Throw the Mars bars and Baby Ruths in the freezer too! ---

The original frozen candy is Charleston Chew. They suggested on the wrapper that freezing was the thing to do. ---

Reeses peanut butter cups are infinitely better if eaten frozen. It seems to take the sickliness away somewhat. Cherry Ripes are also nice frozen. ---

When chocolate is frozen, you can scrape it with your teeth, then chew it up into little bitty pieces. Then as it’s starting to melt, take a swig of milk and it all solidifies into a glob. I love doing that. Wish I had some Hershey’s Hugs right now. They’re also good in ice cream. ---

I’ve mentioned this before but I like frozen Junior Mints. They’re like little bits of chocolate mint ice cream. ---

I’ve been known to eat a whole bag of frozen snickers (fun size) in a day! I also love frozen friut. When I was a kid we had a chest freezer in our bedroom for a short time due to space problems. I remember my parents coming in and finding all of the frozen fruit missing. It came in handy for a midnight snack. ---

Frozen Keebler Deluxe Graham Cookies (the ones that are covered with Chocolate) and Grasshopper Cookies (Mint Cookies covered with Chocolate). YUMMY Goodness. Frozen Candy Bars are good also. ---

My dad always used to freeze caramel Twix. Haven’t had one of those in about 15 years. ---

I do refridgerate such candies as Reeses Peanut Butter cups, Kit-Kats, plain M&M (not peanut - too hard otherwise), and so on, but never Freeze. Not sure I want to even try… Almost all Little Debbie snack cakes (food of the goods) take better refridgerated (especially Zebra Cakes - glorious!) 🙂 ---

Frozen Snickers are my favorite too! YUMMY. I think we had frozen Hostess cakes when we were younger, but I haven’t thought about doing that in a while. All Snickers go in the freezer though. Mmmm…so good. I used to work at a gas station and we had these candy bar holders on the inside of the cooler doors just for those who like theirs cold. It was nice. ---

I’ve seen some of my co-workers putting chocolate bars in the freezer at work. They also experimented with melting Campino candies in the microwave and freezing the melted goo. Dunno what the results were. ---

I personally hate frozen candy bars – too hard to bite and chew, and so cold that their flavor is muted at best. I totally don’t see the point. That said, however, drive-thrus around here often advertise on the windows of their coolers that they have frozen candy bars – so you can get a frozen Snickers to go with your twelve-pack, yummy, I guess. (Whatever happened to beef jerky and Doritos?) I guess it must sell well, or there wouldn’t be so many of them doing it. I think it has only recently become common in such a commercial setting, but I have known of people doing it at home forever. Now, melted chocolate in the microwave, that’s a different story. Semi-sweet chocolate chips right out of the bag make a simple but luscious melted treat. ---

My grandad always used to give us frozen mars bars when i was younger, they were good for getting rid of my wobbly teeth. What exactly happens to an apple when you freeze it? Isnt it quite difficult to eat? ---

Frozen Twinkies dunked in milk. That’s a guilty pleasure. Wha? You say my red-neck roots are showing? ---

Frozen Butterscotch Krimpets or Kandy Kakes. Great at room temperature, better frozen. ---

Like **Kyann** said, all the convenience stores around here put a few candy bars on a little shelf on the cooler doors during the summer, just for people who like 'em cold. It seems pretty traditional; I think you just have weird friends, **Markxxx.** 😃 I’ve never heard of frozen snack-cakes, though…although I myself do like 'em cold from the fridge. I like cold cookies, cakes, etc…but not _frozen._ And I hate frozen/cold candy bars. They’re just a tease b/c they’re too hard to eat. ---

When I was a kid, I once froze a British Mars Bar (I think that’s a Milky Way in Yankland) and then licked it about a third of the way down like an ice cream. My tongue went red and swelled up for a week. ---

I freeze (or refrigerate) Mounds bars. They are too soft at room temperature. Frozen soft cookies are excellent too. They aren’t icy solid, just dense.
