - Never had cinnamon flavored gum? What on earth is your gum usually flavored with? It must be very boring there in Australia 
And also, I don’t totally understand your friends’ obsession with American candy. When I was in Britain, I noticed that all of their candy had an American equivalent. I even tried them. Tasted the same…at least to my unrefined taste buds.
